(Newswire.net — November 2, 2017) — Your son/daughter’s graduation is one of the biggest moments of their young life. If you’re finding it difficult to find the perfect graduation gift to commemorate their academic achievements, the following 5 options, all within different price ranges, may help.
Bracelet and Charm
A bracelet and charm is the perfect gift for someone who is about to embark on a new chapter of life. The concept is simple: you buy a bracelet and charm that signifies the moment, and then during your son/daughter’s life, they can build upon it with new charms. In the end, the bracelet will not only be unique, but will also tell a story. If not a charm, there are thousands of unique jewelry pieces for every occasion that also reflect personality traits, hobbies, travels and special occasions (such as graduations).
Traveler Backpack
In the modern world it’s extremely common for new graduates to pack their bags and take a gap year. A gift voucher for a backpacking store or something associated with traveling can be an excellent idea if travels are on the horizon. Other options could include plane tickets, rail/bus passes, or even a Visa to visit a specific country.
Video or Photo Montage
Graduating isn’t only an educational achievement, it signifies a life-changing phase of life, a move into the real world. Making your own movie montage of old home videos, or a collage of pictures from childhood to adulthood – or even just a nice photo album – will really summarize the end of an era, along with providing some nostalgic entertainment for the special day!
Hamper
Life after graduation can move very quickly, and many new graduates find themselves feeling that urge to move out and stand on their own two feet. A hamper may not seem like the most riveting gift, but you can make it both luxurious and functional at the same time, perhaps with a few sentimental treats, such as your son/daughter’s favorite childhood sweets, for good measure.
Relaxing Spa Treatment
Teenagehood isn’t easy and after years in school your son/daughter might need a little time to relax. To give them a treat they’ve never experienced before, consider booking them in for a nice relaxing massage or day at the spa. If that’s too expensive, making a gift box filled with bath bombs, oils, candles and scrubs will suffice.
Experience Day
An experience will provide a memory for life. Don’t worry, it doesn’t need to be something expensive, like a holiday. A well-meaning day to spend with your son/daughter is perfect: a brewery tour, wine and cheese tasting, a cooking class, private surfing lesson, even just a day trip to somewhere that you both have fond memories of.
Unlike Christmas and birthday gifts, which tend to be more on the fun or functional side, the most important thing to remember when buying a graduation gift is that it should have sentimental value. Make it personal and think about what your son/daughter would appreciate from you as a parent – it really is the thought that counts!
