I want to get something different... not the usual flowers, cards, gift cards, clothes, etc. Any ideas?

She is an education major and will be working with special needs children at an elementary school.

What did she study in college? Will she be needing a briefcase? Will she have business cards? If so, how about a business card holder... A gift certificate to have a massage since she's worked so hard thru college... A really nice frame to put her diploma in... A nice frame for her picture... an evening at the restaurant to celebrate... a bottle of champagne to celbrate... Some really nice letterhead paper with her new initials following her name (if that's happening after she receives her diploma)... A portfolio to carry her resumés and reference letter to job interviews...

You don't list any monetary ranges, so it's difficult to answer, but I'll give it a whirl... * A really nice set of Craftsman tools -- the kind she would have forever. This way she won't have to rely on a man to fix stuff for her. I love mine. :) * A beautiful Giusseppe Armani figurine (tons to choose from) -- they are collector's items and they show movement of the human form very nicely (which should be right up her alley!) * Some sort of "experience" with you -- whether it was a day trip somewhere (hiking? museum outing and lunch? spa day? major sporting event? etc.) or a longer vacation, it would be remembered always as a special time for just the two of you... especially as she starts her "adult life" and gets busy with everyday stuff. Just a few ideas to get you thinking... what a great relative you are for wanting to acknowledge your niece so nicely!

Well, what did she learn? I would get something cool that pertain to her Degree, but, you not say, so, I can not tell. Buy her some Reese's Pieces and tell her this for when you not get a job, drop them on the floor and pick up the pieces and move on with life. Sorry, this all I know from the limited knowledge you give.
Now my niece and her friend helped my brother and me move his boat from Florida to Texas. We ate a lot of Spam. This girl say after we got home she never want to see Spam again. For her graduation, can you guess what I gave that girl for graduation?

Our community has a couple of stores that cater to teachers. They sell items useful in class, teachers aids. A gift cetificate there would be great.
Any present that shows support for her, would be great. Some thing to relax with, something to make her feel pretty, something to unwind with after a day at school.

Are you creative with the computer. Here is what I would like (I'm about to graduate college myself).
My daughter is making me a memory album that shows some of the things she remembers about my time in college. What she has learned from what I've struggled with and what I'm about to do career-wise. So, how about giving her something that represents her struggles in school and what she has overcome?

get her a goft card to a teaching supply store for her to stock up on great things for her students.
make her a teachers care basket: buy her a chair massager, a coffee cup the heats up by plugging it in (works for tea too) a comfy pair of shoes to wear in class, maybe a scented candle and of course a small gift card to a teacher supply store so she can buy some cool stuff for her students.
