Asking for professors' addresses for thank you letters?

[SleepingPillow]

I am thinking of asking professors where I can send a thank you letter along with a small gift or something for writing me recs, but I am worried if this is too much or inappropriate.

I could just send a thank you email and a gift card, but that doesn't feel as sincere or personal.

Ehh that might be weird. Just put cards in inboxes at school. You can always send mail to the department the prof works in and ATTN: Dr. Soandso

That's a good idea! Thanks

Depends how close you are with them. I’m pretty close with all my recommenders and asked for their address to send a small gift. None of them had issues with it and I’m excited to put a little something together for them once COVID situation cools down a bit.
