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
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.
The token is a special 3 byte sequence that indicates the state of the ring; it may mark the ring as in-use, or free (anyone can use it), or health status. Any client needs to have access to the token before transmitting or receiving on the ring network.
