- Buy graduation gifts in bulk.graduation image by timur1970 from Fotolia.com
If you are looking for a graduation gift to give to many students--such as those you know through a school group or an university organization--consider buying the gifts in bulk. When you buy wholesale graduation gifts, you may be able to get a significant discount on the price per item. Bulk orders often require that you purchase more than 50 or 100 items. Sometimes, however, you can get a discount for ordering 10 or 20 items. - Graduates are going to get lots of "swag" during their graduation week. Purchase memory boxes at wholesale prices and present them to your graduates. They will be able to use the boxes to store graduation ceremony programs, cap tassels, photographs, dried flowers from the bouquet someone gave them and any other small, memorable item that is fragile and needs the protection.
- Purchase charms to go on a charm bracelet or to slip on a necklace chain. You can chose from a variety of graduation symbols, including the graduating class year, diploma and mortarboard. You also can choose the finish or the metal the charm is made from--such as sterling silver or 14-carat gold--depending on your budget. Purchase charms at wholesale prices through an online jewelry vendor.
- Buy wholesale frames that your graduates can use for photographs of themselves in their cap and gown and photographs of friends. You can purchase these frames from online vendors. Choose a graduation-themed frame that you like, such as one that displays a "Congratulations" message at the bottom of the frame.
