      Gifts are always nice

      Give a graduation present based upon what the graduate would generally like. For men this would be something related to sports and encouragement to aim for new heights. For Women this would be something softer and relating to the value to aiming for new goals and encouragement.

      Choose something that will increase in value over time

      Savings Bonds are great because they will add value over time. Graduation is the beginning of new goals and aspirations. A savings bond will increase in value over time and will eventually provide double the value if the graduate waits long enough. Remember to give a copy of the paper work to the students parents so they can have a back up copy just in case it gets lost or stolen.
