Top 10 Graduation Gifts

The arrival of the month of June represents two yearly occurrences- summertime weather and graduations. I’ve experienced my share of graduations and have received gifts that turn out completely useful and others that end up in the family storage room, never to be opened. To avoid the latter and make a wise shopping decision for a gift, I have compiled a list of 10 graduation gifts ideas.

MP3 Player: Can be used when one is walking to class on that gigantic college campus or in the car on the way to work.
Travel Accessories: Traveling is a common trend amongst graduates, so make sure your graduate has proper luggage and accessories to make it a smooth trip.
Dell Laptop: A laptop is extremely useful to bring along to lectures. If your graduate is completing college, a new dell laptop to replace the one that has been used for 4 years is not a bad gesture.

Iron/Iron Board: These are definitively a must for those going into college and the work industry. Neatly-pressed clothing is ideal for class presentations and job interviews.
Furniture: Items to fill an empty apartment or dorm will always come in handy.
Gift Basket: Now that your graduate will be moving out, it means no more home-cooked meals. A gift basket filled with fruit and snacks will surely go a long way. Making a gift basket is surprisingly easy, just get a basket, a wicker basket liner and fill it full of sweet, unhealthy goodies.

Books: Whether it is for inspiration, hobby, or leisure, you can never go wrong with a good book.
Planner: Graduates are sure to encounter meetings, lunches, and deadlines, so make their lives easier by giving a gift that allows them to keep an organized schedule.
Kitchen Appliances: A George Foreman Grill or microwave will turn any novice into a fine chef.
