i am going to a college graduation this weekend and i want to get the woman who is graduating something special, fun, or unique. she earned a BA in advertising - with an emphasis in creative rather than business. but she's also in queue to be considered for a teaching internship. she wants to teach elementary school. anyway. i don't want to give her money or a gift certificate. but i'm totally stumped. all i got when i graduated was $$. any ideas? and please don't say Graduation Barbie - she already got one for high school graduation. |
a puppy drugs a book brownies any combination of the above graduation barbie, you can never have too many |
|
Or a rubber fist. Though, the question is, balled up fist, or fingertips together? LS |
|
If your friend is working on the creative side of advertising, then is there some art tool she could use? Or if she is going to teach is there some book about that grade you could get her? When all else fails, a special bracelet or something like that works great! |

you graduate, you need food. (trans.- i need food) |
Brownies go good with travel. No offense, but engraved shot glasses, Anything to do With Work or Potential Occupation, or money...c'mon. I thought we were a creative bunch.... A massage or book of coupons for massages...season tickets to something musical or athletic... a piece of sculpture you like... a painting or anything you made yourself (little boxes to little books are good)...Wearable chocolate, hmmmm. |
no charge. |
vase last night for her successful master's defence. I didn't originally plan on that, just flowers, but then I remembered she didn't have anything to put flowers in when I gave her roses, and she had to use an Sun Tea jar. So, it was a practical and decorative gift. I hope I don't overwhelm her with this stuff. I don;t think I am, though. I think she really likes it, and I think from how she talks that no one has treated her like I do. Anyway, my advice is to go to Target and wander around until something leaps out at you. or gift certificates to a store she really likes. |
i like the making a gift idea - i can make some pretty neat jewelry. also the massage gift certificate, and a design case or portfolio... though i'm with daniel about no work-related stuff. if i could afford to send her traveling somewhere, i think that's the best idea of them all, though i'm not sure if she's big on traveling. kinda a homebody type. she's also very sentimental, so something engraved, a little treasure might work. all good food for thought. i better get crackin. |
|
oh, and Dougie... personally i'd adore receiving the gift of MEAT, but she is unfortunately for her a vegetarian. |
i always forget to use them and then feel really guilty every time i remember how ungrateful i am |
|
not being conscientious enough to remember them and use them is bad i feel bad when i remember that i waste them |
