Printable Graduation Gift Card Book

In the past, we created the Graduation Gift Book for my daughter’s friends who were headed to college. Now that my kids and their friends are graduating from college, I decided to create a Graduation Gift Card Book that would be flexible enough to use for high school or college graduates.

Why Is a Graduation Gift Card Book A Good Gift To Give?

A Graduation Gift Card Book allows you to customize the pages for the graduate and your budget! It is a creative way to give cash and gift cards that’s a bit more exciting than a simple graduation card with cash inside. If you’d rather not use this gift card book but still want to give cash in an interesting way, check out this Grad Cash – Money Gift For Graduation.

What Do The Pages Say?

Frequently Asked Questions

I have included 24 gift/cash pages for you to pick and choose from so you can make it a personalized gift with the gift cards you think the graduate will like best. A few of the cards might be more appropriate from a parent, like the bill or chore break pages. But many pages would work great with a $10 gift card or cash. So, if you use the cover page, congrats letter, word search, and coloring page, you are starting with four pages that don’t require a gift card or cash! Then, you can add as many gift card pages as your budget allows. (I would suggest using at least three gift card pages.)

I have created quite a few full color gift card books, however, my most popular so far is the Newlywed Gift Card Book which is also done in black and white. I think people like the simplicity of black and white and it gives them a chance to color in the clipart with colored pencils to personalize it even further or to print it on color paper like kraft card stock.

Although the cover page and a few of the gift card pages would work for these age groups, this Graduation Gift Card Book is geared toward high school and college graduates. Many of the sayings are specific to those age groups and adulting. For example: when you need fast food because adulting is exhausting or when responsibilities in the form of a bill show up because adulthood is real now. However, a few of the pages are a bit more generic like: when staying in is the best plan for a rainy day and pajamas are better than any plans or when you want a good book because getting lost in a story is the best.
