Gifts

Your graduate worked hard for 4 years, so finding the perfect gift is really important. Consider what the recipient will be doing when school ends. Will he or she be continuing on to graduate school? Will he or she be moving into a new apartment? If so, perhaps a practical gift such as a new briefcase, a giftcard for household items, or a personalized throw would be appreciated. If you have a close relationship with the graduate you may want to get something sentimental that allows the recipient to think of you whenever he or she looks at the item. Whatever you choose, make sure to keep the recipient’s personal likes (and dislikes) in mind!
