“Oh, the Places You’ll Go” is a fantastic book by Dr. Seuss. I received it as a high school graduation gift and it is so special to me. It’s a very inspirational book. I found an idea that involves this book but takes it to a whole new level.

Starting in Kindergarten, give this book to each teacher that your child has. Ask the teacher to write a message to your child. You can ask them in person or can write a little note to the teacher. Make sure everybody knows to keep it a secret! Present this book at his or her graduation and it will mean so much. This is so meaningful. Since each teacher has such an influence on the child and their education, they will love looking back at this.

My daughter is leaving for college next Fall and I don’t know if I am every going to be ready for it. This Spring will bring a ton of events and also some fun! She has prom in April, graduation in May (her graduation party is in the works of being planned) and the start of a summer job at the pool before she moves off to college!

She signed the lease to her apartment last week and we started looking for things to fill it with. It’s a smaller two bedroom apartment, but she really likes her roommate and I think she is really going to like living there. We’ll miss her though!

I found this floating desk while browsing around on Best Buy and this is a perfect spot to do homework yet doesn’t take up a lot of room. She’s going to love this! We’re going to surprise her with it as  one of her graduation gifts. I can’t wait!

I had a great time in college. It was some of the best years of my life. It was great to get out of the house and start becoming established on my own. I loved the freedom and the responsibility that college offered. I wish that somebody would’ve given me a “guide” to some common freshman encounters and occurrences.

We have so many graduations to attend this Spring. Our entire fridge is covered in graduation invites! I thought of the perfect gift to get the high school graduations about ready to start the next chapter of their lives. It’s a book titled “The Freshman Survival Guide: Soulful Advice for Studying, Socializing, and Everything.” This book has gotten fantastic reviews and has great advice to students about to enter their first year of college. It can be very nerve-wracking to start a completely new chapter of a person’s life and this makes a great gift to either a young man or young women.

It’s graduation season. Pretty soon our fridge will be full with graduation invitations. I like to give high school graduates something that they can use in college. Sometimes I’ll give gifts of bath towels, dorm accessories, and sometimes money so they can use it to purchase what they need.

This year, there are a few high school graduates that will be getting the gift of quarters. Why do you ask? When I was in college, I had to pay to do my laundry. It was $1.00 in quarters to wash and $.75 in quarters to dry. It was a pain in the neck to deal with and I never had the amount of quarters I needed. It’s goes without saying that I really don’t miss the coin laundry. It is something almost all college kids have to go through.

I usually give $20-$30 to high school grads when I give them cash. Instead, I will go to the bank and ask them to give me quarters in exchange for cash. This is a gift that will be used and is easy to do!

This is a cute a stylish gift for the college student moving away this fall. It’s a comforter from Victoria’s Secret PINK Collection. It has print graphic on one side and polka dots on the other.
