what to send other than flowers to say thank you? (lemm.ee)

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?

Send a dozen donuts to be delivered first thing in the morning. Avoids the monetary limit and lets them be a hero for sharing the donuts with their coworkers.

A donut delivery service? That’s the most American thing I have read today.

You can get almost anything delivered now with uber eats, door dash, etc. Don't most countries have this now?

Yes, pizza and burgers and stuff, sure. But usually not for donuts.
