What kind of a gift can you give your teacher out of respect, but that doesn’t get mistaken for romance? - eviltoast

A follow up from my older asklemmy post, saying goodbye to a teacher who helped me a lot through my stuff, was thinking maybe chocolate, but one of the dudes said that it’s not a very good idea, I was thinking maybe a perfume/cologne? What do you guys suggest? She is in probably in her early 20s if it helps, and I am in senior high, damn this is getting weirder and weirder, I just want to run away lol

    I got fired from my job, and while I was cleaning out my locker I found a folder in the back of my locker.

    It had a note from an old lady I helped once. She wrote a whole note about how nice it was to work with me.

    The other thing was a hand-drawn card from a coworker’s daughter, proclaiming me as her friend forever.

    I also had a big stack of gift cards the company had given me to show their appreciation, and I just took them so I’d have food. I don’t feel the slightest bit of meaning from those gift cards.

    Honestly an email from my boss saying “Hey good job on X” would have gone so much further than those gift cards.
