Graduation Gifts
So, you’re looking for a graduation gift, huh? If only you knew someone who liked to shop and had a lot of time on her hands. Oh, wait – you do! Lucky you! Actually I did a lot of research to come up with some options for you, but then I came upon the absolute perfect thing. I’ll give you the runners-up first:
Classic: pearl earrings – 6 mm is a good size $40
A perfect little shot of color for her new room: small clock $40
Always useful and pretty: personalized stationery $46 for this set
If she lives in the dorm (or even a shared apartment) she will need one of these: monogrammed robe $59.50

LL Bean Boat and Tote Bag $19-$64
It’s cute, timeless and wholesome. One size fits all. It can be personalized. She will have it for the rest of her life. She can use it for the beach this summer, carrying a laptop in the fall, hauling groceries one day when she has a place of her own, and even as a diaper bag one day. Who doesn’t need an extra tote? Best of all: it’s inexpensive.
You have to visit Chinatown next time you are in San Francisco. They sell all kinds of jade bangles and rings for super cheap here.
ReplyDeleteHow about a *customized* bean boat tote? I keep designing a black/red/natural one with their cool little online tool, but haven't gotten around to ordering it yet.
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas! I especially love the umbrella and the Kate Spade clock. Lovely.
