This seems like the right place to put this, right?

A good friend of mine, my co-worker of nearly 3 years, and recent college graduate has landed herself a teaching job in a public school.

Nice place, rural, not a lot of money, but filled with good people and the perfect place, in my opinion, for her to get her feet wet. I want to get her something for the occasion and I've run up against a wall.

You see, I'm not the greatest gift giver. I like to buy things for people and I do put a lot of thought into them, but most times they just falls flat. The gift that I thought was perfect is met with the polite laugh and fake smile that nice people use to hide the overwhelming feeling of 'meh' that has washed over them once they've opened my present.

Anyway, I know there are quite a few teachers here and I thought I could pick your brains a bit and see if you can help me out.

Thanks
