Graduation Gifts Your Grad Will Love

Graduation season is here! Finding the ideal present for a friend or family member who is graduating college this year might be difficult.

That’s why the Campus Crop has compiled a list of gift ideas that any recent college graduate would appreciate. We have something for everyone, whether you’re buying for film lover or someone who could use some extra help in the kitchen.

Here are some wonderful college graduation gifts to show your recent graduate how proud you are of them.

1. HelloFresh or Blue Apron Subscription

Whether your grad has never cooked before or consider themselves an excellent home cook, a meal subscription kit is a great idea! The dishes included are delicious and super simple to prepare. Most meal subscriptions offer a variety of different meal plans such as meat and veggies, veggie only, low calorie, and family friendly.

2. Tool Kit

No matter if they are moving into an apartment right away or saving up for a few months, your grad will almost certainly need a tool or two while doing so. A tool kit like show above is ideal for getting them started.

3. Away The Carry-On

One of the best suitcases on the market right now is Away’s the Carry-On suitcase . Away provides two carry-on options: Standard and Battery, with the latter including a TSA-approved portable phone charger. The bag also has a sturdy exterior and 360-degree rotating wheels for easy transportation through the airport. A quailty suitcase will ensure a perfect post-grad trip!

4. Diploma and Tassel Frame

With this diploma frame, they can proudly display their impressive achievements. It not only has a section for their diploma, but for their graduation cap tassel as well!

5. Nintendo Switch Lite

Your recent grad may be done with school, but that does not mean they have to stop having fun. Remind them to relax every now and then with this portable gaming console that includes a variety of new and exciting games suitable for all levels of gamers.

If they already have one you can purchase a game they’ve been wanting or a gift card to the My Nintendo Store!

6. Airpods (or other Bluetooth Headphones)

Listen up, because this is something your graduate surely wants! All grads should have Airpods or some pair of Bluetooth headphones that allow them to receive calls and listen to music while on the go or at their new job!

7. Alumni Gear

Not only are they a graduate, but a soon-to-be alumni! There is no better way to recognize that than gifting them with some cool alumni gear that you can get at the Bronco Bookstore (or at their school’s bookstore). The Bronco Bookstore has so much alumni gear to choose from, you’re sure to find something they would love!

8. Gift Cards

While some people consider them a safe and practical choice, gift cards and certificates are an excellent gift! Best Buy, Amazon, and Target gift cards are heavily appreciated, but if you know your grad well then get them one to a store they love shopping at.

9. Give them something personalized

When you have a special graduate in your life, you want to commemorate their achievements and accomplishments by giving hem a meaningful gift that will motivate them to strive for a greater future. What better way to do that than with a personalized gift! Shops such as Etsy and Shutterfly have an endless variety of personalized gift options ranging from mugs and frames to blankets and photo books!

10. Get Crafty and DIY

All of the gifts that we’ve mentioned so far are great, but the best gifts are the ones you make from the heart. Show your graduate how proud and happy you are of them by getting creative and making your own gift. Homemade gifts are not only a meaningful way to say “congrats”, but also a cost-effecitve way to give a gift! Websites like Oh My Creative! have a list of great ideas that have easy to follow instructions.

We hope this gift guide helped you figure out the perfect gift for your grad! Congratulations to the class of 2022!
