Picking a gift for a graduate fellow
A graduate fellow is usually a doctoral student who is paid to teach, run a lab, or support research while finishing a degree. The days tend to be long and irregular: grading at midnight, experiments that run over the weekend, and a stack of readings that never seems to shrink. A gift that acknowledges the grind without being sentimental tends to land well. A tee or hoodie with their title on it is something they can wear to the lab, the department coffee hour, or the conference they're presenting at. For a fellow who spends most of the day in front of a screen, a mug with their name or field gives them a small daily reminder that the work is theirs. If you know their department, a second line with the program name or the year they expect to finish can make the gift feel specific rather than generic. Graduate fellows often move between cities for postdocs and jobs, so a gift they can take with them has real staying power.
Graduate Fellow gift questions
Can I add their department or field to the design?
Many designs have a second line for a field, program or year. Type it into the text box and the preview updates so you can check the spacing before ordering.
Is graduate fellow the same as a postdoc or a teaching assistant?
Not exactly. Titles vary by university and field, so if you're unsure how they describe their role, use the job title they use on their own email signature.
What's a good gift for a graduate fellow finishing their degree?
A hoodie or tee with the title and the year they expect to finish is personal and useful. It marks the stretch of work they've been putting in.
Can I order for a whole lab or cohort at once?
Yes. The Team Shop lets you choose one design, paste a list of names, and pick a size for each person, so every shirt prints with its own name.
What sizes do the graduate fellow shirts come in?
Adult tees come in S to 3XL. Hoodies, kids tees and onesies list their own sizes on each product page.
How long does a graduate fellow gift take to arrive?
Each order is printed after you place it, in 2 to 4 business days, then ships by ground in 3 to 5 business days. The product page shows the delivery window for today's orders.
What if the print has a mistake?
If we print something different from the preview you approved, or it arrives damaged, we reprint it free.
