Class of 2007


The 2007 graduation season is fast approaching and if there is a soon-to-be graduate in your life, chances are you will need to shop for a graduation gift. While giving cash is a traditional option, there are also other creative choices that can add a personalized touch to your gift.

Think Usefulness
Most graduates are about to undergo a major transition in their lives, be it from high school to college or from college into the working world. Items that make this transition easier are always a good idea.

At Shara’s Paperie, look for…



Budder Buckets-galvanized steel buckets covered in colorful fabrics, these sturdy & decorative containers have literally hundreds of uses.

Beaded Acrylic Stationery Sets-Whether leaving a note, writing a quick phone message, or jotting down the latest great idea, having paper handy is always useful. These stationery sets can be personalized for an added touch.

Maude Asbury Magnetized Message Boards­-Available in two sizes and covered in bright, trendy fabrics, these boards make great additions to any dorm room or apartment.


















Space is an Issue
Most new graduates will be moving into apartments or dorms where space will be an issue. Try giving a graduate items that can maximize the space they have and make it seem more "home-like” at the same time.

Photo albums-especially smaller ones like 3 Marthas albums which hold many photos without taking up lots of space.

Tigo drawing kit-great for the artist or doodler, this pocket sized, suede bound kit comes with a palm-sized sketch pad, colored pencils, and a pencil sharpener.

Magnets-magnets are a great way to create hanging space where it didn’t exist before. Pair with a magnetized message board, or place on a refrigerator to hang photos and messages from home.





Thank You, Thank You, Thank You
Most graduates will be receiving many gifts to celebrate their graduation. Providing them with customized stationery will ensure they can send their Thank-You’s and will even help them keep in touch if they are moving away for school or work.
