<p>A teacher who wrote a recommendation letter for me now teaches at another school. I want to get him something to thank him for writing my letter! What would be an appropriate gift to send his way? Thanks. I was thinking a box of chocolates, but I'm not sure if that's too girly lol?</p>
<p>Ha, maybe a mug with a gift certificate to something like starbucks?</p>
<p>I'm giving all of my teachers pastries from the nicest local bakery and a short, handwritten thank you note with specific comments about their classes. I think edible gifts are the standard around here, and usually sweets. I know one girl very sweet girl who gave a teacher a pineapple.
A box of chocolates would probably be fine.</p>
<p>if i was friends with the teacher than i would just give him a hug and if its proffesional than a thank you card</p>
<p>Personalized thank you card and a little gift (optional) like chocolate or mug or gift card (<10 dollars). That's what I would do anyway...</p>
<p>Thanks a lot guys! Yeah I'd give him a hug but he works at another school now and it's pretty far away lol. Great ideas!!</p>

<p>Wait, we have to gift them a thank you gift?!?</p>
<p>You don't "have" to, but it's definitely a polite thing to do.</p>
<p>I'm gonna bring in boxes of chocolates and thank-you notes on the last day of school. It feels really awkward to try to do it right now while I still see them every day.</p>
<p>^^ yeah, I'm not giving my teachers their stuff until I find out which school I'm going. It's just to awkward to pop in randomly every time something happens.</p>
<p>nothing. my teacher wrote me something really generic..... i was really ****ed off about it.</p>
<p>Ha- I'm not even allowed to see mine! I can only hope they wrote good things lol</p>
<p>I didn't see mine, either, but I got a letter from one of the admission officers who said that they'd been "glowing."</p>
<p>I went to both my teachers one-on-one and I said thank you for writing my recommendation and stuff, but I didn't really get them anything. I kind of want to though. And in the weeks before I found out I told myself I would get some flowers or something to give to Guidance because they've done so much in helping me. Then I didn't. But I really did appreciate them and my teachers.. so I think I'll do what goldenrationphi said and bring in stuff on the last day of school. It seems like that'd be good closure for high school.</p>
<p>My mom really overdid it with gift cards to nordstrom's, and I wrote each teacher/counselor a card. Most people did anywhere from 5-50$, and most gifts included a card and a giftcard, mug, or sweets.</p>
<p>a thank you card/note/letter with a nice personal message would be nice.</p>
<p>i think what's even nicer is for a teacher to also receive a letter/email (and maybe a college souvenir like a t-shirt or mug) from the recommendee once they're already in college.</p>
