Graduation Gift Ideas

Find Great Pen Turning Gifts
in My Workshop

Graduation marks the end of one adventure and the start of another. Graduation gift ideas should reflect that, but many of them don’t. The graduates in your life don’t need mass produced throwaway items as they start the next stage of their futures.

Instead, they need quality gifts that will last a lifetime. I’m happy to make them for you. Whether you want one of my stock pens, pencils, or wooden pencil boxes, or if you want to order something special, I am happy to be able to provide you with a quality gift option.

The actual moment of graduation can be overwhelming and zip past in a blur. By giving something that lasts, you'll be able to make a lingering impression on the graduates they know. When they use one of my handcrafted pens or boxes, they'll have a tangible reminder of both you and the occasion of their graduation.

Writing Instruments

Pen turning individual pens and pencils are useful graduation gift ideas that are also sophisticated and tasteful. Pen and pencil sets also allow you to give something elegant, professional, and useful to the graduates you know. Why should they start a new stage in their lives armed with nothing but cheap pens they’ve lifted from retail counters?

Providing a new graduate with quality writing instruments allows them to feel like they have a measure of control over the world around them. Let others fish around in their bags for a piece of plastic—they’ve got a real writing tool ready to go. For those leaving school to enter a professional career, having a “real” pen to use a work can help them to seem corporate and sophisticated in the business world.

Wooden Pencil Boxes

In addition to pens and pencils, you also have the option to give one of my wooden pencil boxes as a gift. These can serve as homes for the pens that you’ve given, or as storage items in their own right. However, unlike plastic bins or baggies, these boxes are attractive as well as functional.

Lifelong Tools

Whatever you choose for your graduation gift giving, you will know that when you give something that I’ve made, you're giving a lifelong tool. It’s one of the reasons looking here for graduation gift ideas is a smart choice. My workshop is full of tools that the graduates in your life can be using and enjoying long after their school days fade to distant memories.
