GRADUATION GIFTS:

Personalized photo book:

Put together a picture timeline of their life or school life that they can take with them to college or to their next step in life.

Money:

Yes, good old-fashioned cash. Display it in a fun way or maybe set up an account for them to spend while away at college.

Jewelry/watch:

This doesn’t have to be expensive but meaningful. Graduating is a huge accomplishment and should be treated as a celebration.

Car:

Seriously, who has the money for this? Buy a new car for yourself and give your child the older used car if you have the funds for this!

Trip:

This can be a family trip, one last big hurrah before they leave the nest. Most teens are going to want a trip with just their friends so don’t get hurt if they ask for a solo trip instead.

Amazon Student Prime Membership:

I think this is the best gift of all! A gift that truly keeps on giving. Not only do you get the standard 2-day free shipping but they can also rent their textbooks and it costs half of a regular prime membership.

Letters from all the family members:

Ask all the family members to write a letter to the grad and compile them all in a book or box for them to have forever. A simple letter from treasured family can be worth more than gold.

Family cookbook:

Get together all of the recipes you made for your child’s birthday’s, holidays and celebrations. When they are far away from home and need some comfort food they can make that special pie you made them every year on their birthday.

Photography session:

Set up a photography session with their closest friends before they all leave for college or life. They will love looking back at their friends and having a perfectly captured picture of the moment.

Frame their memorabilia:

For the people who played sports, instruments or were involved in clubs or theater. Frame their tickets, balls, sports equipment and pictures in a shadow box they can display when they move away.

There are so many things to make your grad feel special. Here is a link to some cool ideas on Pinterest that may get your creative juices flowing.
