Written by Jay on May 27, 2008 – -
It’s that time of year, graduation for high school, college, grad school, etc, so now you have to get those graduation gifts for your loved ones for their accomplishment. But wait! You’re having a tough time thinking of what to get them. Well, I have some great graduation gift ideas for you guys!
Well, recently, I attended a college graduation of a special person in my life and I got her this great gift. Though, I’m not going to mention it here because technically it’s in the mail being shipped and I don’t want to ruin the surprise. But below is a list of graduation gift ideas for high school, college and graduate school.
Potential high school graduation gift ideas:
- A laptop (or computer) to get those soon-to-be college students working hard on their papers - or at least chat with them on AIM?
- Digital Camera or video camera so they can capture their future on film!
- iPod or MP3 player because everyone needs their music while walking or taking public transportation to their future class/job
- Handheld Organizer - we all know this won’t last but it’s your best interest to keep these students organized
- A new bag because who wants that same old bookbag from high school?
- Video game console - yes, some people need to be rewarded with fun things. And go get them Guitar Heroes while you’re at it!
Cheaper high school graduation gift options:
- Memory stick or flash drive - we all know technology rules the younger demographic, plus, no one uses floppy disks anymore!
- Cell phone accessories - everyone has one, why not get them the accessories to go with it
- Framed pictures
- Scrapbook so they can relive their high school days
- Flowers
- Locket
Potential College graduation gift ideas:
- Any of the ideas under the high school ones
- Jewelry
- A vacation or trip - “Now that you’ve just graduated, what are you going to do!” “I’m going to Disneyworld!”
- A watch
- Dinner at their favorite restaurant
- A new television
- Shoes, sneakers, boots
- A bike - Yes, with the prices of gas, you might as well invest in one now.
- Customized gifts such as lockets, wallets, knives, anything that can have something engraved on
- A suit - yes, all guys will eventually need one
- A dress - yes, all women love clothes… make sure to get matching shoes for them too!
And when all else fails, you can always buy them a card and a gift certificate! I’m sure there’s plenty of personalized gifts but if you had a tough time thinking of graduation gift ideas like me, here’s a list. I might keep adding to this as well!
