Is it appropriate to send LOR writers a small gift?


Recommended Posts

I wanted to send my profs who wrote my LOR a thank you note, but I thought it would be nice to send them a small gift (each under 10$)- something that would be personal (example, colombian coffee for my Latin American history prof, or a book about medieval art for my medieval prof).

Thoughts? Is it inappropriate, or would it make them feel uncomfortable?

Hi shaboomshaboom!

 

If you search the forums, you'll see that this has been discussed quite a bit and you can get a sense of what other people have done! For myself, I'd say go for it! I sent each of my letter writers a hand-written note and a mug/pint glass from the institution I chose to attend. I've seen posts from other gradcafers who sent stuff from the PhD comics store: http://www.phdcomics.com/store/mojostore.php
