What's a nice goodbye and good luck present for a former boss of similar age and temperament?

My supervisor from a previous job is leaving the team that both she and I loved a lot, to head out for new and exciting opportunities. She is close to me in age and I'd consider her a friend, albeit not a super-tight one. She's not moving out of town or anything - just searching for new work.

Do you have any recommendations for a lovely, sweet, simple gift I could get her that shows my appreciation without being over-the-top and gushy? She doesn't actually *need* anything, so it's a question of finding her something nice she wants.

About her: she is 27 or 28, and very kind/earthy/liberal. We are both Unitarian Universalists, and the work was in progressive faith, so things with a spiritual - though probably not overtly Jesus-y/Buddha-y/Allah-y - bent would be OK.

(Quick PS - we have both gone through Anne Lamott's books, which we both enjoyed, if that helps any. I'm certainly not limited to faith-based stuff or to books, though.)

For good luck, I like the Neko cat.

I've always thought a nice pen can make for a thoughtful work gift, even if the recipient isn't necessarily a "pen person." It may even turn her into a "pen person."
