-I am graduating in 2 weeks!

-A professor I have had for 3 classes over 2 years has helped me both in and out of class

-She helped me in my school work a TON, always having patience with me when I didn't understand something, and spending time talking about the material with me

-Showed genuine concern/care/sympathy when I was going through some personal problems both this year and last year

-Letters of recc, references etc

-Basically my favorite educator ever; put up with a lot of my crap; I want to try and keep in touch with her after I graduate etc




Anyways, I have never given a prof/teacher a gift, but I'd like to do so to show my appreciation.

Any ideas? I am just thinking of a card and an Olive Garden gift card or some chit, but that isn't very thoughtful.

Not sure a gift is appropriate. However a thank you, be it a card or a letter might be more suitable.

A card and gift card is very thoughtful. Congrats on graduation!

A book and a card would be appropriate, I think.

A large hip flask, and a note saying, "In case you ever have another student like me."

I think a nice card expressing your gratitude and a gift card to Olive Garden is a very thoughtful gift. Your instincts are good on this one.

As an old hag who is going to hit 40 in a couple of years, LOL I would say a gift of a nubile, young male body would be the perfect present. But then I would get flamed...
