[Graduation Commemorative Gifts] For Teachers and Children! A Collection of Memorable Gift Ideas (51–60)
personalized handkerchief
Handkerchiefs with embroidered names on store-bought items make a highly recommended graduation gift from preschool or kindergarten.
Handkerchiefs are practical for everyday use, and seeing the embroidery will surely remind them of their nursery or kindergarten days.
If possible, include both the child’s name and the school’s name; if there are many graduates, just adding initials is also cute.
It’s a handmade item that’s not just for display but can be used for a long time—definitely something worth trying as a keepsake for the children.
water bottle
As a slightly unusual idea, how about giving a water bottle? A water bottle can be used not only at school but also for club activities and outings.
Among them, “drawing water bottles” have been attracting attention in recent years as graduation gifts.
These are products that print illustrations drawn on paper onto the surface of the bottle.
You could use drawings the children create in their daily lives, or have the teacher choose a theme for them to draw—both are lovely options.
There are several types of bottles to choose from, so pick one that will be easy for them to use.
colored pencil
Colored pencils are also a classic idea for a graduation gift.
If you’re giving them as a keepsake, choose something that feels special.
Opting for a set with around 36 colors offers a rich variety and will make drawing even more fun.
It’s also a great idea to personalize each pencil with the child’s name.
You can request a name engraving service, or create name labels to attach—both are lovely options.
Put your heart into the gift so the children can continue to enjoy drawing freely and creatively.
pencil
Pencils, which are used all the time in elementary school, are a classic choice for graduation keepsakes.
They’re affordable, easy to gift, and practical—another nice plus.
For preschool graduation gifts, it’s recommended to include the child’s name in a clear, readable design.
A type with an eraser attached, or pairing the pencils with an eraser or a pencil case, will likely be appreciated.
Since some elementary schools specify pencil hardness, be sure to check before placing your order.
Graduation Commemorative Gifts: Heartfelt Present Ideas (61–70) to Give to Teachers and Children
cutlery set
Cutlery that shines at mealtime.
Because it lets you look back on memories while eating every day, it’s also a great choice for a preschool graduation gift! With a set of spoon, fork, and chopsticks, it will come in handy at home or at events even after the child enters elementary school.
You can also design it with the nursery’s emblem or logo, or with the class motif.
If your budget allows, you can upgrade by adding a lunch plate or including the child’s name—both are lovely options.
Let’s create a fun mealtime experience.
clock
How about giving a tabletop clock as a token of the time you spent together? I especially recommend a clock with continuous wood grain.
Since it’s crafted from a single piece of wood, it’s an item that lets you feel connected to your friends.
It also has a one-of-a-kind, original feel and is practical, too.
It would look great in a child’s room or as a stylish accent in the living room.
There are several stores that sell them, so try looking up shops that catch your interest.
Perpetual calendar made with blocks
A great recommendation for a preschool graduation gift! Here’s a perpetual calendar made with building blocks.
Print the calendar on the blocks, and by rearranging them, you can use it as a perpetual calendar.
The rearranging itself is fun, too.
Once you assemble the calendar blocks, place a photo plate on the top to finish.
Besides a photo plate, you can also place a favorite character card or illustration of the graduate on top—it looks cute and is highly recommended.
Make your graduates happy with an original, custom calendar!
In conclusion
We’ve introduced a variety of ideas for graduation gifts and mementos for thank-you parties.
