Graduation Gift to Remember

Graduation Gift to Remember

Looking for a graduation gift? It is a time when you may not have thought your child would graduate. The day is finally here, and you as the parents are so excited. Now it is time to have a party for all those years of hard work. There have been many good and bad times from the day they were born until graduation. It only makes sense to give a graduation gift that the whole family can enjoy, not just for your child about to graduate.

Write a list of all the great things you think your parents have done for you. It will be a graduation gift to your parents that they will deeply appreciate. It is a time when you are becoming more of an adult, and feel very grateful for all these years of dedication from your parents who have helped.

Graduation Party to Remember

A graduation party takes some time to set up, so make it a great one. Sit down and write out something you want to say about your graduation and your family’s contribution. It may be the first public speech you give starting your life off, as an adult out of high-school. Thank your parents for providing for you, encouraging you, and supporting you as you go off to college or your new life journey.

All the party food and decorations are set up. Your family and friends are here and it is really setting in that you are officially an adult. Your parents re realizing that you are about to leave the nest and grow up. There were many nights staying up late working on school projects, going to ball games, and hanging out with your friends. You whole network of support throughout your life is here at your graduation party.

As you are thanking all of your family, friends, and mentors pull out memories and mementos from a graduation gift to remember. Go back in time to the stories that really mattered throughout your life, as you pull out heirloom items, cards, old report cards, etc from a DIY Graduation Time Capsule you created.

Graduation Time Capsule Moment

It is a heartfelt moment with all eyes on you as you open your memorable graduation gift of this time capsule. Let your support network know you would not have made it through school without them. Thank your parents for being there during the funny and hard times. Pull out photos from the graduation time capsule and pass them around as you tell funny stories. The graduation time capsule opening ceremony will be a time of reminiscing and tears of happiness, and possibly missing family members who are no longer around. In the end, read a “Message to the Future” letter you wrote to yourself when you were younger about what life will be like when you graduate high-school or even later in life. It will be interesting to see how any of your predictions about the world will be true, by the time you graduate high school.

Your parents knew this day would come, so make it special for all of you by presenting this graduation time capsule that you have been saving for years and storing your child’s favorite memories and mementos in, or give it to them as a graduation gift to save things from their life starting now. Then, tell them to choose a “Do Not Open Until” date to put on the lid of this time capsule, to open again in the future and reminisce abut the good old days. It is a precious, enduring gift.
