Saying thank you

I emailed the ones that were in a different city and said it in person to those who were present. Before I left for the PhD (i.e. at the end of the summer, when I defended my MSc), I gave small gifts and cards to everyone who helped me get into the PhD program (by writing letters and/or advice, mentorship etc.)

I gave books that I thought they'd appreciate along w/ thank you card or note to go w/ it. I'm in an English department, so I figured they'd appreciate nerding out over common interests and it was something nice I could do that didn't break the bank. I am proud of my idea. 2 of my 3 recommenders have acknowledged that they received it (I used campus mail) and I'd say their reactions were worth the cost of an Amazon Prime order. Weirdly, though, one - who already thanked me for my thank you - has to to submit my letter, and it has me on the brink of absolutely losing my shit!
