  • graduation gifts

    I've heard it is typical to buy a SO a gift when they are done. Has anyone done this? Is it supposed to be a pricey gift, a memoir, a book? Dh already has a good stetho with engravement so that idea is gone. Anyway I'm in need of an idea.

    Before he graduated (but it was 4th year), I gave my then boyfriend a class ring from his medical school. He loves it and wears it often. For graduation, I had all of his diplomas framed- MD, BS, AA (he has 2!!) and even his high school diploma. I had mine done when I got my Master's degree. (and I hang the HS diploma next to the MS because I figure 1) it took a LOT longer to get and 2) I learned a LOT more getting it!)

      I also did the frame-diploma-thing for both our undergrad diplomas, his MD, and my MBA. They look great hanging together in our study!

          Today I don't think I will get him anything, the crab .. actually maybe a gift bag with a dishtowel, garbage bag, diapers and some laundry detergent, oh and of course he can't graduate without a mop!
          You crack me up!!!!

            Sounds like a dress watch might kill two birds with one stone here.

              I actually thought of that but OMG he is so picky and I hate returning gifts. But would that be tacky to get it before he graduates so he has it for his interviews?

                I wouldn't think so, but we're pretty loose with the gift-giving protocol when it's just between the two of us. Do you think getting it early would diminish his enjoyment of it, or would he not care?

                  I don't know, for once I actually think he would appreciate it.. I really am starting to like the idea of a watch.. maybe to make it more special (and graduation like) I could get it engrave. What do you think?

                    That sounds like a very nice idea. And he'd probably appreciate being able to use it, even if that means getting it early.
