Graduation Inspiration

Great Gifts for Graduates

Graduation season is here! Whether someone is graduating from middle school, high school, college or beyond, graduation is an occasion that calls for celebration. If there’s a graduate (or two!) you’re celebrating this year, Bas Bleu has lots of choices to make graduation even more special. Here are a few ideas:

A graduation card

It starts with the perfect card for celebrating! Bas Bleu makes sure your congratulations card stands out from all the others with an assortment of thoughtful cards that are ideal for graduation. Our pop-up bouquet cards are a happy surprise, and their 3D paper “blooms” last for years. The UX6592 Orchid Oasis Pop-Up Card has a calm vibe with its serene white and yellow orchids. If you’re going for more celebration than serenity, our UY6662 Fireworks Lighted Pop-Up Card literally lights up when it’s opened, so you can even celebrate from far away. Truly outstanding cards make their way to the mantel or tabletop, and these Bas Bleu cards will certainly earn a place of honor. They’ll think of you every time they see it!

Books

Books are thoughtful gifts that are easy to tailor to a specific recipient. Choose a book for the graduate that reminds you of him or her. What is their major? For a science or engineering major, Bas Bleu has UY2662 50 Math Tricks to keep their skills sharp for everyday use. UY2512 Nuts & Bolts by engineer Roma Agrawal celebrates seven of the greatest engineering achievements of all time, starting with the wheel. We have dozens of fiction books, from mystery to beach reads, for grads who love a good story. If they’ll be living on their own, a cookbook is the perfect gift for graduates. Offer them the basics of cooking with a US2982 Personalized Joy of Cooking, a very special housewarming gift. Or for someone living alone, a pair of UV7972 & UX8882: Cooking and Baking for One books are a good choice for a new cook. Send your very best wishes along with them with an inspirational book to send the graduate off into the world with confidence. We love UY4742 Chasing Dreams, by Kobi Yamada and illustrated by Charles Santoso, which encourages readers to set goals, overcome obstacles, and take on new challenges, all with encouragement from an endearing little raccoon.

Stationery

Is the graduate moving away, either to future schooling or for a new job? Encourage graduates who are moving away to write home with beautiful stationery like our UY6352 Wildflowers Stationery Set or UY6202 Bees and Wildflowers Flat Notes (throw in a copy of UW9722 Emily Post’s Etiquette to help them brush up on letter-writing and other social skills).

A Keepsake

A well-chosen keepsake is a thoughtful present for a graduate. At Bas Bleu, we’ve curated a selection of unusual gifts, sentimental gifts, and artistic gifts. After earning a diploma, a graduate deserves a break for relaxing and creativity. A UY6552 Cityscape Paint By Number or UY4622 Deluxe Watercolor Paper can spark new ideas, and they’ll use UY4612 Field of Flowers Watercolor Pencils for drawing and creating art again and again. Send your graduate off with a sentimental graduation gift like a UV8322 Hug Is Always the Right Size Necklace. A keepsake box makes a good present, too, for other important gifts the graduate will be receiving. Our UW9422 Floral Keepsake Box is a sweet graduation gift that will let them know you are thinking of them, and it shows how proud you are.
