If Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year, then graduation season comes in at a close second. It's definitely the most exciting: dark caps, stoic gowns, spring air tingling with the promise of things yet to come.

Trust me, a specially prepared Message in a Bottle, no matter how gushy or sentimental you choose to make it, will speak volumes to the graduate, far more than any store-bought card (or even their high school or college homework assignments) could ever speak.
