Look Pready... I don't understand what is you problem. The other ones are gone I can't view them for some reason! If you don't like it, then look at them!

This is $70:
Architect Style Clamp-On Base Desk Lamp - #72867 | LampsPlus.com

- A gift certificate to Staples or Target.
- A desk set you compile yourself, with trays, wastebasket, and all kinds of post-it notes and pens.
- An offer to pay for a custom business sign for her door or building, if she is going to hang out a shingle.
- A vase you pick out yourself, with flowers sent once a month for a year.

Thank you Joypulv. This does help a lot, but you see she lives in another country, I shouldve mentiones that, so it needs to be something I can send out there. :/

WHAT COUNTRY?

Tell you what, send her something small like jewelry that has nothing to do with her business.

Argentina. I could do that too, but I kinda want to give her something related to her new career, you know? I was told maybe like a graphic kit, but i dont know where i can find that :/

Size matters. You will spend more on shipping than the kit itself. She probably already has the basics that you would get in a kit anyway. A kit is something you would buy as she enters school, not graduate.

Given how far away she is, I would ask her what she wants. A big online supplier is Blick.com.

It just depends on how well you know her and your relationship to her. As well as her tastes and how much you can afford.

You could buy her a building in which to start her business or furniture to use in the business. Or it could be as simple as giving her a congratulation graduate card with some money in it.
