Graduation Message Ideas

• "So proud of you, today and always. Love, Mom & Dad"
• "Trust your compass. Follow your heart."
• "Wherever you go next, you'll never lose your way home."
• Front: his or her name · Inside: your message · Back: school name and class year

Handwriting Engraving

Write your graduation note by hand and we engrave it exactly as you write it. A message in a parent's or grandparent's own handwriting becomes a keepsake for life.

1. Write your message on blank (unlined) paper with a pen.
2. Take a clear, well-lit photo of it.
3. Upload the photo in the image field for the side you want engraved.

From your handwritten note to the engraved compass.

How the Compass Works

This is a mechanical magnetic compass. Release the side lock and the red needle points North. Line it up with the N on the dial to find East, South and West. Lock the needle when not in use to protect it.
