A follow up from my older asklemmy post, saying goodbye to a teacher who helped me a lot through my stuff, was thinking maybe chocolate, but one of the dudes said that it’s not a very good idea, I was thinking maybe a perfume/cologne? What do you guys suggest? She is in probably in her early 20s if it helps, and I am in senior high, damn this is getting weirder and weirder, I just want to run away lol

As a teacher, just a letter or card saying how they impacted you is enough.

    Fellow teacher here, I concur. I've never gotten a physical gift from a student, and I don't think I'd be comfortable with it.

    A card would be weird too, but better by several powers of magnitude than an actual gift. And perfume? WTF my dude?

    Not a teacher (but I work with people that sometimes want to give me gifts when we say goodbye) and I agree, card or a letter is great!

    Either that or something I can share with my colleagues (chocolate, assorted sweets).
