FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRESS RELEASE


February 21, 2009 Mill Creek, Washington - All across the United States young adults from every state will prepare for their high school graduation.  They will be spending time away from home and planning for life as a college student.  The U.S. Census Bureau reports that 3.3 million high school students will graduate nationwide this year.  Graduation day will be here before you know it, and that means kids—and parents—are already gearing up AND getting ready life on a college campus.  
TheGiftWhiz.com, a unique online gift company based in Washington, introduces a line of personalized, color coordinated, products to keep graduates organized while at home or away at college.
Parents are reminded to plan ahead, review packing lists, and most importantly, label everything!
•   Make a list of the things your student will need to buy and things he/she will need to pack.  
•   Pack things that you want to have with you, but consider leaving anything that’s truly valuable or irreplaceable at home.  Monogram your name on most items, and use a permanent marker for the everyday smaller items.
•   Most IMPORTANT: Make sure your child’s name is on everything they bring to college! This will help avoid arguments with roommates about what items belong to whom, and also help your student’s things get back to you if misplaced.

TheGiftWhiz.com monograms practically EVERY item sold on their site.  The website is easy to navigate, and graduates will enjoy helping Mom or Dad pick out their favorite must-have items.  Best of all, the products will continue to be enjoyed long after college ends.
