- Once upon a time, graduation gifts were fairly easy to select -- a fancy
dress watch, briefcase, class ring, luggage, pen and pencil set, or maybe even
a trip abroad. Still popular choices, these gifts are part of a broadening
spectrum that includes both modern day-updates and some unconventional
alternatives.
What should you get for your favorite grad?
- Don't settle for a traditional personal calendar/address book. Buy a
pocket-sized electronic one instead.
- Typewriters are a thing of the past, but a nifty laptop computer is bound
to be well received.
- No more stationery! Send your graduate off with a pre-paid phone card,
beeper or cellular phone as a way to stay in touch.
- Can't afford a trip to Europe? A virtual vacation is the next best thing.

send your graduate to an exotic location.
- Before you buy that suit, think khakis and cords. More and more businesses
are loosening their ties and dressing down several days a week.
- Off to the dorm? Today's college students aren't content with a hot plate
and Mom and Dad's hand-me-down turntable. Boomboxes and CD's are the ticket,
and while you're at it, throw in a VCR, color television and microwave, too.
- Or, if a monetary gift suits you best, don't be too quick to give cash. Why
not start your graduate off on the right foot with a contribution to a Roth IRA
in his or her name?
