Earning a degree marks an important achievement for high school, college, and graduate school students across the country. Whether the graduation is held in a large arena or you make a toast to an online announcement, these unique gifts will help your graduate celebrate this milestone.

1. Throw a graduation party — Final exams, projects, and thesis defenses mean your graduate probably hasn’t stopped to consider how to celebrate. Consider the type of event your graduate would appreciate most. Introverts might prefer a small gathering with friends or even a nice dinner at home in a spotless kitchen. Other grads might want to party with the whole neighborhood to commemorate their newfound freedom. Take the stress out of planning any event by finding local help for decorating, delivery, lawn care, pressure washing, cleaning, and hourly work.

2. Have your own ceremony via livestream — A report by the Babson Survey Research Group found that online university enrollment has consistently grown every year for more than a decade. Online classes offer the flexibility to balance a hectic schedule in an increasingly busy world. Online courses rarely have traditional graduation ceremonies, but that’s no reason not to celebrate an outstanding achievement. If the program offers a live-streamed graduation ceremony, have your TV mounted and wi-fi upgraded and host a watch party!

3. Have their house spruced up — You know with all the craziness of finishing that degree your college or graduate student hasn’t had a lot of time to keep their place tidy. They might be in desperate need of an apartment cleaning, have junk to haul away, walls to be painted, lawn mowing to do, a yard in need of serious TLC, or a number of odd jobs that have gone neglected too long. Take the pressure off them by booking local home services.

4. Help them move out of the dorm — If your student is moving out of the dorm, they could use an extra set of hands. Find fast, local help for packing, loading, and moving. You can also book local junk removal to have disposable items hauled away with no need to find a truck.

5. Have flowers and cards delivered — Want to make sure your congratulations are delivered at the perfect moment? Choose the time you want your delivery to arrive with Takl’s delivery services. Know when your Provider has arrived with updates through the Takl app. No chance of your gifts getting lost in the mail!
