Oh, gotcha. The stuffed animal from 1 I'm not so crazy about, since it was just lying around her office. But the stone No. 3 picked out for me, which had direct, personal, relevance to stuff we had discussed, means a lot more. Of course that was also a termination present, so maybe a bit different than "here's something to hold while I'm gone."

I do think if you just had a rupture email might be better.
