GraduationGifts SendThemOff to School in Style Graduating high school and heading off to college is such an exciting time in life. It is the first time a student is on their own as an adult and with it comes new experiences and challenges. Graduates are typically gifted items by friends and family as they prepare to begin a new chapter in their lives. From my own experience, the best gifts are the ones that are practical, but that doesn’t mean they can’t keep up with current trends!
JON HART luggage and accessories make such a great gift because regardless of your price
A KEURIG MINI COFFEE MAKER would be a great gift because, of course, we all love Starbuck’s, but sometimes they are not open during those all-night study sessions. Making coffee in their own dorm room is also a sure way to save some money. This one doesn’t take up much space and comes in multiple colors! $79 available at Target
range, there is something you can gift every graduate! Luggage is always extremely handy but things like money clips, toiletry bags and tech cases are also great ideas. Jon Hart products are extremely well made and
durable and will last for years, making it a great investment! Starting at $18 available at FanFare Gifts
A MINI TOOL KIT is another one of those things you do not think about until you need something out of it. It is especially handy when decorating a student’s dorm room. $49 available at Pottery Barn Teen
KEYRING BRACELETS are such a handy invention. I could have used one when I was in college. You have your car keys plus keys to your dorm and fobs for access to different buildings. Students can throw this handy bracelet on their wrist for easy access
to their keys at any time. Silicone $28, Leather $55 available at FanFare Gifts
All graduates need PERSONALIZED STATIONERY because sending thank you notes is a lost art. It only takes a few minutes, but sending a handwritten note of appreciation for all those graduation gifts goes a long way. Throw in some stamps, pens and spare envelopes to ensure they are prepared to send a “thank you” at any time. Prices vary, available through Lacey McCulloch on Instagram @sincerelylacey1 or call her at 903-244-6128.
A ROADSIDE EMERGENCY KIT could be a lifesaver when students are driving hours between
home and school. I would also throw in
jumper cables and a tire pressure gauge to ensure they have everything they may need if a bad
situation ever arises.
Is there anything more inconvenient than an electronic device’s battery going dead? Face it, we all rely on our cellphones for not only communication but also GPS, a wallet, alarms, planners and the list goes on. A MOPHIE PORTABLE CHARGER can charge any device that has a USB, which makes it especially handy for long days on campus and trips to and from home! $59 available at Best Buy
$18.99 available at Dot’s Ace Hardware
