9 Gifts to Prepare Your Graduate for the Road Ahead

Whatever You Choose To Be

For today’s young adults, the possibilities and opportunities are exhilarating and limitless. But sometimes it's confusing with no clear-cut paths for major life choices after earning a degree. In this new gift book, inspired by a commencement speech she gave in 2014, Ann Romney puts forth eight key life lessons, the pieces of advice she wishes someone had given her when she graduated college.

Major Decisions: Taking Charge of Your College Education

After graduating from high school it is difficult to decide which major is right for you or whether it’s even worth investing the time and money into a degree. Major Decisions helps readers weigh decisions by illustrating earning potentials of different jobs and demands from different majors. Most importantly, it emphasizes that students are their own contractors of their education and it is up to them to get the most out of their schooling.

Aim High Tie Bar

Give your graduate a gift that they can wear to church or to any new jobs coming their way. An arrow tie bar helps remind the person wearing it to aim high in their goals, standards, and focus. Not to mention it dresses up any tie nicely.

Oh, the Places You’ll Go!

"Today is your day. You're off to Great Places! You're off and away!" Oh, the adventure you'll have in this Dr. Seuss classic. Graduates are drawn to this Seussian version of the outrageous and wonderful odyssey of life. There are highs, and there are lows, but "will you succeed? Yes! You will, indeed!"

Remembrance Ring
