Helping the Graduate Get Organized for the Next Stage of Life: Graduation Gift Ideas from DayTimers

DayTimers releases the best gift ideas for graduates as they move on to college or wherever else life may take them.

Lehigh Valley, PA (PRWEB) May 3, 2007 -- DayTimers has recently released the best gift ideas for graduates as they move on to college or wherever else life may take them.

Most college acceptance letters have been received, resumes are in the process of being sent out, and graduates all over the country are preparing for their next stage in life. With the uncertainty of what comes next, family and friends can help graduates celebrate their accomplishments and prepare for what's next -- whether it be college or a first job.

"Organization is perhaps the best gift you can give graduates as they begin to transition into a new phase of life," commented Maria Woytek, DayTimers Time Management Expert. "Starting a new chapter is overwhelming for anyone at any age. DayTimers has the right tools to help get your graduate ready and organized."

No doubt the graduate will find a day planner to be helpful in beginning this next step. DayTimer planners come with "beauty and brains," as the sleek designs are fashionable, but offer the utmost function as a day planner. Planners come in a variety of styles --'she' will love the Malibu Leather Binder, (http://day-planner.daytimer.com/Covers/leather/Malibu-Snap-Tab-WalletCom) available in black, red, plum and new for spring, nautical blue; and 'he' will enjoy the Distressed Leather Binder (http://day-planner.daytimer.com/Covers/leather/Journal-Distressed-Leathe), in dark tan. DayTimer planner pages feature many options: 1-Page-Per-Day, 2-Page-Per-Day or 2-Page-Per-Week.

Whether beginning the next phase of life in a dorm or a new apartment, the grad will need tasteful and trendy organization and storage options. The Darby Collection (http://personal-organization.daytimer.com/storage-boxes/Darby-CD-Box/0/f)--new for spring--offers and up-to-date look for organization that is heavy duty, yet stylish with a natural linen cover, accented with brown leather. The collection includes a Letter Box, Magazine File, Media Box and Hanging File Box.

The college student and the young professional will have at least this in common: they will be ordering lots of take out. As the menus slid under the door and left in the mailbox begin to pile up, it's easy for them to take over the kitchen, yet impossible to find once wanted. The TakeOut Menu Organizer (http://personal-organization.daytimer.com/Home-Organizers/Take-Out-Menu-) keeps menus neat and available. The tabbed binder makes it easy to organize menus by cuisine, or even by which places are good and which ones are just ok.

For the graduates moving in with a roommate, helping them to utilize good communication skills with their new roomie is a gift for which they'll be grateful. The DayTimers Message Center (http://personal-organization.daytimer.com/home-organizers/Message-Center)has a calendar to help keep track of whose turn it is to clean the bathroom. The note section is perfect for reminders or phone messages.
