Graduation Gift
Hi there
We are going over to the UK in a couple of weeks to attend son's graduation from Leeds University. I am looking a gift to get for him...I want something he can keep. Any ideas
Thanks
Sharon
p.s He got his degree in Music and said he would like a grand piano for graduating.

Re: Graduation Gift
if he has been through what i'm going through with my degree then may i suggest a lifelong AA membership?
seriously... depends on how much you want to spend?
A lot of unis do the graduation teddy bear with college scarf/ cheerleaders outfit... worth contacting the uni to see if they do?
Alternatively if you are any good at photography hwo about a montage of graduation photos taken by you and presented in noice album/ frame
or hows about (and this is what I want if any one is reading this) the tried and tested rolex oyster.... (most graduates prefer this one)

Re: Graduation Gift
But he can only keep the memories of that.
What does he like, jewellery, clothes etc....

...only kidding. I have contacted the Uni re Teddy Bear and am waiting to hear back from them. I had already decided on a framed pic (but love your idea of a montage) and the Rolex is a little out of my price range.
What are you doing your degree in ?

Re: Graduation Gift
Seriously - what about a vintage bottle of Port. One he can lay down and drink at a later date.
Another one could be some original sheet music.
A really nice pen - a Montblanc or something similar that will last him forever and a day

Re: Graduation Gift
Depending on where you are stopping on your way back to the Uk you could pick up a Montblanc duty free. One way of saving a few pennies.

Re: Graduation Gift
surely if you are paying for a ticket for him to come and see you, that is enough!
tend to think... either you are a multi millionairre (but wont be for much longer - do you wan to be my new bestest mate?) or being taken for a ride!
(my degree is a specialist practice nursing degree.... I finish my course in August and would like a new car for my graduation present please
)
