Graduation gift-giving and related tasks are easier with the help of a group of Web sites offering everything from free printable cards and gift tags to sample thank you letters and letters of recommendation.
The FreePrintable.net family of free printable sites has a wide variety of printables for college, high school and even kindergarten and preschool graduation events.
"Graduation printables are among the most popular themes downloaded from my FreePrintable.net sites," said Kevin Savetz, the sites' creator. "People like the convenience of instantly printing gift tags, graduation certificates and cards without having to drive to the store or spend a lot of money."
More than a dozen free printable gift tags are available at FreePrintableGiftTags.net. Some are hand drawn, whimsical tags while others are sophisticated, featuring mortarboards, diplomas and other designs. All are free to instantly download and print in PDF or .DOC (Microsoft Word) format.
There are several printable graduation invitations to choose from at PrintInvitations.net, which offers the cards free in PDF form, or pay $6 to download the cards in editable .DOC format. The cards are available in either half-fold or quarter-fold sizing. Additionally, FreePrintableGreetingCards.org has more than a dozen congratulations cards, free as PDFs or $4 for the premium, customizable version.
For a personalized graduation gift, there are two dozen printable graduation certificates at FreePrintableCertificates.net. There are certificates of achievement, honorary diplomas, certificates for completion of special programs and more. And, for the smaller set, there are certificates honoring graduation from kindergarten and pre-kindergarten as well as preschool diplomas.
Rounding out the free graduation printables is a free printable graduation coloring page featuring a happy graduate.
Beyond printables, high school and college graduates can get tips on writing thank you letters with the tips and sample letters at ThankYouLetter.ws. There are five thank you letter templates for graduation gifts as well as sample thank you letters to show appreciation toward teachers or for the receipt of scholarships.
Another helpful site is LettersOfRecommendation.net, where high school and college grads can see sample letters of recommendation for jobs, college applications and scholarships as well as tips on how to request reference letters and what should be included in them.
"After the thrill of the high school or college graduation ceremony, the next step for many grads is a job search, or pursuing scholarship opportunities," Savetz said. "LettersOfRecommendation.net takes the guesswork out of formatting reference letters and determine what to include in them."
There are nearly 40 sites in the FreePrintable.net family of free printables sites created by Savetz Publishing, Inc., a company devoted to creating useful and informative web sites of interest to consumers and small businesses.
