Graduation gift ideas

Marisa Fidone, Staff Writer

There is no doubt that the class of 2021 has had an abnormal senior year, but fortunately there is a great path of success ahead. In commemoration of years of hard work, gifts exhibit recognition of their graduate’s accomplishments and milestones. 

Whether it is a Zoom ceremony or socially distanced graduation party, graduation gifts do not have to be fancy nor expensive. The list provided is a great reference to some unique, special, and affordable gifts to wherever their future may take them. 

Beats store at Amazon

From affordable gifts to investment gifts, everybody could use some technology! The new Beats Powerbeats of 2020 have gone on sale for $39 off, estimating the cost to amount to $111. These are great for working out and studying, they even have a 15 hour battery life! 

Secondly, another useful and affordable gift is the How to Cook Book, especially made for beginners such as incoming freshman college students! Cooking is necessary for adulting and is helpful for many, you can never go wrong with a classic and simplified cookbook.

This book is filled with countless recipes, varying in culture and techniques. 

Thirdly, a small and affordable gift that your graduate will be using 24/7 is an ID lanyard wallet! With identification and a wallet in one place, this helps with organization and it is unisex! This gift is versatile and a necessity for your graduate!

For good memories and fun times a mini mobile printer is perfect to capture everlasting moments and use to decorate your dorm room or future housing! More handy and convenient than a polaroid camera, this printer can download pictures from your phone to print and is free of ink, toners, cartridges, and film. Overall this is a great small gift that is very meaningful.

Although it is hard to say goodbye to a graduate, hopefully these sentimental and thoughtful gifts are everlasting memories from loved ones, friends, and family. No matter the price, it is the thought that counts. Congratulations to class of 2021, there are great days ahead!
