What do you want for graduation?

graduate.jpgFriends and Newman had their graduations Saturday, Wichita State University’s graduation is this week, and high school ceremonies are underway, as well.

Money is a common gift request from grads, especially high school students headed to college. Need other ideas? Here are a few:

  • Jewelry
  • Frames (for graduation photos)
  • Laptop bag
  • Luggage
  • Novelty luggage tag

One creative gift I received when I graduated from high school was an oversized bath towel. In college, I used it in the shower and as a durable (and easy-to-wash) picnic blanket. Eleven years later, I’ve used it to towel off my two golden retrievers after their bath.

Do you have any gift ideas for the grad?

    Too funny, Lori. I got the same gift for high school graduation, and I’m still using it to towel myself off.

    What do I want for graduation? How about a person who can add 2 plus 2 and not use a calculator?

    My niece told me last year that the best gift that she got for her high school graduation was my gift to her: a membership to AAA. Her mom loved it because she had to worry less about the old beater she was driving and she liked it because she got discounted movie tickets and stuff!
