what to send other than flowers to say thank you? (lemm.ee)

I want to send a thank you to a local government official. getting flowers delivered is like minimum $50 these days so fuck that. something like a gift card might be inappropriate for a government employee to accept.

any ideas?

that would actually be perfect. I was getting nowhere with her stonewalling boss

If their boss was being a problem, make sure you don't tell them specific details about how the employee helped. Especially if the employee bent some rules or otherwise went above what they should have. It might get the employee in trouble.
