Gift/Thank you card for LOR Writer Forum

When should you thank them? Only after acceptances?

I was wondering this as well. Once the letters are sent out? Before? After they agree to do it?

In terms of gifts, I have heard a lot of people say they got their recommenders bottles of wine. Think I'll go that direction.

I think a small backpack would be nice. Giftcard can be wrong...
