Whenever a family member or family friend graduates from either high school or college, it can be difficult for those giving gifts to decide what the graduate will want or need. Currently well-liked gift ideas include photo gifts or more specifically, personalized photo gifts. Gift cards are also just about always a good idea, as is money. And, another recently popular present for someone graduating from high school or college is monogrammed sheets or towels. The list below is a more detailed list of these gift choices and some of the positives and negatives for each one.
1. Giving a graduate a personal collection of pictures you have kept over the years is a pretty special personal gift. It shows the person for whom the gift is meant how much you appreciate your time over the years with him/her. You can decorate the pictures however you think is best and it is something that the graduate can keep for the rest of his/her life. It is also one of the less expensive gift choices. One of the issues that could arise with this present is that, if you choose to do it yourself, this can be a very time-consuming project; however, you can hire a company to help you decorate the album or pictures themselves.
2. Money is a present that every student celebrating a lifetime achievement needs and wants to have. It is not as personal as a collection of pictures, but it is a present that will most certainly be used. It can also be up to you how much you think an appropriate amount is for the relative or friend. Money is a relatively simple gift and it is something you know the graduate will appreciate. One disadvantage may be that if you give a check, you will not be positive about when the graduate will cash it, so you might have to even wait a few months before the check is cashed.
3. Monogrammed towels or sheets are also a wise choice for a present. One good things about them is that both are personal. It is an excellent purchase for both college and high school graduates because high school kids going to college usually need towels and college graduates usually need new sheets for a new apartment or new mattress that will most likely be bought. One of the negatives is that sheets and towels can become expensive with the monogramming.
4. Finally, gift cards are a classic gift for people of all ages and accomplishments. If you purchase a gift card for a graduate, you will probably want to stick with shops that have a variety of items, not just one particular, specialty store. This is a less personal present, but again, like with the money, just about every college or high school graduate will like to have a gift card.
It is important to keep in mind that most graduates will appreciate any gifts they receive. All of the gifts listed are classic ideas that very many graduates need and/or want. You have the ability to buy whatever you think is best for your relative or family friend. It is a wise choice to get a gift receipt with any gift, just in case, though.
