So, I recently found out that I earned the scholarship money I needed in order to study in France this summer, and obviously I'm pretty pumped about it. It was all thanks to a few professors in particular who wrote some recommendation letters for me (and have written them for me on other occasions in the past), and now I'm trying to think of a few different ideas for small gifts to say thank you for everything they've done for me. Does anyone have some suggestions?

I think that the letter thanking them for what they did for you would a wonderful present all by itself.

I once gave some of my professors products from my home state. I think it might have been marionberry jam--Oregon's known for its marionberries.

Huh--I thought that it was DC that was well known for its Marion Barry.

I was thinking that I should have added a notice to my post that I didn't want to see any references to the Washington DC Mayor Whose Name Oregonians Do Not Speak. Guess I should have.

Don't do food or candles, foods can cause people to go off diets, and many candles cause minor allergic reactions.

Oh, you were talking about Arkansas House member Marion Berry! My mistake.

Is there a reason why Oregonians in particular don't like Marion Barry? Not that you need one, I'm just curious.
