Picking a gift for a graduate teaching assistant
A graduate teaching assistant is usually a grad student doing two jobs at once: finishing their own degree while running discussion sections, grading problem sets, and answering the same question in office hours for the fifth time that week. Many are still living on a stipend and a lot of coffee, so the gifts they keep tend to be the practical, comfortable ones. A soft tee for a long day in the lab, a hoodie for a cold office with the heat set too low, or an 11 oz mug that's clearly theirs so nobody else claims it at the shared kitchen. What lands best is something that acknowledges the particular grind of TA life. Put their name on it and add their department or program on the second line, and it stops being a generic teacher shirt and becomes theirs. If you're buying for a whole cohort, one design with each person's name in the Team Shop makes a better end-of-term gift than another round of donuts.
Graduate Teaching Assistant gift questions
Can I add a department or course name to the shirt?
Yes. Many designs have a second line for a department, program, or course. Type it in and the preview updates so you can check the spacing before you order.
Is there a gift for a TA who is finishing their degree?
A hoodie or tee with their name and the year they finish is a good choice. It marks the milestone and gives them something they can wear through the last hard months of writing.
Can I order for a whole group of TAs?
Yes. In the Team Shop, choose one design, paste the list of names, and pick a size for each person. Each shirt prints with its own name.
What sizes do the graduate teaching assistant 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 teaching assistant 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.
