Gift Idea for VP in PE

My partner just got promoted to VP at her fund, and I wanted to buy her a thoughtful gift to celebrate her promotion. Any thoughts on nice gifts to buy her? 

I was thinking of getting her an engraved Mont Blanc or Cartier pen or business card holder, but I'm not really sure whether that's something she'll actually use (she's super gen Z). Was also trying to avoid the typical luxury jewelry/watches/scarves because she buys all that stuff herself already (plus she makes double what I make lol). 

Thanks everyone!

Awww what a thoughtful post. Agree business cards aren't used that much post-COVID so maybe deprioritize that one.

Depending on your budget, you could also consider a nice piece of luggage (perhaps monogrammed) (e.g., Tumi, Rimowa, higher end Away, etc.)?

If looking for a lower pricepoint, could get her something like this (https://cuyana.com/products/tech-carryall-13-inch-v2?variant=4438855113…; believe can also be monogrammed)?

 

What a shitty comment — says a lot about you. You have had a 50:50 hit ratio recently, some funny comments tbh, but this was a shot in the oven. 
Someone has a genuine question and tries to make an effort for their partner and you shit all over it with such a stupid comment — probably 45 and virgin but big talk on the forums. Better to shut the fk up, m8.
