The question of what can be presented to the supervisor is most often worried about those who are going to defend their diploma or have already defended their defense, that is, the student fraternity. Of course, the best and most pleasant gift for any teacher is the statute of victory and achievements of his wards. However, a material present presented from a pure heart will not be superfluous.
To give or not? Ethical side of the issue
At the initial stage, it is best to find out if your teacher is willing to receive any gifts. In this case, we are not even talking about the representatives of the "old guard", who can consider any presentations literally a crime and can react very negatively to them. Some young teachers are also reluctant to accept gifts for fear of being judged by their peers or being caught in bribery.
A woman leader can be presented with jewelry made of natural stones. They are not as expensive as gold items and look nobler than plastic jewelry.
You should not forget about your attitude to the supervisor. Perhaps he not only did not make any effort to help you, but he also hindered good preparation or infringed on you. But there is another option, when a gift to the teacher is the best way to express your sincere gratitude, warm attitude and admiration to him. It is in this case that the present will be really appropriate.
A gift to the leader: the financial side of the issue
Often the financial side of the issue is also relevant, especially for students. Not everyone can afford to give an expensive gift to a supervisor.
That is why it is advisable to discuss the option to "chip in" for a certain amount of money by all the students of this teacher. This method will give an excellent opportunity, for relatively little money for everyone, to choose a beautiful and valuable gift that will be remembered by the teacher for a lifetime.
Choosing a gift depending on the age of the leader
Also, don't lose sight of your teacher's age. After all, you must agree that a woman leader of advanced years will be more delighted with a gorgeous portfolio or picture than with a subscription to a Balinese or Thai massage.
The same is the case with young male leaders who can be presented with something of cutting edge technology, rather than a set of tobacco with a smoking pipe.
Classification of gifts to the supervisor
Presentations suitable for presentation to the diploma supervisor can be roughly divided into several different types:
- serious;
- personal;
- banal;
- cool.
Serious gifts to the supervisor include interior items, paintings and other works of art, equipment, gold products, etc. Personal presents can be as follows: ordering a table in a restaurant, a subscription to a beauty salon, cosmetics, payment for the services of a massage therapist.
Ideally, a gift for a supervisor should be selected taking into account not only his age and gender, but also his taste. Such a present will be the most pleasant for him.
Banal gifts are usually given either with complete indifference to their teacher or in the absence of funds or imagination. These kinds of presentations include: wine, flowers, cognac, postcards and sweets.
Cool gifts. Modern technologies and materials make it possible to create original and unusual gifts for the memory of the scientific leader, which will remain in his memory for a long time. For example, you can present the teacher with a composition of handmade sweets, a comic laudatory ode, order a parade of balloons, involve him in a draw on TV, and much more. However, at the same time, you need to be sure that the person will perceive it correctly and does not expect a monetary presentation or its equivalent from you.
It may seem that choosing a gift from all kinds of abundance is very simple. However, in this matter one should adhere to delicacy and a good understanding of the boundaries of the appropriate and acceptable. After all, a person who has spent not only his time on you, but also a part of himself, can not only be very pleased, but also upset with an incorrectly chosen gift or its absence.
