<p>I don’t even remember what we got D when she graduated college- I think it was an iPod that she doesn’t have anymore.
But she will be graduating in the spring with a masters in teaching degree and since she has been working full time in the classroom as part of her program, the only thing I think of is an Amazon or Powells gift certificate, she is always buying books!</p>
<p>Here are a couple of quick thoughts…</p>
<p>some sort of personalized briefcase/bookbag…to use in carrying her stuff back and forth to school…</p>
<p>a really good watch, cause she will need to keep track of time…also a nice way to mark this time in her life…have it engraved? </p>
<p>I think of teachers as on their feet all day long…a wonderful new pair of shoes…stylish yet comfy? or gift certificate to a great shoe store in your area…dansk clogs or other such comparable shoe…</p>
<p>a special and yet unique bookcase? there are many wonderful woodworkers in our area and I suspect in yours also…or even an unfinished one that you custom paint or stain for her…</p>
<p>a custom embosser with her initials for her to mark her books or kids papers etc…I was gifted with one when I left our local library board…still think it was a great gift…</p>
<p>nice sunglasses because her future is so bright?</p>
<p>great slippers for when she comes home at the end of a long day? LL Bean has wonderful “wicked good slippers” made with Shearling…</p>
<p>congrats on her vocation…well done…</p>
<p>So many great ideas thanks!</p>
<p>A membership to Beer of the Month club? Believe she would thank you every Friday afternoon! (very tongue in cheek of course)</p>
<p>My husband is very fond of the wooden rocking chair that his mother bought him as graduation gift. He had been shopping with her in a furniture store and sat down and liked it. So she said, “Good - that can be your graduation gift”. She has since passed away, but the chair we will always keep with us.</p>
