Unicorn Books Gives Gift Ideas for Ramona Grads

As the school year winds down, kids of all ages will graduate and move on to various things: first grade, high school, college. So how do you show your congratulations and pride for your grad? Unicorn Gifts and Books has a couple ideas for all types of graduating youth.

All items listed can be found at Unicorn Books at 738 Main Street. Most items range from $10-$20.

For the Kindergarten Grad
Buy a classic book, like Walter the Farting Dog or The Ladybug Girl, and purchase the accompanying stuffed animal with it—bonus reading partner and snuggle buddy!

For the 6th Grade Grad
Proof that science can be fun to the tweens with fun projects like Pop Bottle Rocket and Potato Chip Science. We won't tell if you end up enjoying the science fun, too.

For the 8th Grade Grad (girl)
Unicorn Books and Gifts carries cute, silver charms that help punctuate what makes you unique. Sing in choir? Sport a treble clef! Have an addiction to Starbucks? Carry a latte around your neck. Is cheerleading your passion? There's a charm for that.

For the High School Grad (with a sense of humor)
The Naked Roommate by Harlan Cohen is a how-to guide for college-bound teens, full of valuable advice (i.e. money-managing) and humorous stories that will make your college experience either very relatable, or a breath of fresh air.

For the High School Grad (who's a bit unsure)
Sure, college is scary: you're afraid from mom and dad, on your own for your first time, sometimes in a new city. But Debbie Ford's Courage is here to help you through it all. An inspiring book for all aspects of life, this one might help your college-bound kid feel a bit better about their unknown future.

For the College Grad
You've graduated college with an art degree... now what?? If your college grad has graduated and is in the panic stages of finding a job, buy them Make Good Art, the commencement speech given to graduating art students at the Philadelphia University by bestselling author Neil Gaiman. College grads might be breathing a bit easier and walking a bit lighter after this read.

For Grads of All Ages
The most popular grad gift is one very famous book: Oh, the Places You'll Go! by San Diego's Dr. Seuss. Its timeless message rings true for graduates of all ages: “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.”
