Don't forget Mom's graduation gift on her big day.
Graduating from school is a milestone to be celebrated with love and gifts. Sometimes those who are graduating also happen to be mothers who took on university studies while raising families, making the degree doubly special, the effort particularly admirable and the gifts even more deserved. Graduation gifts for mothers should be chosen with thought and given to express admiration and appreciation.
Personalized Gifts
If your mother is the one graduating, consider giving her personalized or monogrammed graduation gifts, which are ideal for the casual woman, according to CollegeGraduationGifts.org. Coffee mugs, key chains, rugs, pillows and other accessories can be personalized with her school colors, school name and graduation year. Also consider keepsakes such as jewelry, jewelry boxes, fortune cookies, clocks or pens. Personalized briefcases, planners and totes can become invaluable when she begins her job search with degree in hand.
Vacations
Vacations or getaways are graduation gifts on a grand scale for someone who had little time for travel while raising a family and studying. Choose an island or spa resort. Purchase a trip for two so she can choose a traveling companion. Some women enjoy the outdoors, so follow the suggestion of CollegeGraduationGifts.org by sending mom on an outdoor getaway to a camping site or resort park. If she studied a particular country or language while in school, send her where all that she learned can come to life for her.
Household Items
CollegeGraduationGifts.org describes a wonder mom as someone who enjoys receiving items that can be used to help her children and husband. Consider buying her household items such as kitchen d cor or accessories, or bathroom or bedroom accessories. You can make sure she's electronically up-to-date by giving iPods, televisions, stereos, computers or any of the latest electronic gadgets on the market.
