Graduation Gift ideas?

Hello Ladies!!

I am having the hardest time coming up with an idea for a graduation gift.  It is for my friend who is graduating on the 14th with her Bachelors Degree in Human Resources.

Any suggestions would be wonderful!  Thanks in advanced!!

Re: Graduation Gift ideas?

  • Gift card for a massage?  Does she have a job lined up?  If so a business card holder engraved...  A nice frame?

    On a side note, Congrats on being done with the 1st trimester.   I cannot believe how fast the time is flying by.

  • Maybe a nice briefcase?  Will she have the sort of job where she would need one of these?  TJ Maxx always has some nice ones for a good price.
  • I like the idea of a treatment for relaxation...mani/pedi, massage (as Storm said) I think those kind of gifts that allow people to mellow out are always great---if the recipient is into that sort of thing.  

    Or if not, what about a lunch out, just the two of you, cocktails included?  I just did that with one of my besties and there is something soooo sweet about drinking a cocktail midday on a "work day" (we had the day off though!)  It sounds lame, but I think little things like that are fun.

  • Thank you all for the suggestions!!  I already planned on taking her out one day for dinner - but would also like to get her a little gift the day of.

    And Stormchasersbride - Thanks so much!  Time does seem to be flying by so fast!!  I keep you and your TTC in my thoughts and I hope you get a sticky bean soon :-)

  • DH's sister is graduating next week and we got her a few varieties of her favorite tea and a cool tea cup with an infuser from World Market. Some other ideas that we played with were tickets for a show nearby or gift certificate to a restaurant.

  • In my opinion, I think you should buy him/her a graduation gift basket with an assortment of graduation presents.

    Personally I would be the happiest person if I was given a gift basket as a graduation present.

  • You could send a basket of cookies on the day of the graduation, and then take her out to dinner later. I agree that it would be nice to have something tangible to give her on the actual day.
