How Do I Thank the Teachers Who Wrote My Recommendations?

I’ve always told my kids that the best way to thank a teacher is to handwrite a heart-felt and detailed thank you note. My son gave identical gift bags to two teachers who wrote his recommendations, a 3rd teacher who was generally helpful and supportive, a summer mentor, and his guidance counselor. The bag contained a gift card to a local coffee place, a hardcover semi-academic/humorous best seller, a small package of gourmet cookies, and a small amount of candy with the logo of his ED college choice (where he was accepted). Most importantly, each bag contained a very heartfelt note.
