<p>i got two of my teachers 15 dollar pen sets</p>
<p>My mom is getting all my senior teachers Staples gift cards. I think Iām going to get a little personal gift for each teacher that wrote me a rec though. Nothing expensive, but personal. Like a mug for the History prof who broke 2 mugs in the span of a week, a science-y pin for the Bio teacher who wears pins, etc.</p>
<p>alright, one more questionā¦not meaning to be rude or anything, but what is an appropriate dollar amount when purchasing gift cards for teachers?</p>
<p>i would say 10-15 dollars. </p>
<p>although, personally, i think giftcards ARE NOT personal. I think itās much nicer to bake them something and write a thank you card. </p>
<p>honestly, i think most teachers would like it much more if they know how grateful you are rather then giving them money.</p>
<p>a card and w/e yor teacher likes is appropriate.</p>
<p>I asked my teachers what they wanted. + card</p>
<p>I baked my teachers blueberry muffins and gave them a thank you card. =)</p>
<p>fellow: yep, Iāve hugged teachers. They hug back 
sammie: I like the idea of the blueberry muffins! </p>
<p>I already gave a thank you card to my teacher, but nothing for my counselor yet. I have about 5 more recs Iād like her to write. Iāll probably bake her something at the end of the year.</p>
<p>I made them thank you cards and gave them gifts from China (pillow cushions, table runners, fans)ā¦haha.</p>
<p>would it be weird to give something handmade? As in like handmade paper rose or handmade cards?</p>
<p>Is it appropriate to give them cards and gifts in April/May, once all the decisions have been released and I know where Iām going?</p>
<p>Thatās what I plan on doing, because I wanted to say something like āIām planning on going to this with a scholarship for X dollars, and I also got into these other schools. Iām so glad you took the time to help me do it,ā in the thank-you notes. Iām just hoping that they werenāt expecting/hoping for something soonerā¦</p>
<p>^me too. i have several more recs I need for scholarships, and I havenāt given anything to my GC yet. Iām sorta reluctant to ask her because I didnāt do anything for her last time, but I donāt want to seem over-the-top by giving her tons of stuff.</p>
<p>Our school counselors tell the kids that they should give a thank you gift to the teachers who write their recs and suggest that they do it just after the rec is written - late fall.<br>
We gave gift certificates.<br>
Then when the acceptances came in my d made sure to stop by their classrooms and let them know and thank them again.</p>
