Gifts to Give to College Graduates on their Special Occassion
Graduating from college is a momentous occasion. Why not choose a gift that is just as special and fun? The following are a few gift ideas for that new college graduate.
- Prepaid Visa or MasterCard
These prepaid cards are a wonderful gift for the new college graduate. They are the gift that keeps on giving. All you have to do is purchase the cards and load them with money. They are accepted almost anywhere, and your graduate can use the cards over and over to make major purchases. All they will need to do is keep the cards loaded.
- Gift Cards
Gift cards are similar to prepaid cards. The only difference is that they can only be used in one store. This way they can pick out something that they really like from their favorite store.
- Brief case
If your graduate is a business major, a teacher, or any profession position, they will love a brief case. A brief case is great for keep up with resumes and other important documents. You can purchase a simple one for only a few dollars or you can opt to purchase a more expensive one. Either way, a briefcase is useful gift idea.
- College memorabilia
Anything with the college logo can be a great way for the new graduate to remember their old school as they head off into the work force. This could include T-shirts, sweatshirts, footballs, flip flops, bracelets and coffee mugs.
- Business cards
Think of the lasting impression handing a potential employer a business card at the start or close of an interview will make. Give your college graduate a set of business cards to help them make those all too important first impressions as they try to find employment. Business cards are a creative and thoughtful gift for new college graduates.
- Books
Inspirational books are always a good idea. They offer words of encouragement and wisdom for the new graduate who might need a little pick me up while searching for that first job. They are generally not expensive, and can be purchase at any bookstore.
- Name plates
Name plates make any desk look professional. They can help make the new graduate stand out at work. They are a less traditional gift, but they are thoughtful.
- Stationary sets
Stationary sets are also a very useful gift for the college graduate. They can be used to take notes and to jot down important information.
- Money
Money is always the perfect gift. Like gift cards or prepaid cards, money allows the graduate to pick out something that they really want. They can also use this money for gas to help them search for that new job or start paying on some of those bills that they have accumulated during their time in college.
College graduation is a special time, and you will want to pick gifts that reflect this. Pick something that is useful and memorable.
