    Grad Gifts For Guys

    That-a-boy. From hitting his first T-ball to learning to drive, the young man in your life has made you proud with every accomplishment he's scored. For the guy grad who's earned his diploma, a gift is certainly in order. It'd be great if the gift prepared him for the adult world, but boys will be boys, and a part of that will live in him forever. Unlike the girls, the memories will stay bottled up inside, so a gentleman graduate's gifts will be more about celebrating than reflecting -- he's on to conquer the world, after all. Sure, he'll always appreciate a card and a check -- well, we all know the card is just a fancy envelope for the check he'll be expecting under the fold -- but a gift with thought will let him know just how much you admire him for sticking it through, as well as how much you believe in him for following his dreams. Equip him well with one of these savvy tributes to your talented scholar's success from a slideshow that'll blow his mind -- and blow off some of the steam that built up in his stint as a hard-working student!

    Gifts for Grads: Frame the Memories!

    Looking for a perfect gift for the graduate in your life? Nothing could be more personal than framing a favorite photo as a gift, especially for high school grads headed off to college. I'm sure you agree - taking the time to print and frame a digital picture can take some serious effort, and is something that often is put at the bottom of the to-do list. That's why I love this photo collage frame from personalizationmall.com: you can pick any one-line message and it is lasered into a matboard. Just print a few photos for the back! Tip: it looks even cuter when you let one photo cut across two letters. For something a little simpler for the green-loving grad, what about the Mariposa recycled aluminum frame? It's glamorous and eco-friendly! Check out my slide show for other great photo frame gifts for grads!

    When it comes to high school and college grads, tech-savvy gifts are some of the best around. There's so much on the market though, so it's important to figure out what they already have and what would make a good addition to their lives. For instance, college grad moving to a new city? How about the Garmin eTrex Legend GPS to help them find their way around their new home? High school grad was a cross country superstar? I think an iPod shuffle would be a perfect gift to accompany them on their runs in college. If your niece graduated with a degree in environmental science, how about the solar battery charger to help her charge her phone while out on a clean-up site? Check out my slideshow for lots of other tech savvy gifts for grads!

    Congratulations! The high school crap is finally over-- and it's bittersweet. .There's a parting of ways for a lot of you, an uncertainty about what you're getting yourself into after a routine or home-style living, and definitely a sense of relief that you won't have to carry around a hall pass again. Hats off to you, though, as we commemorate your maturity in personality and knowledge! These accomplishments certainly shouldn't go without notice. A graduation gift should be something that inspires. Sure, any big electronic is going to be appreciated by the 'rents, but a gift that goes past the expected can give the giftee a hopeful wish for the future. Something to help them pursue their dreams, or even just remind them of what a special gem they are in this big world are a great way to show your loved ones how proud of them you are. As for those of you who've just tossed your high school hats, these gifts are great for holding on to the memories you already cherish, as well as help you make more memories to last you the rest of your lives!

    Graduation Dresses That Are Too Cute To Be Covered By Your ...

    If I had to pick one of the most unfashionable inventions ever, it's the graduation gown. Forcing kids to wear them on their big special day just seems like a cruel and unusual tradition that will never die. Sure, it makes your entire class look uniform like a big army of ants or a school of fish (depending on what horrendous color of the rainbow you're forced to don for the sake of school spirit), but it's just not the cutest way to embark upon the next chapter of your life. The only way to somewhat make up for this tragically dowdy damper of Grad Day joy is to ensure that what you're wearing underneath your gown is cute and festive enough to have you ready for the post-ceremony celebrations in one second flat (because that's how quickly you'll be disposing of that frumpy sheath)! Whether your style is fun and floral for a summery morning commencement and brunch to follow, done-up and dramatic for a momentous evening occasion and post-party, or casual-cool for your small artsy school, I've found plenty of graduation dresses that will help you start your summer right, diploma in hand (and won't make you look even bulkier under that gown)! Check out the slideshow for some of my favorite commencement day frocks!
