Is your son graduating from college with honors? Are you yet to choose what gift you will give him? If you are not yet sure what to get your son or daughter for his graduation day, read on.Choosing a gift might be a daunting task for some people.

And graduation gifts entail more functionality and usability.

So what should you give your son or daughter? If you are on a fixed budget, you might consider visiting a bookstore to buy a high-quality fountain pen or a Moleskine for your child. And you can pair it with a new handkerchief or card holder. Or you can try Macy's and buy a new coat and tie or a skirt and a blazer. All of these items are functional and can be used all throughout your child's corporate career. But they lack the pizzazz of an extraordinary graduation gift. These items cannot be differentiated from the normal gifts we give during birthdays and other special occasions.
For the honor student who labored hard throughout his college years, you might want to consider buying a car. I can already hear some hesitance on your part. But buying a car need not be expensive. It does not need to be a brand-new car. There are a lot of second-hand auto shops which sell quality cars for almost half the price. And you can also negotiate installment schemes according to your capabilities to pay for the car of your choice.
And when you are finished settling with the neighborhood auto shop owner, the next step is to find an auto insurance company which offers affordable insurance quotes. If your child is driving for the first time, he might be charged higher premiums because he still has no available driving records that can be assessed by the insurance company. But here is the good news! Because most car insurance companies offer discounts to students who maintain good grades in school, your honor student is most likely eligible for that discount.
By applying for a good grade discount, you are most likely to save a huge amount in paying monthly premiums. And when your child reaches the age of 25, monthly premiums are usually lowered for people in that age group.
Studies show that driving improves eye and hand coordination and thus improved a person's motor and cognitive skills. People who drive cars also have better concentration than non-drivers. And aside from these statistical conveniences, your new office worker will be able to avoid the nuisance of waiting for communal buses to arrive and ferry him to and from home. Moreover, if you have younger children, you could also reinforce good study habits on your youngsters who might demand the same gift from you after graduation.
So, are you ready to drop by a second hand auto shop now?
