I am an overthinker so please excuse me. I started a new job 2 weeks ago. It's a small setup and we work from home. We are a team of 4 including the founder. I have only met the founder and haven't met the other team members. One of the senior team member is leaving the company next week. So the founder initiated a meetup as a little farewell for her. I have known her for only 2 weeks but she is really sweet and helpful. Tomorrow I meet her for the first time and although she is there with us till mid of next month, I don't know if I will met her later. So, I though as a sweet gesture I should get her a gift. I was thinking of getting a small jewellery organizer which is something she can actually use. Does it feel too excessive considering I have know her for only 2 weeks and haven't even met her in person?

Update: Thank you to everyone who responded. You guys were right, the jewellery organizer was too much. I don't know why I thought that was an appropriate gift. I got her a nice chocolate bar and attached a little note. I gave it towards the end while she was leaving. She did seem surprised but accepted it and said we can keep meeting. But I really don't know if we will meet again so I think I did the right thing to give it. Leaving the job seemed like a difficult choice for her too and she said she didn't know what she wanted to do next. I did feel awkward while giving it and although I didn’t need to give her anything, I wanted to.

P.S. I got myself a jewellery organizer instead lol

I (23 F) just graduated and got a job a few days ago. I haven't told a lot of people just my close friends and family. I am still in my probation period. I texted one of my classmates about something and this came up. I told her I got a job. She congratulated me and then immediately asked what my salary was. I brushed it off. But she kept insisting. She is a good friend but not good enough friend that I would share my salary. My salary is a little more than I expected and I don't want everyone to know. What do I do? I left her on read but that feels rude. I am sure this issue might come up with other people in future. This is my first job so I am pretty unexperienced with it. Please tell me what do I respond to her and anyone in the future asking the same question.
