<human>: First and foremost, I am a girl.  So I hope that answers that.

I'm about to finish student teaching, and I have been told by my supervisor (the professor appointed by the university to observe and grade me) that I need to purchase a thank you gift for my mentor teacher (the in-class teacher who has been there for me every day, showing me the ropes).

Students use tissues at an alarming rate, and no matter how many times we ask, the administration refuses to buy tissues, saying this is an expense the teachers must take on themselves.  "If you can't afford tissues," they say, "just apologize to the students and let them suffer through it without."

For my thank you gift to my mentor, I want to buy as many boxes of tissues as possible, sneak into school early on my last day, and build a giant pyramid out of them.

Things to consider:

* My last day is on December 9th, so if I order them online, I need to order them from somewhere that can deliver them by then.

* I am kind of on a budget.  Sorry.  Suggestions that involve inexpensive routes are best.

* I don't need these to be super luxurious, aloe-infused tissues.  They can be simple and generic.

Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: Need to buy as many boxes of tissues as possible by December 9th.  I am on a limited budget.  Any suggestions on where to find cheap tissues sold in bulk would be much appreciated.
