Great Gifts for the Graduate

Whether it be high school, college, or even traffic school your favorite graduate deserves a unique gift to commemorate their accomplishments. Forget about the traditional pen or luggage and find something more unusual, unique and personalized. Check out your options below; there are many that are just so out-of-the-ordinary.

Deeds to the United States ? Where is your graduate going to conquer the world?New York, California, Massachusetts? Help him own his dream with a legal Deed to a one square inch parcel of land in any individual state. Deeds are available for all 50 states too. The individually numbered deed will be inscribed with his name and you can have it framed or mounted on a plaque. What could be a more unique gift?

Photo Stamps ? Just in case your graduate is going off to start his or her career in another town or city, they?ll sure to want to see photos of everyone who?s wishing them well. Indulge them with USPS Photo Stamps of friends, family and just of the old gang and then, by writing them, it?ll be a doubly-good surprise. By uploading photos from your computer (or his) you can create personalized stamps (real US Postage) and make all his mail unique. Every recipient will certainly know how much he misses them.

Presents for Baseball Lovers - Does your graduate remember the days when the Dodgers called Brooklyn home? Reminisce about America?s pastime with a Ballpark Pen made of the wooden seats from his favorite ballpark?even some that have been razed. You can also give him a Ballpark baseball items including a corkscrew or bottle opener.

One Share of Stock ? What does your favorite student love and remember from growing up? His Campbell Tomato soup for lunch? Tootsie Rolls? His Apple Computer?, Coca-Cola? If he does love Coke, bet he doesn?t own Coca-Cola stock. But he could! The company called OneShare.com sells, well, duh, one share of stock in various popular companies. You get a fancy legal stock certificate to hang on his wall and the company?s annual report that, along with all the company?s financial info. One share may not make him rich, although he will receive corporate declared dividends and have voting rights, but I bet he?ll love it. Check out all the companies.

Photo Rubik?s Cube?Remember all the fun times at the alma mater with the Photo Rubik?s Cube. Personalize a cube with six photos of graduation day, classmates, even the school mascot. Each side is 2.25? square, the same size as the original cube of the 80?s. It?s the perfect album for a new dorm room, workplace cubicle, or starter apartment.

Gift of the Month?He may spend lots of time in the school library, science lab, or local Starbucks but chances are one place he doesn?t know his way around is the kitchen. Don?t let your new graduate survive on Chinese delivery and cold pizza. Sign him up to enjoy three, six, nine or twelve months of his favorite foods with the Gift of the Month Club. There are 21 clubs to choose from including dessert, salsa, even a dinner and a movie club that includes a pasta/sauce dinner, gourmet popcorn and a Blockbuster gift card. There are also wine and beer clubs for graduates over 21.

Name a Star - What could be more fitting for a rising star than?a star! Choose an out of the world gift with her own personal star registered with the Universal Star Catalogs Database. He?ll receive a certificate and the stellar coordinates so, with the help of a telescope, he can gaze upon his very own star.

Top Ten Graduation Gifts from Parents

Graduation - whether from high school college, or graduate school - is an enormous accomplishment. It means that the graduate worked hard, managed their time, and was focused enough to complete the required courses. It is an end to one portion of life and the beginning of another - an exciting, yet scary transition.Parents know that they need to get their child a graduation gift, but where to start? Should parents buy the most extravagant present they can think of, or should the gift be personal and full of meaning? The answers to those questions vary largely depending on the individual in mind. What would your child want, and what would mean most to them?This article lists the top ten graduate gifts from parents to children. Let these ideas provide a jumping-off point for creative juices to flow. The most important thing is that you put thought and love into a graduation gift; your child will know that you put thought and energy into acquiring the gift.The first three gift ideas are expensive, but not at all expected. Some parents choose to give a pricey gift at graduation, while for others, it's a much smaller affair.1. CarIf you didn't allow your child to have a vehicle during high school, graduation is a good place to start. Or maybe your child's '90 Buick just isn't cutting it after four years in college, and you want to provide an upgrade. Whatever the reason, a car is a very exciting gift, and should be given serious thought. Is your child (whether high school or college graduate) capable of assuming the responsibility of a car? Are they level-headed enough to perform regular oil changes and tire rotations? If the answer is yes, and a car is within your budget, then this is a wonderful gift idea.2. VacationSome students dream of touring Europe after graduation, while others have their feet firmly planted in their hometown. A summer vacation is a great way to allow your graduate to see the world, think hard about their future, and begin to appreciate life beyond the four walls of high school. You might also consider making it not a vacation, but a summer abroad. For graduation, offer to send your graduate to Europe or New Zealand for the first semester of their sophomore year. It isn't recommended for the freshman year, but they can wait twelve months to travel, don't you think?

3. ComputerColleges are growing increasingly high-tech, and it's almost impossible for a student to get along without a computer. If you have one at home that you plan to send with your graduate, that's fine. But if you need ideas for a graduation present, a computer is a great start. Be sure to shop around and find the best model for a student. A laptop might be better than a desktop computer, but either way, it should be as compact as possible. The computer will probably be used quite a bit, so nothing fancy is needed. 4. BooksIt's entirely possible that your graduate is tired of the printed page, but if you have a reader on your hands, books are a very personal gift. Perhaps you can find a first edition of their favorite novel in hardcover, or a gift set containing books by their favorite author. My mother gave me an antique copy of To Kill A Mockingbird for my high school graduation, and it sits proudly on a shelf in my living room to this day. If your graduate is religious, a fancy bible with a leather cover also makes a classy gift.5. Gift BasketThis doesn't have to be one of those gourmet baskets filled with sausage and cheese. Perhaps you could put together a gift basket filled with notebooks, paper, highlighters, pens, diskettes, post-its and book covers. Include a prepaid phone card so that he or she can always call home, or stationery and stamps so that they can write home every so often.6. JewelryIf you have an antique heirloom that you want to pass down, graduation is an excellent time to do it. You might pick out a nice pair of earrings for a girl, or a nice watch for a boy. Jewelry boxes also make beautiful gifts, or a tie rack for your son.7. ScrapbookScrapbooks and photo albums are personal, cry-worthy gifts for your children. Compile pictures, report cards, certificates of achievement and other memorabilia and put them all into a bound book for your child to carry with them. Write notes and memories next to each page so that your child can remember days long past.8. Gift CertificatesAlthough these sometimes seem impersonal, I prefer them to money. Purchase a gift certificate at your graduate's favorite store, or even multiple stores. You could buy movies passes to go along with it. Put the certificate(s) in an envelope with a touching card, and you have a beautiful graduation gift.9. AlcoholIf you have a college graduate who enjoys liquor, put together a basket of wines, whiskeys, or cognacs and give it as a graduation gift. When graduates are moving beyond college and into the real world, they are adults who might need a drink after a long, hard day at work.10. ArtworkFor both college-bound students and college graduates, artwork can make a dorm room or a first apartment feel like home. Purchase several prints at an art store or even a special painting to hang in their room. By Kay Reynolds

Top 5 Gift Certificates to Give to High School Graduates on Their Way to College

This year instead of giving gifts of cash to any high school graduate consider giving them a gift card; there are many advantages to giving a gift card instead. The most important one is that it increases the chances of them using it for something useful like buying supplies for their upcoming freshmen year in college; of course though that's only if you give them the "right" gift card. I have made a list of the top 5 gift cards most wanted by incoming college freshmen this year, here they are: 1) Bed Bath and BeyondFinishing high school and moving onto a college dorm room means buying new bedroom things, bathroom things, and even kitchen wear sometimes. There are many things found at this store that will be needed at a reasonable price during these coming months. For example: new comforters, pillows, rugs, and many more things will most likely be on sale. Giving a high school graduate a $20 or $25 gift card from this store will provide them with the ability to buy something nice for their new home away from home, and it will fill them with joy at the thought of you thinking about this for them. This is a great choice of gift card; especially for those students who plan on moving away to college dorms. 2) Wal-MartThis is the best card to give! Yes, Wal-Mart will be the high school graduates best friend some time soon after the graduation celebration. It will be the place where they buy almost everything for their new journey onto college. They will need storage supplies, school supplies, kitchen wear, plus many more things that they never thought they'd need to buy. Wal-Mart is the store that they will find themselves at most and gift cards will be very helpful to students who will for sure be on a budget. It can help with groceries even; so consider this gift card the most.

3) Amazon.comThis is the place to go for books these days, therefore a gift-card from Amazon is perfect if you know that the new graduate will be paying for his or her own books this semester. Even if they won't be paying for their own books, giving a gift card from this store will allow them to buy a fun book that they'll read during time when they need to relax in between tests and research papers at college. Amazon is great for used textbooks, new text-books, stationeries, and many more school related things so let your beloved graduate know that the cost of books will not be huge this semester with a gift card from Amazon. 4) I-TunesWe all know how much high school graduates are into music. That's basically all they will use for relaxation while away at college. They all have Ipod's now, MP3 players and some just like to listen to music on their computers. I-Tunes is a store filled with not just music from every artist out there but they also have tv shows, movies, and books that can be bought. An I-Tunes gift card will allow your teen to stop illegally downloading and start supporting their favorite artists while at the same time getting quality products which can then be transported to their portable devices. 5) Best BuyElectronics are something that will definitely be needed during the college years. Laptops, TV sets, DVD players, Stereo's, MP3's, Tape Recorders and headsets are amongst the few. Best Buy gift-cards will make purchasing this equipment a bit more affordable and maybe they could even use the gift towards buying a movie or batteries for their cameras. This is a wonderful gift and you can be sure it will not just be put away in a wallet or purse; it will most likely be used rather quickly. I hope this list has helped you and that you will now be more knowledgeable of the graduates coming up needs as far as stores they will need to buy stuff from goes. Good luck to all during high school graduation gift shopping! By Idalia Benavides
