Gifts for Grads

I've mentioned before how much I love e-readers - perfect for on-the-go, storing thousands of books and easy on the eyes. The Kobo Vox, which is only DESIGNED in Canada, but built in Asia, takes reading to a whole new level with the vivid 7" multimedia screen - it's a gorgeous colour screen and optimized for reading outdoors as well! This ideal travel companion is not only perfect for books, but also magazines and newspapers. You can also connect with other readers via Facebook! Any grad in your life would make good use of this, personalize it with the wide array of colours to choose from as well.

Diane Balit, a Buy Canadian First member, paints miniatures on enamelled copper using delicate feathers and very fine brushes, which is then fired in high temperature ovens to create absolutely gorgeous watches. What a perfect grad gift and something to cherish for years to come.

Buy Canadian First member SIMS Jewelry Co. makes a gorgeous jewellery set - this 30mm ravishing ring incorporated with black glass ovals and semi-precious large ovals of spider agate. They've also created a matching bracelet and earrings. What a beautiful set for a new grad, something to wear to a new job or college next fall and something to enjoy for years.

A Deerskin Journal from Buy Canadian First member Deliciously Canadian would make a treasured gift. It won't break the bank and would be a gift your grad would be proud to take to their new job or use for a new year of school.

Do you have a graduate in your life this Spring?
