What kind of gift to I get for...?

First off...I%26#039;m a college student so I%26#039;m pretty short on cash...so I need a somewhat inexpensive gift.





I have a professor who has helped me out of lot this semester, and I want to thank him by getting him a gift.





He is a BIG plant person. Not like gardening or anything...but plants in general. He teaches Biology and loves photosynthesis and stuff. He%26#039;s in his late 40s early 50s.





I really want to get a gift that he will like....not just one that he%26#039;ll stick in a closet. Thanks!

How about a nice clay planter/pot that you fill with goodies like a gift basket? Depending on the size of the pot, you could put some candy, coffee, tea, plant food, desk supplies, whatever his %26quot;favorite%26quot; thing is if you can find out, and then wrap the entire package with colored cellophane and a bow. Simple, quick, and relatively inexpensive (depending on what you put inside and if you find the pot on sale, which it might be at this time of year.)





Then again, I think that nothing trumps the value of a thoughtful, handwritten thank-you card.





Good luck with the gift and with the rest of the semester!
Reply:You could gift him a Bamboo Good Luck Plant!!!
Reply:HI, maybe you can try the following website. There is something especially for men. Join their %26quot;get the word out%26quot; promotion, you can get voucher for your purchase.
Reply:Go to your local nursery and see what they can do for you. Make your own card, it%26#039;s more personal and creative, with out using other ppls wording. Tell him how much you appreciated all of his help and so on....


After you buy the plant of your choice that fits your budget, go to wal-mart or target and get your own bowl to plant it in and potting soil. Don%26#039;t buy that kind of stuff at the nursery because it can get expensive. Good Luck.
Reply:How about a nice botanical print... he can hang it on his wall, either in his office or at home.
Reply:Remember, most of the time teachers/professors cannot accept outside gifts from students or whoever. It is against school policy. They do it because it%26#039;s their job and they should LIKE and want to help you. It%26#039;s a nice idea but, I suggest a greeting card will be a better idea.
Reply:I suggest a book on plants. It%26#039;s very considerate but not too personal.
Reply:How about a gift certificate to a local nursery? That way he can go to the nursery and pick a plant that he wants.
