The High School Prom is a chance to create special memories. The anticipation which precedes a prom can at times be quite difficult for young men and young woman. The desire to make sure that everything goes just right can almost ruin the entire evening, but it is important to remember to relax and have fun as well. One of the most fun parts about a Senior Prom or Junior Prom is the opportunity to exchange gifts with friends and family. This is a special and long lasting way to show those involved in these critical years and moments of your life that you appreciate the role they have in helping and watching you grow more mature.

As you think about gifts for those involved in the prom event it is important to strike a balance between budget and showing respect. While some may feel that they have to go over the top with prom planning and gift giving this extravagance can possibly leave an odd memory of the event. Stay within your means and keep the event in perspective to create a healthy memory.

A great gift idea for the prom may be an electronic photo frame, the Kodak Easy Share M820 8 Digital Frame runs at about $70.00 and is a fun way to keep those high school memories alive. Add a couple to get them started, and let them have fun with a great gift that they will cherish in the years to come. You might want to add an old fashioned frame as well for the well earned diploma!

Gift certificates are also a great gift, with the new changes in the young persons life, be it traveling, working, college or university, a gift certificate may be the perfect gift!

Friends and/or family can send the prom couple off in style with a gift

for a dinner for two. Arrange with a nearby restaurant for the couple to enjoy an elegant, but affordable dinner. Pay for an arranged menu, tip included. The couple can enjoy a prom night dinner without a care.

And last but not least, there is the popular prom gift of jewellery. Again, over-the-top is the not the way to say you care; it is the thought behind the piece that represents your message and the person in whom you plan on giving it to that does!

Remember that the prom is a memory you will keep for all of your life. With just the right thought given to a prom gift you can create a memory which will be that much brighter.
