Purple orchid bouquet
Orchids last far longer than roses, so the gesture stays on the table for a week or more.
Gifts for a female colleague
Office gifts should be thoughtful but neutral. Desk plants, journals, candles and small hampers are useful, easy to carry home and never awkward. Keep it professional and avoid anything too personal like jewellery or perfume.
