Social Graces {Graduation Party}

Tis the season for graduating.  Whether it be from high school, college, or specialty school, attending a graduation party is the perfect way to celebrate all the graduate's hard work.  If you are attending a grad party this season, it is appropriate to bring the honoree a little something.  While money is the typical gift (and usually most appreciated), there are some other great options to shower the graduate with if money isn't your style.

From Top Left:

1. Pineider City Chic - Women's Double Gusset Calfskin Briefcase in White and Blue

• For the college graduate entering the workforce, a briefcase is great.  It's something incredibly useful that the grad most likely won't buy for herself. 

2. Williams Sonoma Gift Card

• Whether entering or leaving college, a gift card to some place like Williams Sonoma is perfect. Carrying everything from kitchen utensils to food, they can get everything they need in one location!

3. Spa Package

• After all of that hard work, nothing sounds better than a relaxing day at the spa.  While it can get expensive, most spas have affordable manicure, pedicures, or even basic massages. If in doubt, just give a gift card to the spa so the graduate can pick his or her treatment.  This is a unique option that will be greatly appreciated! 

4. Michael Kors Shiny Rose Golden Watch I'm a firm believer that everyone should wear a watch.  If not all the time, at least while at work or school. This Michael Kors watch is stylish, functional, and the best gift a recent grad could get!
