Christian Graduate Gifts
- Faith is important to Christians during the transition that comes with a graduation.Jesus Christ image by Dmytro Korniyenko from Fotolia.com
Graduating from school---whether it be middle school, high school, college, or graduate school--means moving on to a new stage of life. This time of transition presents many challenges and struggles, making it a time when Christians want to remain strong in their faith. There are many excellent Christian and Christianity-themed gifts from which to choose for your new graduate. - Jewelry is always a popular graduation gift, particularly for female graduates, and there are endless styles of Christian-themed jewelry available from which to choose. A simple cross necklace is a safe bet for many, although a piece of jewelry engraved with a special Bible verse or Psalm also makes an excellent graduation gift.
- A new Bible is an obvious graduation gift for a Christian student, and is a wonderful option. However, there are also many different books that have been written by Christians, aimed at helping Christian students with the transitions and changes they can expect to face post-graduation. Jonathan Morrow's 'Welcome to College: A Christian's Guide for the Journey' is an ideal option for a high school graduate facing the trials and tribulations of college. For a less age-specific option, check out '199 Favorite Bible Verses for Grads.'
- Most graduating students aren't likely to have an extensive art collection with which to decorate their next apartment or dorm room, so an inspirational piece of art or a framed Bible verse can make for the perfect graduation gift. Your graduate will be reminded of you, as well as of his Christian faith, whenever he looks at his new wall decoration.
- As your graduate prepares to move onto the next stage of her life, a lot of new questions and uncertainties can come to light. For this reason, a journal is a very special graduation gift. Writing is, for many, a therapeutic exercise, and your graduate will appreciate having a new journal in which to record her thoughts, feelings, and experiences as she moves forward in her Christian life.
