Looking for retirement gift ideas for a CHRO of a client who is retiring. She stuck with me when I lateraled to a new firm and has sent me $100k+ of advice & counsel business. I don't know her personally, so hard to get her something super personalized. I know that she has a lake house and lives in a midwestern state (I won't share the locations). Thoughts?

This is incredibly thoughtful and I would be really touched if one of my outside counsel were to recognize my retirement. What about sending her a high quality hard cover coffee table book of photographs of lakes in the region where she has her lake house, inscribed by you expressing thanking her for the trust she has put in you over the years.
