What Is the Etiquette of Graduation Gifts?


  • Graduation season is sometimes filled with confusion. Should one send graduation gifts? Can you send them before or after graduation day? Should you send thank you notes? Graduation is a milestone in one’s life, and it should be celebrated. Gifting is also a norm unless requested not to bring graduation gifts during the celebration. 

    The graduation gift should also be meaningful, a reflection of the event. An example is this custom year necklace. You can personalize it with the graduation year, a reminder that the graduate will remember for life. The raw material is 925 silver with the option of 14K gold or rose gold finish. You can also get it in matte silver. 

    Whenever possible, send the gift on graduation day. However, if you have no other option, you can send the gift early but ask it to be opened with the other gifts on graduation day. You can also give a gift after graduation. 

    Graduation also comes with mixed feelings. For some people, it is not just the end of this phase of their education. It is also a time when they say bye to their friends and their passion because they don’t know what the future holds. 

    You can give them a personalized gift that reminds them of their university life, and something they can hold on to. For example, if he played basketball, this basketball necklace is a great graduation gift. It is nickel-free and doesn’t tarnish.

    Another keepsake is this personalized university keychain. You can engrave the logo and your graduation message. The keychain will be useful as they move on to their next phase in life. It is also a gift that they can keep, a reminder of their time in university. You can get it in blue, red, cinnamon, dark brown, and light brown.
