What are the best gifts for graduation

Graduation is a special event and a significant milestone in each graduate's life. Check out these gift ideas to commemorate this scholarly accomplishment.

• Personalized jewelry. Show how much you appreciate him or her by giving her a bracelet imprinted with her name, a necklace with her initials on it, or a graduation ring for him.
• Teddy bear. This can be a small personalized teddy or a graduation bear complete with black cap.
• Quote book. Give them a collection of wisdom snippets culled from the sages of the ages. Try The Book of Graduation Wisdom, The Little Big Book of Life, or What Now? Words of Wisdom for Life After Graduation.
• Help books/books of inspiration. Consider giving a book such as How to Survive the Real World and What They Don't Teach You in College to help the graduate navigate the post-graduation world. You could also give them a book that has had special meaning for you, particularly when you were at their stage in life. There is also 1,000 Places to See Before You Die, 
• Journal. Moleskines are top-quality notebooks; there are also the Wreck This Journal kind, and other personalized options.
• Dorm-warming gift. If he/she is a high school graduate off to college, or a college graduate off to the university, you can give them something to help them transition into a new living space, such as a mug, lamp, booklight, camera, or coffeepot.
• Cookbook. Give a helpful cookbook that has a stellar collection of recipes as well as tips and lists to aid the single cook. Check out The Betty Crocker Cookbook, The Joy of Cooking, The Art of Simple Food, The Pleasures of Cooking for One, and even 101 Things to Do with Ramen Noodles.
• Gift basket. For girls, you could give on a bath and body theme; for guys, a sports/hunting/game theme.
