For the Pre-School Grad:

For the pre-schooler, we love the fun and educational Scotchi matching games. Each set comes with a colorful play board and pieces that velcro into place. This includes Super Market Pieces, Farm Animals, Clock out of Box, and Girls Dress Up - all of which encourages creativity, improves small motor skills and it’s a great game to play with others or alone.

For the Kindergarten Grad:

For kindergarten grads we love educational kits and books to foster learning throughout the summer. One of our favorites is Green Kid Crafts, a mom-owned, eco-friendly creativity and science kit subscription service for kids ages 3-10. Launched in 2010 and one of the first kid’s activity box companies, they develop open-ended creativity and science kits that exercise kids’ creativity, build confidence, and engage kids with the world around them. This includes fun kits that foster a love of unplugged creativity that facilitates creativity, learning, tactile development, and interaction with parent/caregiver.

We also love tactile and engaging gifts. One of our favorites is Beach Stamps, a fun way to leave hand and food impressions in the sand. This includes cleverly designed, square-shaped impression stamps that come in a variety of creative designs that can be strapped to hands or feet for endless fun at the beach.Beach STAMPS also kids to stamp pictures, create patterns, play interactively and design their own unique scenes on the largest canvas in the world – a shoreline’s beach – as well as their favorite play area sandbox. Durable, non-toxic, comfortable, and easy to clean, Beach STAMPS launches with seven theme packs featuring 6-8 stamps in a rainbow of bright colors, along with a larger 15-stamp Variety pack. The seven themes include: Fantasy, Cowboy, Space, Interactive, Animals, and Fun Shapes. Pricing is $12.95 each theme pack, and $15.95 for the variety pack.

As for books, we love the recently re-release by Parragon of Wish Upon a Dream and The Good Little Bad Little Pig by Margaret Wise Brown. Wish Upon a Dream, a beautiful journey into the world of dreams, follows a magical bedtime world of favorite dreams. My daughters love reading this book at night as we see and learn from Brown’s beautiful dream world. We also love The Good Little Bad Little Pig as it tells the story of Peter who wants a perfect little pig for a pet. This engaging story teaches children about the rewards of being good.

For the grade-schooler that loves to cook, we love Kidstir.com. With a mission to make cooking fun for kids, the KidStir kits are designed to educate kids on all aspects of real food- origins, selection, culture, cooking, sharing, appreciation, and more- in a super fun way. This includes complete cooking kits with fun recipe ideas that they can make on their own or with their parents.

For the High School Graduate:

A fun piece for High School grads is the sterling silver Graduation Diploma Charm from Fortunoff Jewelry with an engraved “DIPLOMA.” It also comes with a 17.5 inch sterling silver chain. 

Before your grad heads off into the next step of his life, invest in the perfect graduation gift to keep high school memories safe forever with the the LyveHome. The LyveHome is the solution to all of your photo storing problems. Delete no more, and have peace of mind with an easy answer to organize and protect all those pre-grad photos.

Another way to update your grads wardrobe is with Twenty Five Bedford, the ultimate destination for chic, work-appropriate staples, founded by Keri Ferry in the spring of 2014. As a former financier, Ferry left her job in private equity and set out to fill the void for a wearable, stylish brand that catered to today’s working woman.  With her passion for quality design combined with her frustration with the lack of innovation in the existing marketplace, she created a brand that strictly offers modern styles and silhouettes available in quality fabrics and endless color variations. Inspired by Ferry’s time of work at a previous job in London, Twenty Five Bedford fuses the incomparable sophistication of the British working woman with an air of effortless style.  Ferry found herself motivated by the notion that women utilize only 20% of their closet 80% of the time, building the foundation of the collection off of fit, function and fashion. This includes skirts, blazers, dresses and blouses in classic shapes, meant to flatter women of all sizes, with the price ranging from $135-$255. Twenty Five Bedford is produced in New York City and offered exclusively online at www.25Bedford.com.

Older grads will also love the Action Cam SP1 from Kodak . Great for travel and celebrating, this fun and lightweight camera is waterproof (up to 32 feet), shockproof up to 6.5 ft, dustproof and freezeproof as it offers a full HD 1080p Video and a crisp LCD display. It also has a wireless connection and seamless connection to the free Kodak PIXPRO app, so you can use as a viewfinder and playback.
