Your child has worked very hard at private school. She has covered herself in academic glory, won many honors in a wide variety of extra-curricular activities and is ready for the next step: college. Graduation is always a warm, happy occasion as family gathers to bathe in all that reflected glory. Mark this important milestone with a memorable gift. Here are some suggestions with every budget in mind.

A Biking Trip

He'll be back at school studying hard soon enough. So why not treat him (or her) to a biking trip? There are several companies which organize these action-packed trips. Check out Teen Treks and Overland , for example.

A Scooter

A scooter is sustainable transportation especially if she will be going to college in an urban area without much public transportation. The Honda Metropolitan , for example, reminds me of the classic Vespa (only less expensive). It's easy to operate and light on the pocketbook.

A Watch

There are hundreds of makers and thousands of models of watches to choose from as you well know. In every price range too. From Michele to Casio .

A Pen

The bespoke shops call them writing instruments. Whatever you call them, a fine pen is a gift to be cherished. Mont Blanc and Cross have a variety of models from which to choose.

Make your gift memorable or a keepsake or both. Best wishes to you and your family at this happy time.
