Goodbye gift for speech therapist?

Anyone have any good ideas on what to get a speech therapist?  DS has been seeing the same therapist since January, we're leaving private therapy and I'd like to give her something along with a thank you card - but what??  She is twenty something (I think anyway) and I have no idea about anything else, like if she enjoys coffee or whatever.  TIA

    I'm an EI therapist.  Keep it small.  Likely her agency doesn't really allow gifts.  Some of my favorite gifts over the years have been gift cards to coffee as I am constantly on the road.  Hand sanitizer is always important.  I love thank you cards with a picture of the child.  We get attached, and saying goodbye is hard for us too.  2 families recently gave me flowers, and I was so touched by that.  My own son got speech this year and we gave her a card and he picked out a potted plant for her garden (under 4$ but super cute).  For christmas we made ornaments that my son painted and made candy for his therapists and daycare providers.  Hope this helps...

    Movie GC.  Everyone likes to go to the movies and it's consumable.  As a former teacher I have to say consumable/plant gifts are the best esp. if you don't know what the person likes.

    We gave ours a large tote bag from LL Bean with her name on it. She was always cramming all of her stuff into a smaller bag and I thought one with longer handles and more sturdy would be perfect. She loved it. She was with my son for just about 2 years. The hand sanitizer and coffee gift card is a great idea too.

    I agree I think a g/c or small plant is the way to go..what about Target? I am always getting stickers, little toys there for my therapy sessions (I'm an SLP too)..and of course a nice card :)

    Thanks for the ideas!

    I mentioned getting hand sanitizer from Bath & Body along with a gift card and my DH thought I was crazy.  Glad to hear I'm not too far off.

    I really like the movie c/g idea and Target too (DS and DD always get stickers after session).
