(607NewsNow) — Graduation gifts are a great way to show grads how proud you are that they stayed the course in the face of significant challenges. Here a few ideas for this year’s graduates:

New suit

A new suit as a graduation gift can not only give a graduate formal attire to wear to their commencement, but can act as a symbol of moving into a more mature chapter of their life. When chosen correctly, a suit can last its owner for years and accompany them through multiple major life events.

New wardrobe

Graduating means forging new paths, whether in a career or through additional schooling. Grads can look the part with several items from Benjamin Peters. Formal wear, sportswear, and accessories can all be found in store, as well as tailoring services to ensure the perfect fit.

Dress shoes

Having the right pair of shoes can complete an outfit, whether it’s more casual or formal. Dress shoes and sneakers give the option of versatility, enabling the wearer to dress up to the occasion, or dress down for more relaxed events.

Looking to gift your grad an upgrade in their style? Visit the Benjamin Peters website or drop by in person at 120 East State Street on the Ithaca Commons.
