Unless your daughter is very close to the woman, I wouldn’t ask her to lunch.

When D was at this stage, I suggested she buy a good pen for the person and she sent a thank you note and connected the gift of the pen with her appreciation for the person’s writing on her behalf. For school personnel, she bought small tokens of appreciation from school’s bookstore when she attended accepted student days. As I recall, she probably gave them chocolates wrapped in foil with college name. NO MUGS.

Recently, as she applied for jobs she sent Tevanna teapots & tea to two previous supervisors she had during summer internships. She also kept them abreast of job offers and her final decision (or what I THINK is her final decision).
