May is here, and with that means Graduation is just around the corner. Some years you may just get invited to 1 or 2 parties. Other years, you may get invited to a dozen. Over the years, I've accumulated a few ideas for gifts that don't have you spending a bunch.
1. Supplies for college:
This was something I gave to students when I was teaching. When I first showed up for college, I felt so prepared; we had my room ready, my clothes ready, I was mentally ready, but then I showed up to class....without any school supplies. I felt so dumb, how did I forget the basics? With that I gave school supplies as a gift. Nothing major just a notebook, some pencils, sticky notes & pens. Items that if they weren't going to school after all they could still use around the house.
A second type of supplies for college. When I was graduating, one of the gifts I was given was a set of beach towels. They were prefect for using in the dorm. There are so many things you need for college, towels for the bathroom may go unnoticed. A simple gift!
2. Fun activities
Sometimes after graduating it's fun to just have something fun! Here are a list of some fun items I've given to students and don't cost a lot.
- coloring book with coloring pencils/crayons
- jump rope & chalk
- ground coffee with a mug
- box of tea with a mug
- giftcard to a local coffeeshop
- plant
These are just a few simple ideas for graduating seniors. Really, your presence is what they appreciate the most, but hopefully you can find something on this list or be inspired by it.
