Ask HN: Small, economical office gifts
I've a project manager at a vendor we work with who I think deserves a small gift. My budget for this kind of stuff is tight. Any ideas for a neat, small gift for a tech-oriented person?

- cauterized 10y agoWhen I've been the vendor, the most appreciated gifts have been food that this person can choose to either bring home or share with their office. I don't need more knick-knacks, but being able to put a smile on my co-workers faces puts a smile on mine. But more importantly, include a heartfelt personalized card thanking the entire team and specifically calling out that person for going above and beyond. A card like that can lift an entire office's morale for the rest of the week, and is something your PM can show off on their desk or use as evidence when asking for a raise.
