As Plymouth North and South high school seniors prepare to embark on a new chapter of their lives, on Graduation Day, June 4, and college seniors begin coming home with a degree to work on their résumés, nothing is more priceless than photographs that document their new journey. In order to take the pictures that will one day embarrass their children, new graduates will need a digital camera. Gift-seekers can find a wide variety of cameras at Walmart on Colony Place Road and BJ’s Wholesale Club in the Shops at Five. From pocket-sized models to professional SLR devices, shoppers will have plenty of options
A pile of graduation gifts would be incomplete without at least one copy of Oh, the Places You Will Go, by Dr. Seuss. Whether students are planning on going off to college or embarking on the job search, this short story is an adorable reminder of the open and unpredictable futures that lie ahead of them. Luckily, Hallmark Cards and Gifts on Colony Place Road stocks the book that is sure to bring a tear to a graduate’s eye.
Looking for a gift for a special female graduate? Daisy Riley Clothing and Accessories has some great ideas. At this small boutique on Water Street, gift-seekers can find Pandora bracelets. Whether individuals are looking for a girl’s first bracelet or a graduation-themed charm to add to her old collection, they can find a wide selection at Daisy Riley’s. The store also sells Vera Bradley duffle bags, which are stylish and practical accessories for girls who are going off to college next year.
As the fall approaches, students will be shopping for unique decorations for their future dorm rooms or apartments. Windemere on Main Street has plenty of funky and original items for these graduates. At this location, shoppers can find colorful, star-shaped paper lights, as well as unique wall decorations that will spruce up any new living space.
High school graduations are simply not complete without a bouquet of flowers for the new grad. The new twist on this traditional custom is Edible Arrangements, which is located on Middle Street. At this store, family and friends can purchase bouquets of blossoming fruit that will be a tasty addition to any grad party.
