Farewell Gift for Senior Bankers

Anyone have good suggestions for farewell gifts to their senior bankers after their analyst stint is over? Leaving my firm after 3 years as an analyst and a short bit as an associate and I actually like pretty much everyone in my group and know their recs throughout my interviewing process were huge in helping me get my next job.

All the other analysts /associates who left have historically done nice bottles of alcohol which I just find to be a bit boring / unoriginal - I think the last 5 people who left all did this. Found this thread (https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/analyst-fa…) and some others which are all older or not that helpful unfortunately.

Bouquet of colored dildos arranged in a tastefully selected crystal vase. Or if that's too risque for you, draw them a picture as if you were a small child (stick figures drawn with crayons). Depict yourself standing over them in a position of dominance, or perhaps draw yourself on the beach without them. The medium of choice here is obviously construction paper. You could also offer them coupons for free hugs. Use your opposite hand to write the coupons for added effect.

Seriously, just get them a nice bottle of wine.
