With Mother’s Day past, Give Simple’s thoughts turn to Graduation and Teacher’s Gifts. We have lots of great items for these occasions. My favorite for graduation women is Dogeared Wish Necklaces. I sent my own niece one last year, and she LOVED it. The necklaces are something they will actually wear, and the sentiments are so well written. My second favorite is Lug Travel. Whether it’s car or airline travel, the Nap Sac pillow and blanket combo or the Puddle Jumper Overnight/Gym bag are so practical and will come in very handy for the traveler.

Girls are always easier than guys. I think for high school guys, Lappers from the college they will attend would be really cool. These non slip dining trays would be very useful for dorm rooms. For college grads, the stainless steel wallet gets my vote. Sleek and contemporary accessories make a great commemorative for this life achievement.

I think teachers may deserve more thanks than people in any other profession. Their work is challenging and so important, yet they are generally poorly compensated. Just the situation that make a small Thank You Gift even more precious!! For teachers, Wild & Wolf water bottles go to the head of the class! New, different, pretty and practical. Love the gardening tools also, but not as universal as the water bottles. Another fabulous choice – Lollia Hand Crème. I think it is so impressive to give the big tube for desk or home, plus the tiny tube to slip in the handbag! Everyone who has tried this product adores it. For male teachers, the stainless steel V pouchis a nice small token.

With all bases covered for the end of the school year, can Father's Day be far behind?
