I am just about to finish 4 years of PhD (I hope!) and I was wondering what to get my tutor as a thank you. She has been amazing and really gone out
of her way to help. I thought a nice personal present might be some kind of driving experience as I don't think she will ever have done anything
like that before. Has anyone got any ideas or recommendations. The problem will almost certainly be money as I am a poor as a man who has spent all
his life as a student!
Thanks guys
Rupert
You should put in your profile where you are located. Will help with suggestions. I did a single seater driving experience at Silverstone which was fun but having looked at the options, i wish my missus had gone for the single seaters at Rockingham instead
Is there any chance of her getting in any trouble accepting a gift from a student, that aside a mate of mine did a 1/2 day rally experiance, said it
were good, how about a hot air balloon ride
I would find out (subtlely...) if she would really appreciatea dirving experience. My SWMBO got me a Audi TT + single seater experience at Brands for
a birthday, which I really enjoyed, but there were a couple of women there too: one was really up for it, the other was disappointed that her
boyf/hubby hadn't got a day spa ticket, and she wimped out after the Audis and never got in the single seater.
Not saying your tutor wouldn't like a driving day, just she might not...
Edit: also, I would not say anything until after you get your PhD result, just to avoid any possible "bribery" issues 
P.S. good luck

If cash is tight then a passenger ride might be good unless she is already an experienced track driver. I had a ride out at Croft some time ago in their Ginetta and it was fantastic. Didnt last long but a great experience.
How about a flying lesson? I did a Half hour one for a pressie a few years back and it was really good. was a red letter day one and about £50 i think, which i thought was quite good value.
some places do a 50 quid 'gift' experience, you get to pick what you want from a selection. friends got me one, no idea what i'll do but it includes pampering, hot air balloon or rally car drive.
