I want to give a small gift to my adviser, but I have no idea what is appropriate.

Usually I would give a few pieces of fancy chocolate candy, but she is also Jewish, so I have no idea if it is appropriate (obviously if I give her food I will make sure it is kosher). Can anyone give me some suggestions? I need to give it to her on Thursday (not too late for Hanukkah); I also want this to be within 10 dollars.

Many thanks!

This is basically how every "help me pick a gift" blog goes.

Unfortunately, yes.

Back to topic: how about a book or flowers? It doesn't always have to be food.

I'd suggest some flowers or something, those are usually nice. Maybe make her a card or something? I dunno

A gift card to Barnes and Noble or Starbucks.

Extremely standard in the academic community.

how bout a sexy pen? like a real good-feelin-in-your-hand-pen. if i was a teacher and a student gave me a pen on a day where my pen broke and i had to use my sucky backup pen, well let's just say I'd be pretty darn thrilled!

edit: i think 10 smackers puts you right within the good-feelin-in-your-hand-pen range
let me know when you buy it, and take a pic of it for us!

oooo that's a good one, too. depends on what she gets, though. if she's a good american and just gets coffee, it'll last her about 6 trips or so. but if she opts for the college girl drinks, she'll be done in 2. still a solid gesture i'd say

This reminds me of that guy who wanted to get with his professor, and was asking for ways to seduce her. Anyone remember that?
