There are many occasions outside of Rosh Hashanah, Passover, Hanukkah that you may want to give your Rabbi (or a Rabbi you know) a gift even though there is no expectation to do so.
You may be wondering what would be an appropriate gift for a Rabbi, that the Rabbi would enjoy and appreciate and may even be practical? Bearing in mind your gift will not be the only one this Rabbi will receive you need to give this some careful thought.

This Yiddish insults mug would make a funny gift for your Rabbi if you know he or she has a good sense of humor! Available from Amazon.
It is a large mug so great for using as a pen and pencil storage on the desk.
This funny Oy Vey mug allows you to add personalized text so you can add a funny quote or greeting for your Rabbi to make this a unique gift he can enjoy.
This is not an obvious choice. Rabbi's have many commitments and time is something they need to track very carefully. A personalized 'themed' clock is an unusual, yet practical gift which also can have a wonderful commemorative value. Especially after you add the relevant text. Here are some Rabbi commemorative clocks that your Rabbi can hang in the office, at home or other place they use regularly as desired.
Gift baskets are a great choice as you can tailor them and buy small items to complete it. Ensure you include only Kosher food and wine. Alternatively our Rabbi gift basket can be interest or hobby themed.
Should I buy Judaica as a gift for a Rabbi?
Rabbi are traditionally bought Judaica as gifts. Judaica are literary or historical materials relating to Jews or Judaism. Judaica for Rabbi gifts might include religious books, artworks, candlesticks, ties with specific religious themes, kippot, tallitot, seder plates, etc. There will be a lot of gifts that look the same, serve the same function, and are sadly surplus to requirement. Judaica that can't be found a nice spot to be displayed might end up in boxes in the spare room. You do not want this to be the destination for your rabbi gift!
