1. Tiffany charm displays graduate pride

With 14-karat gold Hawaiian bracelets almost as pricey as a semester at some University of Hawaii campuses, consider a new generation of heirloom jewelry for your graduate from Tiffany & Co. This stylish yet timeless lock charm in sterling silver is $175. Pair it with Tiffany’s pendant chain ($50) or round-link bracelet ($170) and expect squeals of delight when it’s presented in the jeweler’s distinctive robin’s-egg blue gift bag. Available at Tiffany & Co. stores in Ala Moana Center (943-6677) and Luxury Row in Waikiki (926-2600).

2. Go green with lei made of money

Money grows on maile lei in Wabi Sabi’s newest graduation garland. The small Kaimuki shop that last year offered a musubi graduate lei-n-yard is now selling made-to-order faux maile lei decorated with 10 crisply folded dollar bills and ribbons for $39. Larger denominations are available, and colorful cellophane penny lei are $22. Lei should be ordered at least two days in advance. Wabi Sabi is at 1223 Koko Head Ave.; call 734-3693.

3. Custom cookies offer grads yummy gift

Say "congrats" with cookies from Larry’s Bakery in Salt Lake. A lei of frosted shortbread flowers in school colors is $20; for a few bucks more add cookie volleyballs and other sports balls or minibrownies. A graduation-themed cookie on a "Class of 2012" lanyard is $7.95. To order call 422-0059 or head down to Larry’s Bakery, 4369 Lawehana St., near Target.

4. ‘Eat Rice’ has updated grains of wisdom

Send your graduate off to college or career with sage words from Frank De Lima’s "Eat Rice" spoken-word song parody. The local comic’s hilarious take on "Wear Sunscreen" was released in 1999 on his "Live at the Captain’s Table" album. De Lima and collaborator Patrick Downes updated the song in 2010 with such nuggets of wisdom as:

"Not all malasadas are made perfectly round. So what. The purpose of a malasada is not to look good, it’s to taste good. Remember that."

And:

"You know the saying: If you have lemons, make lemonade. That’s true. But a bittermelon will never become a honeydew. The moral of the story: If can, can. No can, no can."

Downes says he’s planning a new version for the Class of ’12, which has this bit of advice from De Lima: "Learn Chinese." Listen to "Eat Rice" on YouTube; visit frankdelima.com.

5. Bag tags conjure up island memories

Back in the day, a proper briefcase or Cross pen set sufficed as suitable graduation gifts, but today’s iGrads are harder to please and not as sentimental. Gift cards for merchandise and cash make all kinds of sense, but you can still present them with meaning, tucked into luggage tags that will remind departing students of their island home. These Aloha Bag Tags made here by Kahala Creations are $6 at Banana Bay in the Outrigger Waikiki on the Beach.
