Pomp And Circumstance

Ah, the spring air brings to mind blooming flowers, spring showers…and graduation ceremonies. My high school ceremony was held in a hot gymnasium (before the modern days of A/C) while my college graduation ceremony was held outdoors. Fortunately, it was a nice day with no rain in sight. Though the graduating class walked away with diplomas and scorching sunburns! With both high school and college graduations looming, I wanted to share my picks of gifts for the soon-to-be graduate in your life.

My first pick may surprise you, but it is just so cool. It's a "101 Things To Do With Ramen Noodles" recipe book. I lived on ramen and mac & cheese while I hit the books and pulled all-nighters, so this book is perfect for college-bound students as well as recent college grads suddenly finding themselves out in the "real world." Prepare to be amazed at what delicious meals they can easily (and cheaply) make with the simple ramen noodle!

My next three picks are each personalized mementos of this special life event. There is the adorable plush bear in his graduation cap and gown that will bear (how could I not throw that pun in there?) the graduate's first name and year. The graduation pillow and throw can be personalized with the graduate's full name, year of graduation, and name of school. Pillow and throw will come in handy for those power naps between college classes!

It doesn't matter if they graduated from public, private or Ivy-league schools. You can still tease the new grad's sense of achievement with the tongue-in-cheek Paper or Plastic T-shirt. They'll need a good sense of humor out there in that crazy world of ours!

Your "Voted Class Clown" Gift Guru,

Linda
