Good Graduation Gift
Graduation gifts have been a tradition since the beginning of time. Unique graduation gifts are everywhere if you know where to look. A good graduation gift has the elements of personalization and uniqueness.
You can buy your graduate something small or something expensive, but the ultimate goal of a good graduation gift is that the recipient knows just how proud you are of them for their huge accomplishment.
There is no right or wrong way to give someone a gift, and college graduation gift ideas can actually be the same as high school graduation gifts. However, the best idea is to make sure the present is tailored to the particular individual you are giving it to. Buying presents based on the graduates personality and accomplishments (not just because that’s what society has deemed the appropriate graduation gift) are much more personalized graduation gifts.
Is money better than giving a gift? That really depends on the person giving the gift, and on the graduate. If you hardly know the graduate (it’s a friend of a friends son- just for example) then money may be the appropriate gift for graduation. Just make sure you put it in a card, and write something inspiring.
If the graduate is your child, or a child of a very close friend, then you should really consider getting them something tangible. You can absolutely give money as well (and I’m sure the ex-student would appreciate it!) but there is something truly special about receiving a gift that had thought put into it.
Some gift ideas for your highschool student:
Something your student has wanted for a long time- This is the most persoanlized and unique graduation gift you can give your child. Why? Because if there is something that your graduate has wanted for a very long time and has never been able to obtain it, receiveing it for accomplishing one of the most difficult tasks (in today’s society) will mean more to him/her than buying it themselves.
Jewelry- this can serve as an heirloom when the student gets older. Do not get cubic zurconia. If you go for jewelry, make sure it is a genuine piece, but most importantly, make sure it fits the taste and style of your graduate. There is nothing worse than getting a gift in which you will never use.
Vacation- I know it’s not tangible, but a feeling of freedom is given when this gift is received. When a highschool student realizes his/her parents are giving them the freedom and responsibility they have been running after for 18 years, this will mean the world to them. They are adults now, and giving them the freedom to show you is priceless.
Car- I know this is an expensive gift, and not many people will go for it. But, to make things a little easier on the pocket book, why not just pay for the down payment? This way the student will have a set of wheels, but more importantly, they will be responsible for making the future payments. Remember, we’re going for responsibility here.

Remember back in the day when graduation was all about sitting in a stuffy auditorium while some Ben Stein clone in a robe read off a list of a few hundred (or worse, a few thousand) names? Booooooooooooring.
