No matter the age or degree of your graduate, forego the traditional card with cash and give something meaningful. Here are a few great ideas to treat the grad in a personal, memorable way. Whether you're budget is zero dollars or a few hundred, these ideas will leave a lasting impact.
1. Write a letter. Graduates are usually feeling sentimental at graduation time. Share your reflections in a letter. What observations can you share about their progress? What is your advice for the future? Take this moment to say what you want to say. Choose nice paper and a quality pen because this is a keepsake.
2. Create a
time capsule kit. Help your grad save this exciting moment in time in a special way. An airtight oversized jar is a perfect time capsule. Add some of your own elements (photos of the grad, mementos, etc.) or let them fill it with their friends.
3. Share a favorite children's book. The wisdom in children's books is often appropriate for a graduate headed into an exciting new future. One of my favorites is
How to Behave and Why. Great life advice for anyone of any age.
4. Send a
fresh delivery. When you can't be there in person, a thoughtful gift like our
Graduation Ribbon Box can be a good substitute. Our bite-sized treats and a personal note will be a sweet spot in the day. I love the idea of having it delivered the night before with a note about savoring the sweet moments.
5. Say it on a
Big Cookie Cake. With up to 20 characters, you can create a funny, sweet, or encouraging message on one of our
Big Cookie Cakes. Buy one locally or have it delivered.
6. Remind them where they came from. If your grad is headed off to a new place, one of these
state pendant necklaces is a great way to keep home close to their heart.
7. Put a ring on it. I'm in love with these
old-fashioned signet rings. Your grad's initials along with a cap and gown make them look so grown up!
8. Watch the time. A
nice watch with a personal inscription is a timeless gift. (Pun intended, wink, wink.)
