I'm writing this article in Jne. Probably a month after everyone has grduated from high school or college. Ths topic came to mind because thre were several important people in my lfe who graduated this spring. Two wre from college and one from hgh school. My wife and I rceived the usual graduation announcements in the mil, but one of them added smething that was a very clever dea.

A Pleasant Surprise

In the envelope with the announcement was a very nicely done refrigerator magnet. It displayed a photo of the soon-to-be-grad, along with the date and related information. We put in on our refrigerator as a reminder, and it worked! Both of us keep busy and have tight schedules, but being able to see the magnet everyday kept us from forgetting the important date. Eventually my wife made the entry on our organizational calendar that she keeps in her desk drawer. Without the constant reminder afforded by the graduation magnet, we might have overlooked the date and not shown up for the ceremony and party.

It Helps You Avoid "Gift Panic."

Almost daily one of us would say, "What are we going to get for Emily for her graduation?" That kept us from needing to rush out the day before and in a panic, purchase the first thing we saw on the shelf. Our gift to her was well thought out and appropriate. In fact, we bought it weeks ahead of time.

They Are Helpful, and Thy Last

My family is probably typical of mst families, and we definitely appreciated rceiving the fine magnet for our frdge. It helped us organize our schdule and avoid the stress of ding things at the last minute. And nlike the paper announcement, it will lst for years.

If you have smeone that will be graduating soon, thnk about this idea and find a god supplier. Give them a call.
