Default graduation present

I am looking for some of the decent ideas regularly sprouted by some snetters

Basically I need a present to give my girlfriend after her graduation ceremony.

I have already booked us into a nice hotel for that evening, and will be paying for all festivities, I am looking for a present and have no idea what to get.

She wants an ipod for christmas, so thats one idea shot. I cant get her undies as the dress shes is wearing for the dance that night - well pretty much she wont be able to wear anything under that. She doesnt need any more jewellery (spelling), she has just come back from NY with a new Gucci bag....

So does anyone have an idea for a gift that would be something she could keep for a long time and show people (no sex toys )

Any help would be appreciated

Cheers

hhhmm thats a tricky one

If you get her the i-pod now you'll be stuck for christmas then!

I had a SLR camera for my graduation. That was 5 years ago and I use it all the time. Would she like something like that?

What price range are we thinking of here?

We have local artist exibitions here sometimes and I always think how lovely it would be to have an original painting. Or what about a limited edition print.
Maybe a landscape of a place you both like or something abstract and modern?

What kind of job will she be doing?
Will she need a briefcase?

hhmmm still thinkin......

I know she has jewellery but what about something different?
Have you heard of Welsh Gold? That would be very special.

I think it would be nice to have something that will last but there is always a pamper day option?

Hope that is some help

on the Welsh gold, there is a great jewellers in Ludlow who do very nice commission work - I'd be very happy to get something from them!!

fitz,

how about:

1. A professional video of her graduation ceremony (unless already past)

what has she graduated in? can you buy her something that relates to her field of work?

Thanks for the ideas all

She got a first in business specialising in marketing.

Unfortunately things like attache cases and well any decent leather goods are out, because thats what I do for a living...she would thing me a tight bastrd

I thought about paying for some health treatments while we were at the hotel but, she wont have the time to have them done.

I will have to chat with her mates see what they think...

Keep em coming
