Laura, a longtime fan of Pear Tree Greetings, shares her experiences with us as she
prepares for her oldest child to graduate from high school.
As graduation invitations are trickling in, I find myself trying to think of meaningful gifts (along with the requisite check donation) for the graduates closest to our family. Gifts from the heart often mean homemade, time-consuming and in some cases, expensive offerings, and with my own child’s graduation looming, I don’t have too much of either. But thinking creatively (and shamelessly stealing other mom’s ideas), I have a few graduation gift ideas for some special graduates:
- Personalized stationery and note cards
- School supplies (binders, lined paper, pens/pencils)
- Personalized leather portfolio/binder
- Monogrammed anything with their initials or class year (paperweights, photo frames, pencil and pen gift set, etc)
- Lounge wear (you know they’ll use it)
- Gift cards to national chain restaurants or clothing stores
- College Survival Guide for Freshman (at your local bookstore) or other books that provide life lessons
- Laptop bag
- Care package (array of candy, comfy blanket, lounge wear)
- Poetry or words of inspiration
- Gift certificate to dinner and a movie
- Laundry bag
- Alarm clock
- Charging station for iPod and phone
- USB hub
- Duffel bag or weekend get-away bag
- Personalized mouse pad
- Spa and shower set
