Okay, troops, here's the time to sound off. Gimme your $.02! I want answers!
Middle Sister graduates from college mid-June...and I don't know what to get her!
What I won't get her? Money. Cold-hard cash. Because that's just not my style. I'm her sister. I'm an avid fan of "useful" gifts - like a Roomba (but too bad she already has one of those!) And I demand in a quality, thought-out, will-be-used/admired/appreciated gift.
Ready, set, go! And yes, I'll be dancing over to Gifts.com to see if they're any help.
Thanks all. Happy Monday!

Idea#1: Cleaning certificate to merry maids so when she moves to the new location she doesn't have to worry about getting her whole deposit back. Idea #2: forthcoming...
ReplyDeleteThe best things I got when I graduated were suitcases, kitchen things (mixing bowls, toaster, pots & pans, baking sheets, and so on... I'd been living in dorms, so I had none of that), and some nice clothes since I was going to work in the real world and couldn't wear jeans and t-shirts everyday anymore. Congrats to your sister!
ReplyDeleteI got a portfolio and a business card holder with my initials engraved on them as a graduation gift, and I found them very useful in the corporate world. Not sure what industry she is going into. Also, a really nice frame for her diploma would be something she will always have!
ReplyDeleteKatie: Merry Maids...good idea. Not sure when she plans on leaving the C-ville. Wook thought this was a good plan too.
ReplyDeleteMrs. S: Middle Sister is pursuing a career as a surgical nurse. I guess that would have been a key point to divulge. Oh well, I like that idea of biz cards enough for myself. :D Merci!
who cares about useful (although if you are looking for this direction I agree with the luggage suggestion)
ReplyDeleteJust to remind her life can still be fun after college why not go with something totally fun like a beer of the month club!! :)
Not sure if my ideas are too late but nevertheless, here they are:
ReplyDelete- a vacation for the two of you
- a stainless steel kitchen aid stand mixer (love mine!)
- a fancy schmancy new bed (a nurse needs her sleep)
- a clothing shopping spree
- travel gear
- strand of pearls
- a nice stethoscope
Good luck and happy shopping!
