Graduation rings
There are plenty of things that people think to get kids when they graduate from high school. Some give money, and most kids love that, and others even give trips or even cars. However, if you want to do something special for your children, either above and beyond another gift or perhaps instead of, you can look into getting them graduation rings. These are not something most think about, but they can be great gifts. Most think of the class ring to be the gradation type rings, but that does not have to be the case for everyone.
Some kids get class rings, and those are great for remembering high school, but graduation rings can be something else if that is what you want. They are meant to symbolize the transition in life from high school (or college) into a different part of life. Graduation rings will be something that a child can wear that reminds them of the people who love them as they move on in the world. Sometimes, that little bit of reassurance of being loved and cherished can make a huge difference in their success.
Some consider the class ring and the graduation rings to be the same thing, and there is nothing wrong with that. However, many love these class rings in high school, but don't like to wear them beyond that. You will notice very few people who actually have these on at all after they have left high school and moved on to something else. If you would like the class and graduation rings to be something that might be the same, but worn longer in life, look for the less traditional design when buying.
If you don't want your graduation rings to resemble class rings, you can get just about anything you want. It doesn't matter as long as the ring is something the child will love to wear. You can find them made very simply with a stone, name and year, or you can get something very ornate. Spend enough to be sure the ring will last though, no matter what you choose. You don't want something that will turn green on the finger, or that might break within a few years. No matter which way you want to go, graduation rings are always fun, and they are certainly something that will be a welcome gift for most kids. Even if they don't wear them, you can bet they will keep them for a very long time to come.
