Memo Pads
You can customize these memo pads to your professor always knows how amazing they are, even when jotting down something trivial.
Itโs in the Syllabus Poster
Professors work hard at writing an informative syllabus so stop asking questions and just read the damn thing.

For those classrooms that are still using blackboards this wooden chalk holder can be customized. Practical and thoughtful!
Plagiarists Die Alone Sticker
The arch nemesis of any academic professional, the plagiarist must be stopped at all costs. Hopefully this sticker will help.
Dad Shirt
Sometimes parents have to wear a few different hats but this one shows where his priorities lie.

The struggle is real.
Now go on, buy your professor a appreciation gift and show them you care. Who knows, maybe it will score some favouritism too. Canโt hurt.
