+100 on NO to the engraved stone.
We did that for a coworker, thing looked like it was a pet headstone!
Not a great gift.

Definitely no knick knacks!
My suggestion is a personalized handwritten letter of appreciation, plus a bouquet of fresh flowers.
Engraved stone for their desk-no. To be thoughtful, write an individual thank you card to each of them, then enclose the cash, gift card, gift certificate, whatever. One thing this 45-60 year old lady (me) never wants to see again is a useless knickknack.
I totally agree with the above. No useless triffles! Give a nice card with a personalized thank you and a gift card or cash.
The flowers would be shorter lived and less appreciated by me than any knick knack. Just my view.
Perhaps, but you are a man, and these employees are women. I'm a woman, and I would take the flowers any day.

Thought I would add a zero.
And no to the pen idea.
We've tossed the knick knacks from previous employers (including one of those fancy pens that didn't work).
Another option is a gift to a non-profit organization in honor of them.
