Note that names the enrollment week, not a case
Why this fits
Enrollment Friday is still a confidential office. A short card that names the town halls — not a personnel file — can go through the coordinator. Look for a card that folds into a 5 inch inbox. Skip if the floor is no-gifts — that is firm policy; buy nothing.
After-town-hall grocery at 6:30
Why this fits
Enrollment weeks end past the deli. A grocery card for the store on their commute covers dinner they skipped. Skip if they live the other way, or if ethics treat cards from employees as reportable during an open case.
Unscented tea for the conference-room stretch
Why this fits
Town halls stack kettles. Individually bagged tea with a caffeine line can live in a drawer. Look for bags that fit a 3 inch cubby. Skip scent — confidential rooms still have allergen rules.

Closed 12 oz bottle for the pantry only

Soft scarf for the 6:40 garage

Bookstore card for their off-duty pile
Why this fits
A modest card to a store they already name is for home, not a training shelf. Skip if cards are prohibited or they have said they will not take a personal card from staff.
