How to thank recommenders

cqas190517

I usually send a nice present or a bouquet of flowers to people who, professionally, do nice things for me. My go-to is Edible Arrangements, but they’re about $50 for a nice enough arrangement, and I have 5 recommenders soooo...yeah. This fall I’m shorter on money than usual, so how are you all thanking your recommenders? (A “nice email” is not enough in my world because it doesn’t really show that the sender had made any effort on their part). TIA

Initial email of thanks and progress updates periodically during the cycle. Once you've made your decision, a coffee mug of the chosen school along with a personal note of thanks.
