Awesome Graduation Gifts

Mum4ever♫ commented on September 6, 2010 - Another great book is "The Places You'll Go" by Shel Silverstein. Then take the time to personalize the inside cover, which is full of roads going every which way, and write in all their accomplishmnets, places they've lived, activities they've enjoyed.

Remove My Profile commented on October 26, 2010 - I was given enough money at high school graduation to do what I really wanted, buy a good camera and study photography. Cutesy gifts are more for the person buying them and less for the recipient. The Bible is a good choice as well.

"Oh, the Places You'll Go" by Dr. Seuss! It's a great, classic book, full of truth, and you can stick a gift card inside the front cover and write in a personal note!

When I graduated high school in 2000 I got a car for keeping my nose clean, maintaining good grades, achieving a scholarship, and not causing my parents grief in my teenage years. I thought that was pretty awesome!!

I'm giving a white topaz pendant necklace to my girl. It's a gemstone that looks like a diamond, but it's lab created so no guilt about wearing a blood diamond.

We make dorm kits filled with a hot pot for cooking in the room, some mugs and dishes, a monogrammed towel, a small spice kit, ear plugs, and a few rolls of quarters.

A One Trip Tote! Gave to both of my babysitters when they graduated. The tote is a LARGE, open, beautiful carryall that they use to gather everything they need for the day & go out the door. Great for laundry & weekend trips home! www.onetriptote.com

Samantha P commented on December 30, 2010 - I have a tote like this and LOVE it, but there is more selection variety with Thirty One (home party company). There are a variety of sizes and designs.

I had cozy, fleece blankets embroidered with the name of the kids college, year of graduation and their name in their school colors for my daughter's college-bound friends.

Depends on the kid. My niece wants to "get out of town." How could I not get her a piece of luggage?

Most want a car, but I recommend something that is truly unique like maid services. Tabby Cleaning Services offers coupons and gift certificates for you and your loved ones. See http://tabbycleaning.com for more details.

It depends on who the gift is for. I think for a girl a nice piece of jewelry is always something special. For a boy who is a sports fan an autographed piece by their favorite player
