Need "new office-warming" gift ideers....
My favorite professor is moving into her new office in our stunning new Humanities building. I'd like to get her a little gift. I thought about a nice little plant but I'm not sure what the lighting situation is.

Thoughts?

1. What about a gift basket
of office supplies - paper, printer ink, pens, pencils, post-its, etc?

4. Peace Lilies will grow in the darkest situations.

They do well in offices because they are drought resistant, so if you forget to water them over the weekend, they won't die.

Another nice gift would be an insulated coffee thermos or cup. A new clean one is a nice way to start out a new office space.

5. People display photos in their offices -- why not a nice picture frame?
