Sentimental Graduate Gifts
Being the creator of Pages from the Heart Gift books I don’t have to worry about gifts for grads for the big two graduation occasions which of course are the high school graduation present and university graduation gifts . Being blessed with mainly granddaughters and Pages From the heart being somewhat sentimental gifts they naturally lend themselves more to the the feminine psyche rather than the male or so I always thought until my first grandson graduated from high school and I presented him with a new stereo system that I knew he wanted he was pleased with the gift of course. But not as pleased as I thought he should of been ,after the party he came to me and asked “why didn’t you make a Pages from the Heart for me grandma? I had already cleared a spot on my shelves for it gran”
I of course felt dreadful and explained that I had incorrectly thought that guys wouldn’t want sentimental gifts as graduate presents and would of course correct my error. So it just goes to show even the male members of our families ,as tough as they may appear on the outside ,have a softer side that likes sentimental gifts in their proper place of course. Guys like their special milestones commemorated just as much as we females do .
If your wondering what a Pages from the Heart gift book is, basically they are old or damaged real hard backed books that are treated with a stiffening agent, images and poetry are collaged and decoupaged to the face of the gift book, the images are enhanced by creating a 3D aspect ,in that they stand out from the page ,this is achieved with paper tole and paper quilling techniques and by the addition of various other handmade decorative elements.Unique ornamental handmade gifts that can be personalized which allow them to become sentimental gifts or keepsakes for all those special moments in our lives. you can get a better idea by visiting the pages 3D Gift Gallery.Or view the youtube video top right.
Graduation season is nearly upon us once again meaning that search for that perfect graduate present is about to start too, and it seems at least to me that you can now just about graduate from anything and anywhere my kids and grand kids, are graduating from preschool, kindergarten, grade school, and middle school high school, college and hopefully university. The cap and gown industry must be making a fortune. Because there are now so many graduation occasions all worthy of commemoration to one extent or another, depending on the size of your family or your level of closeness or kinship to the particular graduate in question it must feel for some that looking for gifts for grads has become almost a full time occupation .
Regardless of how many graduations you may participate in or how many gifts for grads you may have to search for it is often graduating from high school that holds most significance to graduates and parents alike, as this graduation event is like no other as it is this event that symbolizes the gateway to adulthood, it’s a time where you move forever away from all things childlike to all things adult. It’s a major accomplishment that will most likely be recalled many times throughout the rest of your life. So, with graduation season just around the corner, if you know a young man or woman graduating this year, it’s not too soon to start considering what graduate present is right for them, graduate presents and tokens come in all shapes and sizes and price ranges . For something a little less ordinary think of giving a Pages Gift book I have several designs that would make the perfect commemorative graduate present for your grad, all of which can be individually personalized for the graduate.
End of Year Teacher Gifts.
Personally I feel that it is important to show your children or grandchildren that you value their education, the more likely they are to succeed so even if the preschool or kindergarten your child attends doesn’t make a big deal about graduation or gifts for grads I think it’s important that you do. One way of doing this is to celebrate with them their educational mile stones. Of course some should be bigger celebrations than others and marked in much more distinctive ways and with bigger and more elaborate gifts such as the high school graduate present or university graduation gifts. Its also important at these times that we pay special tribute to the teachers who have helped our children succeed ,personalized end of year teacher gifts are rarely found ,teachers go on from day to day ,school term after school term, year after year, with little appreciation ever coming their way ,so think of saying a very special thank you to someone who has played a special role in your child’s education perhaps give a pages gift book as a unique end of year teacher gift.
When buying a pages gift book as a teacher appreciation gift, if you are a student it might be a good idea if you and several of your friends joined together to buy the gift, as he or she might find accepting more costly gifts from individual students a little uncomfortable where as if the gift is bought by the whole class that is a different matter.
Pages from the Heart Gift books have been given as graduate presents to celebrate and commemorative any graduation occasion from preschool graduation gifts all the way to being gifted as a university graduate present. I custom make each gift book so they can become suitable commemorative gifts or graduate presents for graduates from nursing or medical school, law school or even home schoolers
