Looking for something practical for your graduate this year? Why not gift him or her with a “Let’s Stay in Touch” kit? Yes, there’s an easily recognizable ulterior motive attached, but we think your grad will forgive you, and you just might be helping establish a good pattern for the future.
We know your favorite graduate will have a lot of things on the “to-do” list once they are settled in a college dorm room, working at that hard-won internship, or living on their own for the first time. Putting together a system that makes it easy to remember birthdays, anniversaries, and special events, and send a note of congratulations or thank you, can help your graduate stay on top of details they want to remember. And, it just might mean you get an occasional card or postcard as well.
There are several ways to go when it comes to setting up a system; boxes, canvas organizers, large plastic envelopes, even spiral bound notebooks. Here are a few suggestions to get you started, but you can mix and match to create something all your own.
- Plastic Envelope Organizers. These vintage pink flowers snap folders or wallpaper patterns snap folders are simple and easy to use. Offering protection for your paperwork in sturdy, envelope-style plastic folders with snap closures, this beautiful and practical set contains eight individual folders. Use one for special events each quarter (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter), and have four more to organize other paperwork like bills or research papers.
- Organizer Books. These books are great for remembering special days, with monthly pocket pages that can be pre-loaded with cards to use for each month. (Yes, mom and dad, you’re allowed to make a helpful note on the page for your birthday month!)
- Vintage Organizer Box. These hardy boxes store 140+ greeting cards for every occasion, and come with 12 dividers, 24 self-stick labels, and come in a variety of patterns. Choose from floral, mosaic, or vintage wallpaper designs. Or choose a more streamlined method and pick up a colorful flowers desk organizer box, and fill it with a metal desk organizer tray, a few cards, postcards, stickers, labels, notepads, and pens.
- Desk Top Organizers. Whether you choose a classic black organizer with front accessory pockets, a racy red desk caddy with side pockets, a colorful canvas desk organizer, or even a canvas bedside organizer (let’s face it, sometimes we don’t remember the things we meant to do that day until we hit the hay!), these organizers are sturdy yet light weight, and fold easily for storage and travel.
