3 Ways to Make Commence! Your Extra-Perfect Graduation Gift

This probably goes without saying, but graduation is a big deal! The hats, the gowns, the familiar notes of “Pomp and Circumstance”—it’s all so optimistic and exciting. The big question is: what makes the perfect gift for such a pivotal occasion? 


As the author of Commence! Concise Advice for the Next Adventure of Life, I crafted this book as a beacon of wisdom and practical guidance for young adults poised on the brink of life's next grand chapter. I hope it will be the graduation gift of choice, year after year, for people wanting to impart that wisdom to their graduates.


With that in mind, here are three innovative ways to weave Commence! into your graduation presents, making that extra-perfect gift every graduate with be glad to receive.


Add Some Cash

Let's face it—graduates can always use extra cash for tuition, textbooks, or fun. An elegant way to include money in your gift is by tucking it inside the pages of Commence!. This subtle inclusion not only provides a practical resource for the graduate but also symbolizes your unwavering support. Every time they leaf through the book, they are reminded of your encouragement and belief in their potential.


Make It Personal

Elevate Commence! by inviting those closest to the graduate to inscribe heartfelt messages, well wishes, and words of wisdom on the book's interior cover. Family members, friends, mentors, and teachers can contribute their thoughts, transforming the book into a cherished keepsake brimming with love and encouragement. This personalized touch not only adds sentimental value but also serves as a poignant reminder of the community that has shaped the graduate's journey so far.


Create a College Care Basket

Imagine the joy of receiving a gift basket filled with essentials for the college-bound graduate—cozy bedding, snacks, toiletries, or snacks. Now imagine their surprise when they find Commence! nested among these items. Not only does it add a thoughtful touch to the gift basket, but it also provides invaluable advice to help navigate undergrad life. (Or, for a college graduate, you can make it an “adulting” care basket, or a “career launch” basket—you get the picture.)


Giving is about expressing love, support, and belief in someone's potential. Gift Commence! and inspire your beloved graduates to embark confidently on their next big adventure. Their future commences here!
