Money Gift Giving Ideas for Graduation

It’s that time of year again. All the hard work of the last 13 years is finally paying off for all the graduating Seniors. I don’t know about you but I can remember exactly how I felt leading up to the last few weeks of my school life. It’s so exciting thinking about the end of an era and all the possibilities that lie ahead. I love seeing the excitement and relief on their faces as they receive their diploma. I’ve always wanted to give a gift that was worthy of their accomplishments. I think the novelty gifts are cute but I like giving something a little more thoughtful. Every graduating senior needs money whether they’re heading off to collage, starting a new job or even taking a little vacation. I have rounded up some awesome Money Gift Giving Ideas for that special Senior in your life. They’re going to think you’re the best gift giver ever!

What ever the graduate has planned for their future they are going to need money to get them started. That’s why I think it’s the perfect gift. Hopefully they already have a savings account but if not, now is the perfect time to start one. I will have a graduate next year and even if she gets a scholarship there will still be books, food, and housing to pay for. Making sure she has less stress from money issues is my top priority. If you don’t have a savings account set up for your child(ren) yet I would recommend doing it soon. Even putting a small amount in each month will add up quickly and the sooner you start the better.

I love receiving mail this time of year from all the graduates I know. Their future is so fresh and bright and I love helping them with a little cash to get them started. Try some of these fun ideas above and see the smiles on their faces.
