Why are Graduation Gifts an Important Tradition

Graduation is a very important moment in our children's life. The happiness, the joy, the pride a parent feels when their son or daughter graduates is immense. And it is immense for a reason. That reason is the fact that their children are progressing in life and they are happy and proud of their offspring. But pride and happiness aren't the only emotions that are felt by parents. They are also felt by sons and daughters and are also enhanced by a very special tradition.

Laptops and Gadgets

Parents sometimes prefer a more practical approach to gift-giving. Laptops and gadgets are usually presented as gifts after the graduation ceremony because they are more practical than they are emotional. A new phone or a new laptop although not as sentimental gifts as flowers still symbolise the creation of a young professional and can remind your children of their achievements, though not for long. Technology is notorious for getting outdated really fast so such presents are bound to last for about 5 to 7 years at best. Not exactly timeless, but if put to good use, they can help our children become valuable members of society!

New Car

This is the last but most extravagant of the list! A car is a traditional graduation gift in the US and gained traction throughout the world in recent years. Nothing says: "You are an adult now more profoundly than passing the car keys of a brand new car to your child. This interesting gift is also a useful one as the new graduate will not have a hard time moving around in the city and going to his/her future job. Certainly a very practical, sentimental and unforgettable gift.
