I recently started a new job as a teacher. Long story short, I have the opportunity to earn college credit and the school will reimburse me for the tuition, but I have to pay up front. I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, but I hit a financial rough spot. Explaining this situation to a fellow teacher that I barely knew, he cut me a check on the spot for the fees and told me to pay him back whenever it was convenient. I was floored, because I wasn't asking him to loan me money, I was just venting.

Basically, I am paying him back this Friday and I would like to include an extra small gift as a thank you. It can't be too expensive (I'm still broke!) and I don't want it to be too personal, since we are both single and close in age and I don't want him to get the wrong impression. I've thought about maybe cooking something (cookies, brownies, etc) or taking him out for lunch on me during one of the teacher inservices, but I feel like those are both too personal. Anyone have any suggestions?
