<p>I recently gave a final list of colleges to the teachers I asked to send college recommendations letters. I plan to submit the last of my applications this weekend. My school has holiday breaking started this coming Friday and I would like to give these two teachers a thank you gift but I'm not sure what to get them. </p>
<p>I will definitely give each a thank-you note but what else? Are chocolates okay?</p>
<p>Depends on what your teachers like. A lot of times, lotion is a good gift to give to female teachers around this time of year because the cold weather wrecks skin.</p>
<p>Oh, that’s true!</p>
<p>Well, one is male and the other is female. The latter teaches psychology and the former, science. You actually gave me an idea on what to get the science teacher though…</p>
<p>Any other suggestions?</p>
<p>i gave my teachers boxes of 15 ferrero rocher chocolates lol</p>
<p>That’s what I was thinking. 
Any other ideas though?</p>
<p>Starbucks gift card. Teachers NEED coffee to deal with us at 7 in the morning.</p>
<p>Agreed. Starbucks is always a safe bet. I got each of my two recommenders a nice gift set of Starbucks hot chocolate and a cute mug. They were only $8 each at Walmart! Try hitting up Walmart/Target/TJ Maxx, some of those stores, they have really inexpensive gift sets, especially around this time of year.</p>
<p>don’t. you will become a teachers pet…</p>
<p>@Voberaptor, Don’t what? Give them a gift to thank them for writing me a college recommendation letter? Wouldn’t it be rude and disrespectful not to?</p>
<p>@saman42, good idea! :)</p>
<p>@CollegeChica12, Oh! That set sounds really nice!! And they could probably really use it. :)</p>
<p>Or, should I wait until I hear back from colleges?</p>
<p>I think it’s better to do it now but I know some people wait…</p>
<p>Also, I still have one of the teachers (psychology) in a class this year and I don’t want to seem like I’m trying to bribe her for a higher grade or something (even though I have an A).</p>
<p>Definitely give them gifts. Teacher’s pet? Really? Is this 6th grade?</p>
<p>It would be rude not to get them something. Don’t worry about looking like a teacher’s pet, I guarantee you no one’s going to look at it like that.</p>
<p>And don’t worry about the teacher looking at it as a bribe. It’s common courtesy to get your teacher a gift if they write you a recommendation.</p>
<p>@saman42, Okay, thank you for your encouragement! :D</p>
