Graduation Gift for Finac!.....

Options
Hi everyone,

My partner & I graduate at the end of next month and I am really struggling for an idea of what to buy him..

We are both mature students and completed our study distance learning over the last 4 years while working full time.

I have been quite ill over this time, so he has had to look after me too. We are also the only ones in our respective families to graduate so I think he deserves a gift of some kind to mark the occassion.

He is a real nightmare to buy for (like most men!) and has everything he needs. I also bought him a fancy pen a few years ago when he was promoted at work.

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly received, thanks muchly!
:) Xx

    Not sure what a finac is?

    As for the gift, do you want something he can keep or some sort of experience to remember?

    Lol - I wrote fiance but for some reason the title didn't like the accent over the e- and now it won't let me change the title!!

    I would like the gift to be meaningful and something he could hold onto over the years.
  • How about his graduation photo? Or if you're already doing this, then a nice frame to display it in?

    My brother and I received graduation teddies - quite cute and definitely a keep factor.

    Does he wear jewellery at all? Maybe a gold chain or something?
    It's difficult with men, they don't usually like the commemorative nick nacks that we women often do
