Special & Thoughtful Homeschooling Graduate Present Ideas
Jan 16, 2008
Graduating homeschoolers deserve memorable presents for their high school accomplishments. Here are great gift ideas for special homeschool graduates.
Graduates of all types deserve special recognition for the accomplishments of their high school years, homeschooled grads included. Homeschoolers, having just a little different view on life and education, may appreciate different types of presents than other grads, and perhaps even be touched by thoughtful gifts in a deeper way.
Following are some thoughtful gift ideas for homeschool graduates.
Graduation Presents for One's Own Homeschooled Student or Grandchild
- Is there a special family book or Bible that can be passed on to the graduate? Ideas are Grandfather's book of quotations, an old family dictionary, or a parent's favorite volume.
- A piece of family jewelry, such as a grandparent's ring or cameo is very touching.
- Perhaps there is a precious pocket watch, handpainted vase, or other item that will remind the graduate of a honored relative.
- A scrapbook stuffed full of homeschooling work samples mixed with photos of happy times with friends is very personal and thoughtful.
- A blank book filled with greetings and words of wisdom written by friends, families, teachers, coaches and mentors is a great idea sure to be kept for life.
- If it is in the budget, a memorable family trip may be in order.
Homeschool Graduate Gifts for Children of Friends
- An inscribed inspirational book is special, especially if the giver writes inside why the book is meaningful to them.
- A blank journal and very nice pen are thoughtful and useful presents.
- A book on college success is good for a student taking that path.
- If the college a student will attend is known, buy or order a gift personalized with the new alma mater's logo, such as a sweatshirt, a backpack, or a set of notebooks and pens.
- Gift cards are always a standby emergency gift, but be sure to write a special note in the card to make it more personal
Gift Ideas from Friends of the Graduating Homeschooler
- Friends of the graduate may also enjoy shopping at the college bookstore for fun gifts. Most colleges have many gift items, like mugs, totes, hats and even small goodies for lower budgets.
- A framed photo of the friend with the grad is very personal.
- If the graduate is going away to college, perhaps something for the new dorm room or apartment would be a fun idea, perhaps in the new school colors.
