Graduation Gift Ideas

by

Lately, I’ve had lots of requests for ideas for graduation gifts. You can always personalize something for someone, but there are two gifts that always seem to have impact. Words of wisdom and hard earned cash.

For grads of any age, I love these sweet picture books that espouse words of encouragement. We gave the above book to our 10 year old and each of us who attended his “graduation” from lower school wrote a note inside. It’s filled with quotes from Confucius and Plato to Wayne Gretzky and Eleanor Roosevelt. The type of things that you can turn to whenever you need a little boost.

For those headed to college, the practical and the inspiring.
To make this gift more special, hand write a note and include your favorite quote, then laminate it as a bookmark to be placed inside the book. Punch a hole in the top and tie with a ribbon.
When it comes to giving money, I love these creative ideas, that show you put some thought into the delivery. Make a box of “sweets” from a chocolate box, folding the money in various shapes.

Or, if you will be with the graduate, confetti balloons stuffed with rolls of bills will surely put a smile on their face. They may not always remember who gave them $ but they’ll always remember who gave them confetti filled balloons!

Leave it to Hallmark to have the perfect words to write in a graduation card. You can see that article here.
As the graduation announcements begin to flow in, I am taken back to when I graduated from high school and the many, many gifts and letters that I received…many times from people who I didn’t really know but who knew me. I think of them as I pay it forward.
Hats off to the class of 2015…it’s your time to soar!
