<p>I wanted to buy two of my teachers Christmas presents - my AP World teacher and my AP Environmental teacher, both of whom I had last year, and both of whom were willing to write me letters of recommendation for college.</p>
<p>I didn't want to get them gift cards because I felt like gift cards are kind of a default gift if you need to get gifts for a long list of people you don't really know.</p>
<p>I bought them books. They're both hardcover -</p>
<p>for my AP World teacher - I got him a book that is a compilation of classic rock posters from around the world, years 1951 - 2013. He's a die hard Pink Floyd and Rolling Stones fan so I thought this was appropriate. Last year, he used to tell me his favorite songs from different rock bands.</p>
<p>for my AP Environmental teacher - I got her a very large reference book which basically shows high definition photos of all parts of the Earth with detailed descriptions of different forests, mountain ranges, marine trenches, etc -- basically the series "Planet Earth" but in book form. It has a white cover and literally says "Earth" right in the middle. </p>
<p>Do you think these are creative enough or should I've just gone for the gift card thing?</p>
