I just did a search for discussions of clothes steamers on this site and found out it’s been a while. New models have probably been introduced in the past year, and some may have gone down hill. I’d like to get one for my nephew for college graduation, so

If you use a steam iron, what brand?
What are it’s best features?
How heavy/bulky is it?

Thanks!!

I always give a copy of Emily Post’s Etiquette to girls who are graduating from undergrad. It’s a great reference guide for the real world!

I love your gift ideas, but they don’t make good mementos. I think a card that shares a memory or a parting thought is a nice thing to receive and have as a keepsake. I really like the graduation cards at story people dot com. They have these great short stories and really beautiful graphics. They come in sets of 10.
Here’s one of the stories: “feels like some kind of ride but it’s turning out just to be life going absolutely perfectly.”
So they are great for graduation but good for other occasions, too.

In reply to Geezerette.

-Gift card to a study spot -cafes with wifi, Starbucks, etc.
-A basket filled with fun office supplies. I got this gift from my then boyfriend when I got into law school. The relationship didn’t last, but two years in, I’m still using the neat post-it flags, highlighter/pen combos, etc.
-For a more spendy gift, my grandfather got me a beautiful edition of Black’s Law Dictionary -the big leather bound variety- when I got into law school. I rarely use it, but it looks beautiful in my office and always makes me think of him.
-Itunes gift card, along with a list of the best apps for lawyers (Blacks, FRCP, Barbri, etc)!

I love to give “The Girlfriends Guide to Pregnancy” – not only is it full of good information but a hilarious read as well!
