Question, My daughter (who we homeschooled), graduated this month from High School and will finish up her AA at the local CC in a few days...in fact she walks graduation this coming Friday. The Florida Dual Enrollment Plan is awesome! She has done an extraordinary job maintaining a 4.0 and taking 9 CLEP exams to get it done. I would like to buy her a small token as a graduation present. She already has a class ring, so that's no good. Funds are rather limited so $100 or so bucks is the practical limit. I thought about going the silly route and just buying "Oh the Places You'll Go" by Seusse, but that seems too silly and unoriginal. So I thought I would throw it out for suggestions. Whatever it is must be available locally or via overnight...anxious to hear your thoughts.
It's a great idea...in fact we did that when she was inducted to Phi Theta Kappa....she wants a Mont Blanc, but WOW the price! I like the way you think though!
I have no idea what kind of gift to suggest, but I just wanted to say that is an awesome accomplishment!!!!! Please wish her congrats on my behalf!!!!!!!!! Very impressive! Abner :smile: :banana:
Perhaps a fancy frame for the diploma? That is really not to "exciting". Maybe a night out for her and her friends to celebrate?
I'll take a page from the "b4 book of investing" and suggest that you buy her a bar of silver. Or maybe a kindle.
I will probably get her a frame...but after. Any other ideas, especially any book ideas? Something worth holding onto? Kiz....the bar of silver would definantly be unique! Heck, she would probably like it.
I like the idea of a kindle. A book idea...John Bear's book on DL degrees...autographed (I am sure you would have to ask nicely) :smoker:
I knew a young lady from a large family (10? kids) many years ago. Upon graduation, each child received a set of luggage. Before we laugh too hard, it really is a nice, practical gift that is likely to get years of use. As for cost, at least a nice piece of luggage or travel daypack/carry-on should be affordable on a limited budget .
Here are some more!!!!!! :banana: :banana: :banana: Good job for steering her in the right direction. She already has a GREAT start in life at such a young age. Abner :smile:
Haha, don't want to give her any ideas...I rather like her being at home. Thanks for all the replies, much appreciated!
Thanks to everyone that made a suggestion...I appreciate you all! We wound up with "Oh the Places You'll Go" with everyone signing it...great idea, thanks! She also received about $600 cash including the prize she was awarded by the school for academic achievment. Her Mom and I gave her a necklace and key chain (and the class ring a month ago). Her Sister went through all the family photo's and made her a pretty impressive album with captions...very cute and thoughtful. Various gifts from other relatives...she made out like a bandit! Thanks again! Mike
