Graduating from high school is a rite of passage, representing the transition from adolescence to adulthood. For most high school seniors, graduation may mean going to college and living away from home for the first time in their lives. Some may enter the job world.

Engraving the gifts with the recipient's name or initial, and date of graduation will add a personal touch and make the gift a keepsake.
