A Gift That’s a Clean Sweep
If they’re moving into their own apartment after graduation, a robotic vacuum is a great high-tech appliance. It’s compact, easy to store in a small apartment, and easier to pack up than the traditional upright model. And if your college grad has no plans to leave the nest right away, it’s a great bonus gadget to clean up Mom and Dad’s house in the interim!
A Gift with Timeless Appeal
For one of the best gifts for grads that never goes out of style, get them a timepiece. In the professional world, a watch exudes maturity and signals a readiness to clock in the hours required in the full-time workforce. Or, invest in a smartwatch that shows the time, sends reminders for meetings, tracks their steps, and more. As one of the best grad gifts for guys or gals, whether you’re shopping for an alumnus or an alumna, consider engraving the watch for a personalized graduation gift they’ll treasure for years to come.
Picture-Perfect Idea
Did you know that you’re 11 times more likely to have your LinkedIn profile viewed if it features your photo? A great headshot should convey that you’re friendly, trustworthy, and professional to potential employers, recruiters, and clients. Headshots are also great for fledgling writers and marketers who want to build their brand on the Internet via blogs. A professional photography session is a unique gift idea and something a college grad would never think to get for themselves. It’s also a great way to capture a special period in time, the college graduate’s transition into the “real world”, and preserve it in a photo frame for Mom and Dad!
Graduation Stole Frame
Graduates have so many options for showcasing their personality, club affiliations, and academic interests with personalized graduation stoles. These beautiful pieces of graduation regalia shouldn’t end up in a drawer or in your attic. Put your commencement stole on display in a graduation stole frame. Best of all, this 3-in-1 shadow box frame can showcase a graduation medallion, honor cord, or stole. Plus, the reversible mats allow you to create a white mat background or black mat background.
Help Them Dress for Success
For the past four years, they’ve been power-shopping almost exclusively at the campus bookstore building up their extensive collection of college-branded hoodies, t-shirts, and sweats. Sure, they have that one dress shirt and pair of suit pants in the back of the closet reserved for the occasional wedding or funeral. What they really need is an actual workplace wardrobe: shirts, jackets, women’s and men’s dress pants, and shoes that make them feel confident and ready to take on the world. Get them a gift card to Stitch Fix, an online “personal styling service” that will deliver five clothing options per shipment, or to Zappos for dress shoes.
Frame the Memories
Planning to hold a grad party later in the year when everyone can attend? Our Autograph Frame is one of our best-selling graduation party ideas. Remove the matting from the frame, set it up on a table with a permanent marker, and direct guests to “sign in” as they arrive. It’s a great way for family members to offer their best wishes or words of wisdom while creating a treasured keepsake for the graduate. You can add a photo from the commencement ceremony and personalize the engravable plate with the recipient’s name and event details.
