Card of appreciation?

I literally am now just starting my career path and i got some great advice from someone and want to give them a card of appreciation. Do I do this? Do I slip in money or a gift card. This has never happened to me where people are actually nice to me so I don’t know what to do or say.

I think that it’s always nice to gift a little treat, like a cup of coffee or a gift card to a close by or well liked lunch/treat spot. I usually go between $10-20 at most. I have a lot of intelligent, incredible friends who are all well along or well developed in their careers and the amount of people who reach out to have similar conversations is honestly astonishing to me! They notice the people who will offer to pick up the coffee, or bring a little something as a thank you for their time and advice!

If you found value in the conversation and want to further develop the relationship (which you should!! This is great networking), this is also a good move.

I don’t know her well enough to know where she likes to eat.
