Honor your favorite graduate with a graduation ornament.

Ornaments have become one of the most popular gifts for every occasion and paying tribute to the graduate on your list is no exception. You can choose from the Bronners book ornament as a reminder of all of the hours it took to achieve the degree. The personalized double sided ornament from Mandy’s Moon is a clever way to mark how far the gift recipient has come in his or her life or you might want to go for the “cute” with the teddy bear ornament from OrnamentShop.

Most ornament companies offer free personalization which adds more meaning to any gift. Personalized graduate ornaments can be “stand alone” gifts or you can add the ornaments to your gift package instead of a bow, or even attach them to the bow. Another idea instead of the bow is to cut 1/4″ by 8″ strips of wrapping paper and curl them with scissors just like you would a ribbon. Grab and pinch the strips in the middle and attach your ornament with the ornament hanger. Affix the whole thing to the wrapped package with clear tape.

More and more, people are giving ornaments instead of greeting cards. If you are giving a monetary gift, you could roll the money like a diploma and wrap the ornament hanger around the bills. Russell Rhodes offers the blown glass diploma ornament to represent the hard won certificate and this personalized ornament comes in a nice gift box. The red graduation cap from Sundance Designs could be used as a mirror or wall decoration as well as on the gift package. Calliope Designs has created the clay dough schoolhouse ornament which can be personalized for a boy or a girl. The adorable little mouse graduate is an original design by Cheryl’s Creations and all of their ornaments are handcrafted from colorful polymer clay using no molds or paints.

Whether your grad is finishing kindergarten or receiving their PHD, you will want to choose a graduation ornament to mark the important day and show them how proud you are.
