wanted to get my adviser a lil something to thank him for caring more than he had to. since he's in cals i was thinking maybe like a fruit basket but now i'm considering something he'd keep around and use. looking to spend around $40 any ideas?

or
1. go to seagrove pottery in cameron village,
2. pick out a nice (masculine coloured) bowl with a lid
3. get some candy (m&ms or hot tamales) to put inside
4. thoughtful gift for ~$40

I would choose a gift over a professor any day of the week

2/21/2008 2:18:52 PM

A few years ago several classicists, people who study ancient greek/roman history/language/mythology etc, at ncsu pitched in to get a nice plaque. It was as a thank you for holding so many independent studies at very early hours that she was not paid for. I think it either had some quote on there or something they wrote up in latin or greek.




I had her for GRK 310 (mythology) and she was a wonderful professor.

All this to say, perhaps instead of a generic gift, you should get something specifically related to your advisor's field of study.

Plant seems like a good idea. If it isn't your thing, perhaps a nice leather ledger type notebook thing. I can't think of what the official name is but it is almost like a Trapper Keeper, but more professional.

2/21/2008 9:01:05 PM

2/21/2008 9:07:57 PM

Is this a poll or something?

2/21/2008 11:17:33 PM

I would choose the gift every time. Unless the professor is Flick

2/21/2008 11:43:11 PM
