Twelve great graduation gifts
Besides weddings, the most popular activity for June weekends seems to be high school and college graduations. Along with lifting a toast to grads at all the parties, it's also nice to acknowledge the effort that went into actually getting that degree with something lasting.
A thoughtful gift can be big or small, personalized or humorous, expensive or simply a gesture. The important thing is that it reflects something of the recipient, and your feelings for him or her.
There is a wide, wild and wacky world of gifts made especially for graduates, as well as some traditional, classic items. We've got the full range, from sweet tokens to sinful luxury in the gallery.

Whether it's something whacky or traditional, a graduation gift - as with any gift that marks a very special occasion or achievement - should be marked with a gift that's meaningful. Regardless of what you give to mark your own special relationship with the recipient, you can transform the gift by giving a sentiment that transforms the gift into something really unique. This 'Future's So Bright' package [http://www.wishwrap.com/products/Future_s_So_Bright-174-0.html]with a wish for fame and fortune in the packaging is a great fun but meaningful gift for a high school or college grad. It's a little more distinct from the run-of-the-mill gifts that don't 'say' anything other than 'here's a nice gift'.
