Any great present ideas for my jobshare partner when I leave?

I have LOVED working with my job share partner but we are not particularly close personally and I am a bit stuck for ideas for a gift, but I would like to send her something. She is lovely and classy, and obvious office type gifts feel a bit impersonal. She is 50, about 10 years older than me, I am the one leaving and she has worked there forever, me only 3 years.

Anyone got good suggestions? I'm trying to trawl through Oliver bonas but I don't know what I am looking for.

Do you have a budget or any more about her?

What she's into type thing...

Is there a book relevant to your profession? Something that sets the tone of how much you've enjoyed the professional relationship.

Tbh I think a card with a note about how much you've enjoyed working with her would be the lovely bit.

Thanks for your responses. Our boss sometimes sends us all books, she never reads them, I do. So I don't think she'd thank me!!

Ive got the card bit sorted, but I just want something to go with it, that marks out relationship in some way. A mug seems trite, and other things seem irrelevant in lots of ways - I wouldn't send toiletries. Maybe a pen or stationery

I know she has a dog, husband is an artist and lives in a nice part of the world.

Whittard coffee or tea selection
Chilly’s coffee cup or Cath Kidston bamboo travel mug (not trite at all IMO)
