subject: How To Put Together A Personalized Gift When Invited To A Graduation Party For Someone Going To Coll [print this page] June is the hectic time for graduations in America. There seem to be more graduations now than ever before with some schools celebrating graduating preschool, elementary school and even middle school now. The large graduations, however, are still the ones from high school and college. High school graduation is such an important milestone because it marks that your son or daughter is ready to head into the world whether it is continued education or the workforce on their own after living with you since birth. The majority of seniors that are graduating high school have parties to celebrate and the big question is always what type of gift to get for the graduate. This will look outside the box and try to be more creative with those gifts such as getting drafting tables and drafting chairs for your child who is headed to art school.
A great suggestion is to do something that is related to what the graduating senior wants to study in college if they are certain about that already. Try to create a present that is related to that area of study, for example, if the person is going to art or design school think about getting them a basket full of art supplies or a gift card to an art store in the location of the college they will be attending.
Another great tip would be to get a special monogrammed briefcase for the student who is planning on studying business at their university. Find one that fits their personal style, whether it is more formal and conservative or more casual and laid back. This is a wonderful gift that they can use when they get an internship or interview for their first jobs following college graduation. If the student plans to study accounting, you can put together a gift bag with an assortment of items such as high end calculator and anything related to numbers for a clever present.
For the high school graduate that is wanting to study marine biology, do a gift that is all marine animal related or items that have to do with the ocean. Maybe a membership to the local aquarium along with pretty stationary that has an aquatic theme is a great gift. Another thoughtful idea is to find the college or university that the student is heading and buy an item from their campus store website. This could be anything from glassware with the school name on it to a beautiful blanket or even a sweatshirt to show your support their choice of going to that school and are thrilled for them.
The more personalized your gift is for the new high school graduate, the more meaningful it will be. They will get many checks and gift cards but the presents that involve some effort in understanding who they are and what they are interested in will be noticed and be more appreciated and certainly remembered. Take some time to plan for this gift to make it truly special. You will be the best gift giver of the graduation celebration.
