<p>Any good ideas?</p>
<p>Chocolates or gift cards =) </p>
<p>This is for teachers who wrote your references i am assuming?</p>
<p>for male teachers? (Im a male, and want to thank my teachers for awesome references that got me in XD)</p>
<p>I’m also curious.</p>
<p>Not only for rec’s, but for one teacher in particular who has sacrificed virtually all high outside life to be the best teacher he can. Everyone loves him. People he doesn’t have in classes sometimes come in, and today an asian girl didn’t get his explanations with dropping weights in a glass to change water level (despite not being a physics teacher). He actually set up a mini-demo just to show her how it worked. He even went to MIT. He’s definitely my role model. He’s a truly awesome man, and I really want to show him that I really appreciate everything he’s done for his students over the years.</p>
<p>Yes this is for recommendation letter teachers. Without their help I doubt I could have gotten in. And yes they are both male.</p>
<p>I want to do the same! I can’t say thanks enough times.</p>
<p>i gave every teacher chocolates, but i guess ill give them something nice before i graduate.</p>
<p>I’m planning on giving my teachers chocolates and thank you cards</p>
<p>I think I’ll be giving my teacher a big hug, a long sincere thank-you note, maybe chocolates or something, and probably something else. This man has made so many sacrifices in order to be such a great teacher. He’s my role model, and I really have huge respect and appreciation towards him.</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>I encourage all of you guys to write a sincere thank-you note if the teacher has been absolutely exceptional. I don’t mean a “Thanks for the rec” note, bu rather a “Thanks so much for all the years of dedication you gave your students, you have inspired us” sorta thing</p>
<p>Get them a nice new Italian Sports Car lol…jk… but seriously, ask them what they like, or if you want it to b a surprise, ask someone to do it for you. For example, this teacher at my school absolutely HATES chocolate ( I know right, who hates chocolate), but when we asked her what she does like she says she absolutes LOVES Pringles (Yummmm) and that she wouldn’t mind it being the only thing she eats for the rest of her life. So I say get the facts first, then buy a nice gift for them, and a thank you card is always a nice add-on.</p>
<p>any other ideas?</p>

<p>Write that to him in a letter. It will mean more than any gift.</p>
<p>I think you need a more personalized gift. Everyone can give them chocolate but what is your special way of thanking them?</p>
<p>PS: I gave my teachers calenders that fit their personality and on every day of the year, I wrote in a whimsical holiday that is normally not celebrated.</p>
<p>Gift cards! Teachers make crappy salaries, so they can use all the “pseudo-cash” they can get.</p>
<p>I included thank-you cards on Cornell stationery. [You</a> can order them online](<a href=“http://csop.cbs.cornell.edu/cgi-bin/webc.exe/st_prod.html?p_prodid=516&p_catid=40]You”>http://csop.cbs.cornell.edu/cgi-bin/webc.exe/st_prod.html?p_prodid=516&p_catid=40). Classy!</p>
<p>ohhhh me too intl_echo! i gave them cornell thank-you cards and cornell mugs (they were like $4 each but also connected back to the school)</p>
