I’m a TT professor at an R1 (STEM, US, vhcol city). Someone on my finance team has really been amazing on this last grant, and I’d love to send them a little something to say thank you.
Would a $20 gift card sent via email with a short note be appropriate?
I don’t want it to be awkward — they were basically just doing their job — but they also did their job really well, and I feel like admins are often overlooked and underappreciated, especially in current era (IDC cuts and more).

Yup. Not awkward at all
Chocolate. And yes, recognizing the hard work of admins is very welcome and commendable.
