Letters of encouragement

Often, the most memorable graduation gifts aren’t the most expensive, but those with the most meaning. Give your graduate a set of notebooks or journals made from reused paper and cardboard so they can be ready for the first day of class. Surprise them by filling one notebook or journal with letters of encouragement from family, friends, neighbors and teachers. These notes can be filled with shared memories, advice and best wishes for their future plans. Whatever words these letters hold will be treasured forever.
