For the professor who’s tired of it all – these WTF notes are a great way to get the message across.
Professor Mom
There’s nothing that toughens you up like raising your kids… Except, maybe, teaching someone else’s.
Perpetual Calendar

Briefcase
What is more professor-ly than a briefcase?
The Professor is Sign
What’s the professor up to? This handy sign will get the point across.
Custom Name Plate
Make their desk a little bit more personalized with a custom name plate.
Memo Pads
You can customize these memo pads to your professor always remembers the important things. You know, like taking attendance.
It’s in the Syllabus Mug
Professors work hard at writing an informative syllabus so stop asking questions and just read the damn thing.
Wooden Chalk Holder
For those classrooms that are still using blackboards this wooden chalk holder can be customized. Practical and thoughtful!
Student Tears Stickers
For the cutthroat professor who piles on the work (necessarily so), this sticker is a quick way to show how they really feel about their students’ problems. It can be stuck to anything meaning your professor can find the optimal placement.
Professor Brain Shirt
Professors always have something on their mind… This shirt gives you some insight to what’s actually happening inside your professor’s head.
Indoor Temperature Monitor
This nifty device monitors temperature, humidity, and has a built in calendar. The best part? Now they know how comfortable their students are!
Thank You Gift Box
You can’t go wrong with a nice gift set if you’re really not sure what gift ideas to get your professor. After all, they’re working hard to help you prepare for your future – give them a little pick me up to help them relax.
Now go on, buy your professor a appreciation gift and show them you care. Who knows, maybe it will score some favouritism too. Can’t hurt.
