<p>It's almost winter break and my mom tells me that I should give something to the teachers that wrote my rec. letters as a thank you gift. Did anyone else do this? And what did you give</p>
<p>Yup, I did! A gift is a great way to show your appreciation for the time your teachers spent writing your recommendations. I go to a small school and know my teachers really well so I got one teacher Manchester United merchandise and the other a t-shirt with a Physics joke on it. Some great gifts to give teachers in general are tea, gift cards to a local coffehouse, blanket/throw + a book, bath sets, scarf/hat/mitts, amazon gift card, donation to a charity in their name, or even a gift basket that you put together with your teacher’s interests in mind. Write a card with the gift, they’ll probably treasure the card more! The best gift? Cookies you baked! Mmm… :)</p>
