Farewell Penguin Card shows a penguin in a straw hat standing on a stack of vintage suitcases, with gold lettering that says “Sorry You’re Leaving” above and “Waddle We Do Without You” below. The pun on waddle is a light way of saying the office will feel different without them. It was made for the coworker who is packing up and the team that will miss them.
Ships with a kraft envelope; envelope color in photo may vary.
A closer look at the print
The penguin stands tall at the center of the card, its black back and white belly drawn in soft watercolor strokes. It wears a straw hat with a dark red band, giving it a dapper, travel-ready look. Beneath its feet sits a large brown leather suitcase with brass clasps and a handle, and a smaller leather bag rests on top of it. A tan carry case sits to the right, completing the little pile of luggage.
The lettering is set in a thin gold script, one line above the penguin and one below, so the words frame the picture neatly. The style feels like classic travel illustration, which fits the idea of someone heading off on a new adventure. Every element supports the theme of moving on, from the hat to the stacked bags.
Who will love it
The people who will notice the card first are the colleagues who worked beside the one leaving. They will recognize the waddle pun straight away and smile at the picture of the penguin packed for a journey. This card speaks to them in a relaxed, friendly way.
Use it when a coworker is moving on to a new job, retiring, or relocating to another city. A team can pass it around the desks for signatures, and the penguin with its luggage makes the goodbye feel lighthearted. It is a card for the everyday moment of saying so long to someone you worked with.
Occasions and picks
This card is a natural fit for a leaving party, a farewell lunch, or a last-day send-off. It also works well for a retirement celebration or any moment when a colleague is starting a new chapter. Pair it with a small gift or a handwritten note to make the goodbye more personal.
The card comes as a greeting card in a natural color, so it pairs easily with any leaving gift. Keep it on the desk for the last day, or tuck it into a card box with the rest of the team’s messages.
- What does the pun in the lettering mean?
- The pun plays on the word waddle, which describes how a penguin walks. “Waddle We Do Without You” says the office will miss the colleague’s presence, using the penguin on the front as the joke. It is a light, friendly way to say goodbye that people who know penguins will enjoy.
- Who is this card best suited for?
- This card suits a coworker who is leaving a job, retiring, or moving to a new city. It works well for a team that wants to send a playful farewell instead of a serious one. The penguin in a hat with vintage suitcases feels most fitting for someone heading off on a new adventure.
- What occasions and gift ideas does this design work for?
