writes:So, I want to give a thank you card and a small gift to my teacher. He has been very helpful during my years at the school that I will soon graduate from. I often have to visit his office for stuff so I thought I might deliver the gift there. However, I have to figure out a way to deliver the actual goods to him without offending any of the other people in his office.A couple of his officemates also used to teach me as well, but I didn't get them anything since I feel they weren't the best teachers... An alternative I thought of was perhaps trying to catch this teacher in between classes, but then he might already be rushed and it doesn't seem like proper placing.I really don't have any other ideas so any input would be useful. Additionally, if anybody could add in what the gifts price range should be in these cases that would be very appriciated (I already got a card). Thank you.

Randomizer is verified as being by the original poster of the questionTo clarify I know the stuff isn't that important and landmarking, but after working and being around the teachers in that particular office I found that the ethics in that department are not as professional as it should be.A certain teacher actually got so angry that he refused to write any recommendation letters for the juniors the next year because the seniors didn't write him any thank you notes after he wrote some recomendation letters for them. Additionally, I know the seniors were not jerks when asking for their letters and did thank him verbally the appropriate amount of times. Another teacher in that teacher's office also wrote some recommendation letters and got plenty of thank you notes which partially set the guy off.I guess what I'm trying to say is that jelousy is a bit stronger of a word than I would have liked to use, but I would like to avoid having that particular teacher go off at his unknowing students.

Sweetheart, I hate to burst your bubble but I don't think the other teachers will be bothered. If it's the end of terms they'll already be too drunk to notice you are there.
They have hundreds of students so they are not going to be THAT disappointed that You Personally have not go them something.
I am sure you are lovely but lets just say you are not going to be someone they will always remember and tell their grandchild about.
If one teacher gave you extra help etc then get them something nice and don't worry.
As for how much to spend that's up to you.
Good Luck!! xx
