Celebrating educational milestones is a wonderful way to appreciate and recognize the students (and teachers) in your life. Whether your child is about to enter the first grade or your sister is about to graduate with a master’s degree, these gifts encapsulate a love of learning, knowledge, and accomplishment. From figurines to keepsakes, memorable gifts capture your relationship with the hardworking student in your life.
Here are a few hand-selected gifts for a new student or an up-and-coming graduate you love so dearly:
Leather-Bound Journals
If they love writing as a personal or creative outlet, a leather-bound journal is a beautiful gift for the student or aspiring writer. They are also great for note-taking in class or used as annual albums that reflect on a year of study. Pick out a journal that is easy to keep open when writing and doesn’t require too many ties or closures. If you want to go go even further, provide them with some writing prompts or a personal note on the inside cover.
Commemorative Sculptures
Hand-carved figurative sculptures are an excellent way to express your love and support of a family member or friend. Express feelings of love of learning, following your dreams, wisdom, appreciating the journey, and more with a detailed figurine. Reflect the hard work of a student with a figurine holding or reading a book, or a sculpture that resembles a butterfly.
Keepsake Boxes
These are sweet and secret places to keep treasures and memories. Gift a keepsake box to someone who regularly wears jewelry or collects items from traveling. One with a message at the bottom or a special meaning inscribed will carry precious meaning to the person giving the box and the person receiving it. Celebrate a woman or young girl in your life by giving them a keepsake box.
Calendars
For the student in your life approaching a milestone—like finishing their first year of school or graduating—a countdown calendar can be a fantastic gift. Customize a calendar with photos, a specific color scheme, or count down the days until the special event arrives. This shows your support of their hard work toward accomplishing an exciting goal.
Signature Writing Utensils
Find the perfect pen or pencil set for your aspiring straight-A student or summa cum laude graduate. A fountain pen can be an exciting gift for an avid notetaker or artistic student. If your student is in the creative arts, find out if they would benefit from a high-quality colored pencil set or specific writing or drawing supplies. Supplying them with what they need is a thoughtful gift for any student. Consider asking if they need any school supplies before giving them a commemorative gift.
