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?
A thank you card, a cup, or thanking them publicly on social media (the last one depends on the nature of the reason behind the thank you.)
Again I don’t know about your local rules or what’s available but since you were considering flowers and decided against them because of the price, my suggestion would be a nice thank you card and maybe a small tiny cheap succulent plant. They are hardy, easy to keep even on a desk and they cost like a cup of coffee or so.
I guess it depends on the specific laws of your country, but IMO gifts that have any real value save symbolics are off the table (even if not strictly illegal). I would just send a heartfelt letter expressing my gratitude. That would certainly make them feel very much appreciated!

Larry David voice Flowers?! Too much! It’s too much. What am I… about to marry them? Meeeeeh. No. It’s not for me.
I sent flowers to a different office as an apology, that and donuts are the only thing I can think of to get delivered. it seems like there’s a gap in the middle there, a hole in the market that I could fill. something you could deliver that’s better than donuts but not quite as dramatic as flowers
