Any good gift ideas for summer interns heading back to school? Would prefer something more meaningful (advertising/writing-related) vs. the gift card route. Thanks!!

Side note to this, that’s really kind to think about getting a gift for summer interns. I would have loved to get anything when I was an intern (they didn’t even say bye when the interns were done summer). Anyways, just wanted to say this is thoughtful. 🙌🏼

Hello, I am a junior business administrator working in advisory operations. I have been with the company for 6 months, and was employed along with 2 other colleagues. I have picked the job up really fast and am even doing some “extra curricula’s” I really love my job. However I have recently found out I am being paid the same as an apprentice on my team, I usually do at 3 x the work he does whilst also doing my Cert CII. It has really disheartened me and I feel I should be earning more money
