Grad Gift for A Servicewoman?

Hello H!

I have a very dear family friend who is graduating early from high school this January and promptly entering into the armed services.  I would like to get her a very special graduation present, but I'm not sure what an appropriate gift is for some one who will be forever in fatigues, with no room for anything materialistic for at least five years. 

Any ideas?

Thanks,

C

C,

How about dressing up a practical item she can take with her and you know she will use?  A pen.

A stylish high-end pen isn’t just for high-powered executives in corner offices. Any serviceman or servicewoman will treasure an item that can set them apart from the standard Army-issued provisions. 

A smart tip:  ballpoints will be easier to handle on-the-go than fountain pens. Ballpoint pens from brands like Cross range from as little as $15 to over $100.  Most can also be engraved for a small additional cost with a message reminding her that she is making you proud.

An added bonus:  now she has a way to write home with updates!  

 Cross Classic Century Ballpoint, $40 (engraving: $8)

Function and form,

H*
