Graduation day is one of the most important days in the life of any young person. People shop for graduation gifts for high school and college graduates every year. Some people assume that the best gift is money, and they simply stick a check or bills into a card and sign it. While graduates always appreciate cash gifts, those students also need other items. Not everyone feels comfortable giving someone money, which is when a customized gift comes in handy. There are many different types of personalized gifts designed for graduates that provide an alternative to the traditional gift of money.
A simple way to treat someone who recently graduated is with a personalized picture frame or photo album. One type of picture frame is a wood design with the name of the person engraved on the wood and the date of her graduation. She can take the frame to college with her, and she can place her favorite graduation photo inside. Some manufacturers also make wood boxes with a personalized picture frame on the front. This is a great choice for guys who might not otherwise like picture frames. If the graduate has a celebratory party, consider looking for an autograph frame. This has a wide mat that surrounds a photo of the graduate. Guests at the party can sign around the photo and leave special notes for the person.
Those who wear jewelry might prefer a piece of personalized jewelry. If the recent graduate loves wearing necklaces, look for an engraved necklace. The front of the necklace contains her graduation date, while the back of the necklace has her name engraved on it. The only problem with this type of jewelry is that she might only wear it for a few months after she graduates. A necklace or bracelet that contains a special message from the sender is something that she can wear long after she graduates. Guys and girls alike will appreciate an engraved luggage tag or key chain because it's something they can use well into the future.
Collegiate prints are great for those who graduate from college and those who plan to attend a specific college. The prints use an image of the school such as the school football field. The student's name appears in neon lights on the scoreboard of the field. Some companies now make collegiate prints that use movie theaters or other buildings on the college campus, which might appeal to those who do not like sports. Those attending that school the following fall can proudly display the piece on a dorm room wall, and recent graduates from that college can hang the piece in their first apartment.
Desk items are great choices for those who have a job lined up after school. These pieces come in hundreds of different designs and styles, which means there is something for everyone. A paperweight with an inspirational quote and the student's name engraved on the front is functional, and it will look great on that person's desk. A mouse pad or paperweight is something that the graduate can use every day at work or at home. The best way to pick a customized gift for a recent graduate is to look at the interests and hobbies of that person. Someone who likes writing might enjoy a pen and pencil set, while someone else might prefer a personalized blanket.
