Thank you gifts

A thoughtful note from your daughter, and a pretty plant, a book, or some pretty stationary chosen by her would be enough. I don’t think an elaborate gift is really appropriate unless you are very good friends with the person. It might embarrass them, actually.
Remember, too, that your daughter was the primary person “instrumental” in getting that acceptance. Colleges look at the whole picture, and she probably would have made it without this wonderful letter. A thank-you is nice, but I wouldn’t go overboard.
