It is a 'token' of your affection for that person.

Token ring hub
In a token bus network architecture, the nodes at either end of the bus do not actually meet. In a token ring, the network logically functions as a ring, but is wired as a star.
That is not possible. In Token Ring, only the station with the token can transmit.
IBM created the token ring architecture, which was used for years primarily by Novell.

Token
In a token ring network, there is typically only one token circulating at a time. This token is a special data packet that grants permission to a device to transmit data on the network. If a device has data to send, it captures the token, sends its data, and then releases the token back into the network for other devices to use. Therefore, there is generally just one token in a properly functioning token ring network.
Token Ring is described by the IEEE 802.5 standard. This standard defines the physical and data link layers for Token Ring networks, which use a token-passing protocol for controlling access to the network. Token Ring networks typically operate at speeds of 4 Mbps or 16 Mbps and utilize a star topology with a token that circulates around the network to manage data transmission.
