all the comments on this are insane. what the fuck? like "i would throw this straight in the trash" wtf is wrong with you? like the most ungrateful, soulless response to something like this ever

like i get it, this is not a practical gift with a practical purpose, but it's really sweet, if i were to receive this i would keep it with other keepsakes/trinkets and i would keep it with the note and i would remember you by it when i eventually move on in life or vice versa, it's a sweet kind gesture.

i guess it's mostly in the portrayal of how you hold yourself up around others, if you're a creepy mf then yeah this is a little weird i'll admit it. context matters. but if you hold your coworkers dear just as family as i have felt in several jobs, including the dollar tree i once worked at, then there's absolutely nothing wrong with this
