In my situation, I am very close to both of the teachers who wrote my recommendations. If and when I start at UT Austin in the fall, I fully plan to send them Longhorn memorabilia (nothing super expensive) and note thanking them for the time and effort they put in to the recommendation. It really depends on your situation and relationships with your teachers/guidance counselor. I would personally stay away from money and gift cards, as it is more like paying them off.
