advisor - Is it appropriate to buy a "thank you" gift for a PhD supervisor?


I am nearing the end of my PhD and I would quite like to buy a "thank you" gift for my supervisor (although, she's the socially awkward type who I'm sure will be greatly embarrassed to receive one).


I'm just wondering whether a gift is the done thing? And if so, what sort of gift seems appropriate? I suppose a bottle of wine would be a safe choice?



Answer




After your defense, and final submission to the university; you can give the gift, with a thank you note. Right before your defense is a big no, in my opinion.
