Graduation gift ideas

 Graduation gift ideas can be anything from novelty graduation gifts to trips around the world. For most people graduation from anything is a big deal and they have come to expect gifts for it. As hard as it is I guess I don’t blame them for expecting graduation gifts inline with the degree of the accomplishment.

It’s true that most of us don’t like school.  Just ask anyone you know and I doubt you’ll find very many who really and truly love it. This goes double for high school.

It’s a mere stepping stone. It’s one of life’s imperatives. The majority of us do it in order to avoid becoming outcasts and getting stuck with a crappy job at a local fast food dive.

However, when high school is over, we jump with joy. Sure, there may be some doubts. Maybe a slight sense that you’ll miss it all, but then once it’s long gone, you realize that you don’t.

Now, there is another up-side to being done with school. It’s called graduation gifts and cash. This can apply to high school and college. So, do you have any good graduation gift ideas?

Back in the late 60s when I graduated from high school, I was relieved. I wanted out of that prison so badly. No wait; I mean that dungeon. Prison is where you’re locked up and restricted from the outside, but the dungeon is where you’re tortured.

That’s pretty much what my high school was. It was torture with a nice smiley academic face on it to fool the parents. Does this sound familiar? I recall my Algebra 2 teacher didn’t even take the time to grade my test once. He just wrote the word “NOPE” on the top. Now that’s messed up! Who does this sort of thing? I’ll tell you who; a sadist torturer.

Anyway, graduation was soon on the way. There really wasn’t a great deal to worry about. I’m sure my folks had a few amazing graduation gift ideas. Then finally the day was present. I couldn’t wait to see what kind of rewards I would get. Some people got their  graduation gifts from the school when they got their diploma. I worked for mine.

Graduation from high school is a big deal. Once I snatched that diploma from some old fart’s hand, I was good to go. Later that evening my mother gave me a plane ticket to Europe so that I could spend the summer hiking around the different countries. She also a thousand dollars for expenses. This was SWEET! Talk about cool graduation gift ideas.

Are you prepared for your little one to graduate and move on to that next level of life? Better come up with some great graduation gift ideas, and fast. He/she will certainly be expecting something. After all, this is our first major accomplishment in life. It should be celebrated.
