Graduation day – it is that once a year event when children move from one phase of educational maturity and into the next. It is a day when parents are incomparably proud of their children for the grand achievement. And such events are perfect times for gift giving. So what do you give the new graduate? Here are some ideas you can use:
For Graduating Girls
For graduating girls, it is always a good idea to go for their soft spot for fashion and sweet things. Here are three gift ideas you can use:
Women are always into fashion and stylish bags are always a part of it. And for women, bags are not only an item of necessity but an accessory of self-expression and individualism. With a stylish leather bag, you will definitely not go wrong. She will love it and it will be one of the best ways to congratulate her on her big day.
Box Of Sweet Chocolates
All right, maybe stylish leather bags are too much for your budget. But there is a sweet alternative which she will love just as much. Chocolates – there must be a reason why it is called the universal gift. It goes straight into the heart and it can make anyone happy. Give the graduation girl a sweet treat by giving her a box of chocolates.
Sparkly Jewelry
If budget is not your problem, this is probably the best idea for graduation gifts out there. Women adore jewelry and its eternal sparkle will allow them to keep it for a very long time. And since she will be wearing it, she will always remember you. It is the perfect remembrance gift and is particularly nice if coming from parents.
For Graduating Boys
Contrary to belief, it may be more difficult to choose appropriate graduation gifts for guys. But with the right guidance, you can nail this one quick and fast. Here are some tips you can use:
Graduating boys are now off to a new life. High school graduates will either go to college or start working and college graduates will not pursue their career. This means, they are on their way to becoming professionals. As such, a professional leather bag will be a much appreciated gift.
Nice Techie Gadget
If you have the budget, this will be the nicest gift you can give a graduating guy. Men love technology and they practically worship electronic gadgets. This can be anything from iPods, laptops (and iPads too), computer game consoles, game handhelds, and mobile phones.
Especially if you are low on budget, a stylish leather wallet will make a fine gift. Every young man entering the professional world will need a good wallet to go with him. And it will not be so hard to choose a style which he will like because men’s wallets are less varied compared to women’s accessories.
So before the season of graduation comes, review these tips first and you will surely be able to find the perfect Graduation gifts for your graduating friends or family.
Graduation season often starts out with a slow pace that quickens almost daily. And for the parents, friends and relatives of a graduate the biggest challenge is finding graduation gifts that are both memorable and provide a measure of value. Everyone wants to make the graduation as special a moment as possible. And a thoughtfully chosen graduation gift becomes a treasure that lasts a lifetime. So, how does one make the magic happen with their gift selection?
It begins with the graduate gift thought process which means eliminating the obvious and overworked items on most of our lists. Such things as a gift certificate to a theater or coffee shop, while thoughtful, don’t truly hit the mark for celebrating the right of passage that graduation represents. And although cash is always a very popular gift, it doesn’t compare with the impact of something like a leather graduation gift, especially the more popular ones that provide such lasting memories.
Speaking of graduation leather gifts, even something as memorable as a box of chocolates and a bottle of fine wine can impress on occasion, but like cash, the memories do not linger. We also know that the best thing about leather gifts is that you don’t have to spend much to make a huge impression on the receiver. Whether your plan is an elaborate surprise party of a small get together after the ceremonies, fine leather gifts always motivate a chorus of oous and aahs.
Statistically speaking, Creative Leather Concepts is the online version of what a major land based retailer would be, except CLC is able to stock a larger variety of leather gifts and goods at much better prices.
As an example of their range of fine leather gift items, there are briefcases and key cases and leather bags and laptop bags for the office in addition to leather backpacks or the more luxurious high fashion type iPod cases and passport cases that you won’t want to leave home without.
The best thing that can be said about graduate leather gifts is that the selection is packed with the most sought after and globally popular leather items available anywhere.The timing doesn’t get any better when it comes to graduate gifts for high school or college graduates or even the post graduate on your list.
The graduation season, in today’s world of boutique colleges with 6, 18 and 36 month courses, expands nearly everyone’s graduation gift calendar. For a once in a lifetime event like the graduation of a friend or family member, nothing fits the occasion as perfectly as the time honored tradition of giving a fine leather graduation gift.
We ordered some showcases last year for our showroom from a company in Philadelphia. They arrived in perfect condition, even though they were made of glass and I was so happy to receive them I called the rep at the company to thank him for his wonderful service.
He answered the phone hesitantly, thinking that I was calling to complain about damaged merchandise. I just told him that I was so happy with the product and the timely delivery, I called him to thank him for it. Surprisingly, he exclaimed, "ok, where's the 'but'?"
I said there is no "but." He just couldn't believe it! He said that in 20+ years with that company, a paucity of customers called to ever thank him. All his calls were complaints! I was so upset at hearing about this and then I felt thankful for being a part of CLC, where our customers actually call or email us even when things go just right or better than they expected, because they are wonderful, appreciative human beings! Thus, I want to share some recent testimonials with you in this post and encourage you to leave talk positively about companies that you like doing business with, since the world is so full of negative sentiments.
Before I post these testimonials, though, I would like to mention some positive experiences I had this week with my kids in the Niagara Falls area.
We went to 2 different places and I loved both of them. My kids enjoyed dearly as well and that's why I am taking the time to let you know about them because if you are ever in this area, you must make time to visit the following two attractions (aside from visiting us at CLC).
The first ride is the balloon ride at Niagara Falls, NY, which takes you up 400 ft in the air and lets you enjoy a truly breathtaking view of the entire Niagara Falls (USA & Canada) landscape. And guess what? It's extremely affordable, so please check it out.
The second attraction is our favorite amusement park, Fantasy Island, which is almost walking distance from CLC! It truly is family friendly and the fun is long lasting, especially for the kids. So please do check it out (on weekdays, preferably). They are open from Memorial Day to Labor Day (every day except Mondays).
OK, so here are two unsolicited testimonials from our dear clients who took the time to appreciate our efforts and we thank them.
1) From Margaret & Dave Z (full last name not displayed on purpose), Kannapolis, North Carolina -
Dear Adam,
Our experience with Creative Leather Concepts has been extremely positive and satisfying. Specifically we had ordered a lawyer’s briefcase from your web site for our graduating son-in-law. We received it in a timely manner but when we were looking at it we discovered the pin that holds the handle was working loose. My wife called while on the road and talked with Rocky who was very helpful in getting in touch with you. You decided that a replacement was the best solution considering the time element. It was shipped over night to my house. Unfortunately the FedEx driver wasn’t able to locate my house this time. You had the briefcase recalled and shipped another one directly to my son-in-law's house. Scott received the briefcase on his graduation day and is very thrilled. We want to thank you for going to the extreme in making Scott’s graduation a very special day. We are very pleased with Creative Leather Concepts and will recommend them to our friends.
Regards, Margaret and Dave Z
2) From Helen L., Voorhees, NJ:
Dear Karen,
It has been so lovely talking with you and getting this order handled and I may say that you did it with aplomb. I received the Passport Holders and the lovely gift, which my husband really liked and is now his, smile. The Initials look great. I was so surprised when they arrived at my door last night, one day before schedule. Good Job! The Passports are great I did want to know if you think they look better with the Passport seal and that if my niece and nephew want that can it be added later? Please let me know your opinion. Again, so nice to meet you and I definitely will be doing more business with your company in the future. By the way, do you give discounts to brides for their wedding parties. Perhaps I could mention your company to my sister and she may buy the wedding party gifts from you. Blessings and have a great day, Helene
And yes, we do give discounts to all those who subscribe to our free email list!
Thanks for the compliments and rest assured, we read all our emails, even during Christmas season!
