The Cherry Blossoms are blooming, and summer is almost here. Whether it’s you, your friend, or a relative donning the cap and gown in the coming months, graduation is always a happy, emotional, and celebratory time for all involved. It is also one of those times where gift giving is appropriate, but at times difficult. Don’t know what to get? Read on for gift ideas for the college—or high school—senior in your life!
Gifts for the graduate with a sense of humor:
Funny t-shirt:
Sometimes a t-shirt can express much more than words can! Poke fun at your favorite well-educated graduate with this shirt.
Stuffed Animal:
As innocent as this cute animal looks, his tongue is surprisingly sharp! This plush cutie utters sarcastic phrases such as “how much did that diploma cost you?’ and “sure the diploma’s in the mail.”

“A little dough”
Looking to get even with a prankster? Wrap up some cookie dough and explain to your cash-strapped graduate that you just couldn’t think of anything, but you know they could use a little extra dough!
Gifts for the graduate moving into their own place:
Man Cave Guide
Now that your graduate has grown up and secured his own place, gift him this handy guide about turning his pad into the ultimate man cave—just don’t be surprised when you come to visit him!
Portable Grill Pit
Your graduate may not have had a grill in college due to housing or dorm restrictions. Now that they are getting their own place, this cute—and portable—charcoal grill can have them grilling and entertaining in no time.
Robot Vacuum
One of the downsides about moving into your own place—having to clean it too! Make your graduate’s life a little easier by letting a robot do some of the work.
Gifts for the eco-friendly graduate:
Eco-friendly charger
Many young adults today have all sorts of electronics that need to be charged—iPhones, iPods, laptops…the list goes on. This cute and eco-friendly charger will help your graduate lessen their carbon footprint: it shuts off automatically when it’s done charging any Apple product!
Eco-Friendly Spa Basket
They’ve been environmentally conscious, now your graduate gets a reward in the form of an eco-friendly spa basket (this one is chocolate-themed, no less). From dark chocolate massage oil to hot cocoa bath mix, it’s (almost) good enough to eat!
