Looking for a gift for the graduate in your life? Dr. Seuss’s Oh, the Places You’ll Go could be just the ticket. The book is a fantastic pep talk for those preparing to make their marks on the world.

Want to take this gift to the next level? If you’re hosting or participating in a graduation party for your graduate, have all the party attendees sign the book and write an encouraging note or memory in it.

Want to take this gift to the supreme level? Plan ahead: I’m talking months and even years. Every year your child or loved one is in school, make arrangements to have his favorite teachers write notes in the book–on whatever page they choose–and ask that they date their notes, as well. And don’t restrict yourself to just teachers, either: anyone who’s had a positive influence on your child should be included.

If you start this work early enough, you’ll have an amazing and heart-felt gift for your loved one at their graduation, especially if it’s many years away.
