Many, many good ideas in this thread:

My preceptor eats EXACTLY the same thing every day for her meal, so I think I'm going to buy her a stack of Lean Cuisines and give her some coupons for the yogurt she eats (since my hubby eats the same stuff by the gallon, and we have a ton of hard-to-find coupons for them). I'll also include a hand-written thank you card. I think the Lean Cuisines will give her a good laugh.
Definitely a handwritten thank you card of some sort for sure. Beyond that, it's whatever you know they would appreciate. In the past, I have pulled together with other clinical group members to combine money and get nice gifts. We have done a bouquet of orchids (her favorite flowers), a gift card to her favorite restaurant, a plant (that lady was just hard to buy for, though, haha), and the current instructor is getting a nice lunch bag filled with her favorite snacks.

I know there are a few posts already about the topic, but I am wondering if any students had any ideas to share.
I am finishing up my preceptorship this week and want to get a little something for my preceptor. She has been amazing, wrote me an awesome recommendation letter, and just got into CRNA school! She's also getting married next year, so I'd just like to say congratulations and thank you.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
