Graduation Gift Ideas for your special High School or College Graduate
Take a look at some of my favorite graduation gift ideas. They are great for both high school and college graduates and will work for both guys and girls! You will see a range in price points, depending on your budget.. but all are fun, creative and unique graduation gifts and best of all, they can be ordered online with ease from reputable resources.
Tailgate Toss game… also known as Cornhole.. a campus favorite! You can buy them with college or university logo to show school spirit. You will see them out on the lawns and in the parking lots before any football game but on any nice day out on the quad. Plus they will for sure break it in before they even leave for school. It’s also great for college grads.. it will bring back some fun college memories! Learn more about how to play Tailgate Toss here.
A Target gift certificate is one of the best gifts ever. There is a Target in or nearby just about every college town or city and the big ones have a grocery section too. What’s nice about it, is that the kids can use it for a variety of items.. furnishing the dorm, buying supplies like notebooks etc., getting the latest DVD or book, clothes, food and groceries. What a great gift with all those options!
A college flag that can decorate their room and in the case of a college grad.. move to their first apartment and come out to support their alma mater during big games!
A college Snuggie – these blankets with arms are not only warm and comfortable but also functional for late night studying! A great addition to any dorm room!
These great looking stained glass college lamps are perfect graduation gift ideas for the college graduate.. a nice remembrance of their university and the perfect addition to their office or first apartment!
A Kindle or Ipad – These devices are a really useful gift for any graduate. For high school graduates the up and coming potential of the digital college textbook makes them even more practical. As more and more schools are moving towards online downloads of textbooks, this gift has the potential to save the graduate lots of money on their semester college textbook bill over their college career. The Kindle has come way down in price but does not have all the applications of the Ipad. You can get them with wi-fi or 3G access or the deluxe models come with both. Both of these items are available at Amazon and Target stores.
A Netflix subscription gift certificate is another good graduation gift idea.. college kids, especially freshmen, spend a lot of dorm time hanging out.. Netflix allows them to watch unlimited movies through multiple viewing options including the ability to watch on to their computer or notebook as well as watching on their television through their game console like Wii or Playstation. For an upcharge, they can also access DVD’s via the mail. You can give the a gift certificate that runs for a time limit you select.. ie –1 month 6 months, 12 months. A word of caution, in order to activate the gift subscription, the recipient needs to have a credit card on file. So be sure to read the gift subscription terms and conditions. It is worth a conversation with the parents of the graduate to make sure this will work for all. If it does, it is a fun gift that is a great value that any graduate will enjoy. College graduates especially will love this one!
