This is such a lovely thing to think about! I have girlfriends who are equally career minded and others who are the opposite. Acknowledging that all our choices are good choices has been really fun at this stage in our lives.
Some things my friends and I have done to acknowledge milestones or just that we support each other:
Send flowers (even just because)
Send snail mail (especially when traveling)
Send snacks!
Send coffee!
For me, just being thought about is a huge gesture. I’m sure whatever you choose will be much appreciated!

I’ve added all my friends/family in my phones calendar with repeats annually and I have marked a high alert reminder to go off 2-weeks before hand.
First weekend of the month I’ve gotten into a routine of opening my calendar and making time for these gestures. I have a little box full of cards and I sit down and write them all out that day, schedule flowers, etc.
It’s exhausting at times, but I think the personal aspect is important and I’ve just come to realize even a card is a lovely gesture considering how few I ever receive.
