Thanks for mentioning it. </p> <p>I thought the traditional gift for a law school grad was a leather briefcase. Maybe a suit or gift certificate for a work/interview outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gift-for-masters-degree#post-1798511 Sat, 15 Apr 2017 18:11:12 +0000 Anonymous 1798511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are great bags. &nbsp;Did you know they can be washed in the washing machine? So great for travel. &nbsp;I like the gunmetal a lot!</p> <p>Now that the shower gift is sorted, I need to come up with something for my graduate - younger daughter will finish law school next month. &nbsp;Traditionally we have asked the girls to choose their own graduation gifts for college and grad school, but this time she is dropping absolutely NO hints. &nbsp;So I'm going to be re-reading this for some ideas. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gift-for-masters-degree#post-1798470 Sat, 15 Apr 2017 14:58:45 +0000 JAileen 1798470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Debora, Delurked, thanks. I'm glad you think it is a suitable gift. I kept coming back to it again and again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gift-for-masters-degree#post-1798379 Sat, 15 Apr 2017 06:37:01 +0000 Anonymous 1798379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JAileen - this seems like a great gift. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gift-for-masters-degree#post-1798327 Sat, 15 Apr 2017 01:33:46 +0000 Debora 1798327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great gift, JAileen! She'll love it. A big congratulations to her! :)</p> <p>Laurie, I've bought engraved bracelets at that very same Williamsburg shop for baby gifts. It's always a great gift idea. I've recently seen bracelets on Etsy with the special date engraved in Roman numerals. Same idea, just a little twist. Congratulations to Danny on his upcoming graduation and good luck with the thesis! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gift-for-masters-degree#post-1798124 Fri, 14 Apr 2017 17:24:32 +0000 JAileen 1798124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, I ordered something for her:</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/longchamp-large-le-pliage-tote/3241956?cm_mmc=email_tran-_-041417-_-order_confirm-_-proddescr1" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/lo.....proddescr1</a></p> <p>I've noticed that several fabbers like these Longchamp bags. This young woman, in addition to getting her master's in education, is also a world traveler. I thought this particular bag would be useful for toting papers or as a carryon bag. I ordered the gunmetal. And if she wants a different color, she can exchange it. I hope you think this is something special. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gift-for-masters-degree#post-1797838 Thu, 13 Apr 2017 20:42:18 +0000 JAileen 1797838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laurie, that's a lovely idea. Thank you.</p> <p>When my son graduated from college, I was taking a jewelry making class at our local junior college. I made him sterling silver cufflinks that were his initials, with the lost wax technique. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gift-for-masters-degree#post-1797819 Thu, 13 Apr 2017 20:11:21 +0000 Laurie 1797819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite graduation gift (or baby gift, or significant birthday gift) is a simple silver bracelet that can be engraved with the date and a message. I get mine in Williamsburg VA from the Master Craftsmen Shop :&nbsp;<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://mastercraftsmenshop.com/collections/sterling-silver-cuff-bracelets/products/1b-adult">https://mastercraftsmenshop.co.....s/1b-adult</a></p> <p>There are many types to choose from &nbsp;- the one above is the most popular. I got my first bracelet on our first visit to Williamsburg when I was 14. &nbsp;I have about 8 of them (assorted styles) commemorating Girls' Weekend with my Mom and sister, wedding, birthday etc.. &nbsp; I ended up going to college at the College of William &amp; Mary, and on May 13 will celebrate my oldest son's graduation from &nbsp;W&amp;M. &nbsp; He is defending an undergrad thesis on May 4 -- so, now what to get him?</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gift-for-masters-degree#post-1797767 Thu, 13 Apr 2017 16:51:00 +0000 JAileen 1797767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ryce, I've never heard of that brand before.

Thanks for the idea.</p> <p>Chewyspaghetti, that's another nice idea. Someone gave me a Cross pen when I passed my CPA. I loved it, it was so elegant. But then someone stole it at a conference. :(</p> <p>Jane, that's a very thoughtful idea.
