Graduation Commemorative Gifts: Heartwarming Present Ideas (41–50) to Give to Teachers and Children
Jigsaw puzzle
How about turning memorable photos from kindergarten or nursery school into a jigsaw puzzle? A jigsaw puzzle you can display and enjoy even after playing is wonderful—your child can have fun with the puzzle while reminiscing about those happy times! You can use group or individual photos taken as keepsakes, or of course casual everyday snapshots work too.
It might also be nice to gift a photo frame or panel for displaying the finished puzzle.
Recommended for anyone looking for a unique and lovely keepsake.
[Graduation Commemorative Gifts] For Teachers and Children! A Collection of Memorable Gift Ideas (51–60)
towel
A towel is a classic commemorative gift and appealing for its practicality.
For a preschool graduation memento, we recommend a small hand towel that’s easy for children to carry and fits neatly into a pocket.
Artwork drawn by the children with crayons or markers makes a wonderful design that brings back memories of their early years, so be sure to consider it.
Adding motifs related to their nursery or kindergarten days will also give it a special, one-of-a-kind feel.
Let’s give a towel that can serve as a little good-luck charm, accompanying them as they grow along with the memories of their school life.
tote bag
In recent years, tote bags have become a must-have for shopping.
They’re very handy, so they make a welcome graduation gift from kindergarten, too! It can be tricky to decide on a design, but we recommend keeping it simple so it can be used as a lesson bag for after-school activities or as a shopping bag as the child grows.
Using the class motif or illustrations drawn by the children would also be wonderful.
Give a tote bag that combines both memories and practicality.
Photo frame
If you place a cherished photo in a flower-filled photo frame, it becomes a lovely gift that brightens up a study desk or room! Photos and albums tend to get tucked away, but by setting them in a photo frame, families can display memories from nursery or kindergarten where children and parents can see them anytime.
With preserved flowers, the colors won’t fade, so they can be enjoyed for a long time.
Choose your child’s best shot—one that lifts the spirits just by looking at it, even on a sad day!
pen holder
When children enter elementary school, there are more situations where they study.
How about giving them a pen holder as a tool to keep their writing instruments like pencils and erasers together? There are many products with clever storage features, so let’s find one that kids will love.
Of course, you’ll want to pay attention to the material and color, but choosing a stylish design that you won’t find at a typical stationery store would also be wonderful.
Give them an easy-to-use pen holder that makes them naturally reach for a pencil, and help them enjoy a fun school life.
mug
Let’s give a mug as a graduation gift.
It’s not only practical, but also a special keepsake that brings back memories with just a glance each day! Designs featuring the children’s photos, drawings, or handprints are recommended, as you can look back later and see how much they’ve grown.
Mugs are items that children can continue to use even after they become adults, so it’s nice that they can enjoy them for a long time.
And when they grow up, they can also display the mug as a memento.
Caricature button badge

Buttons printed with each child’s portrait will likely become a lifelong keepsake.
They’re easy to make—just print the portraits painted with acrylics or similar materials using a button-making machine, and you’re done.
Boys can wear them on hats, and girls can attach them to bags, so there’s a good chance they’ll keep them on even after starting elementary school.
It’s a handmade item that lasts and will remind them of their preschool or kindergarten every time they see it, so give it a try.
