What's a nice but inexpensive token of appreciation

gift to give to a couple of employees?
I was thinking flowers - they are two women, but that can be costly right? Ideas? TIA

They don't really go for manicures..or like chocolate too much.. hmmm

If you work in NYC, Starbucks Gift Cards (or any other local vendor ... Au Bon Pane, Hale & Hearty, local manicure place etc ...)

One company I worked for used to give us a gc for the company cafeteria so we could get lunch on them.

Are you their manager? Can they leave an hour early on Friday? That would have meant A LOT to me to beat the commute and start my weekend a little earlier.

Excellent idea!

ETA: Since I don't drink coffee and haven't stepped foot into DD in years...I like this idea, if you're allowed to do it of course. The Godiva is also a good idea.

For around $30-40 per bottle (I think closer to $30), you can get Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin Yellow Label Brut Champagne.

That's one of my favorites.

I would say an comped day off, or to work half a day. I would LOVE if I got that as appreciation for my work.

ITA. Find out where they order in from ( a local place) and pay for their order one day. I would also buy a card for each and write something nice to them in the card.
