Ofen that not, it is their job to draft down a recommendation letter for you especially coaches and teachers; At the same time, many feel it’s unnecessary to get your recommender a gift, and I’m still of the opinion that a little gift wouldn’t hurt.
Before picking any of these thank you gifts for recommenders listed here, confirm with your school if gifting teachers/lecturers/doctors is allowed, as most schools could see this as a bribe.
Also, it is advisable to go for gifts below $20. Others suggest you give the gift even before approval, and others say you should give after. The underlying tone has always been the fear of “quid pro quo”. Please put a bit of thought into this, but a little gift won’t hurt anyone, as I said earlier.
