Graduation Gifts




High School Graduations are always around this time of year. This means many people have endless trips to graduation parties and gifts to hand out. It can be hard to come up with unique gifts for each person, but these are some great creative ideas. There are gifts that can be funny to gifts that will be handy in their studies.





Yahoo has come up with ten great creative gifts for the person that is tired of handing out money. There is everything from a joke gift of dice to the working girl survival kit. Keep reading to learn more.




10- The Working Girl Survival Kit : WishingFish.com is home to this neat little invention. Life's little snags sometimes get the best of ladies on their average work day. In this 10" x 3.5" case, is a plethora of tools for the average new working woman. The Working Girl Survival Kit contains toothbrush/paste, lip balm, stain remover, band-aids, tissues, lotion, and many more extremely helpful items. The container itself is a snazzy-looking silver briefcase, that will more than likely become your graduate's best friend.

9- Student Decision Dice: Graduates with a healthy sense of humor will love the "Student Decision Dice." This little silver pair of dice carry the options: Sleep, Go to Class, ATM, Party, Study, or MTV. Costing at around $12, this is a neat present to add to any graduate's gift basket.

8- Memories and Moments Celebrated Through Art: If you happen to be very close to your graduate, then the "Memories and Moments" tribute is the perfect present. Created by MemoryLane.com, this customized piece of art is comprised of all the memories, symbols, and artifacts from your graduate "giftee's" life. The print itself is created from keyword information that you supply to the artists. They then take the keywords and create a "Memory Lane" out of them. It'sthe perfect gift for the quirky individual who's not a huge fan of sappy sentiments.

7- One Share of Microsoft Stock: What better gift than a piece of the "rock." Snatch up this creative gift from OneShare.com. With Microsoft currently being the world's #1 software company, there are fewer innovative ways to bestow congratulations upon your graduate gift recipient. The share comes with an engraved stock certificate, and costs around $70. What's more, your giftee will receive an annual report, dividends, and ONE shareholder vote.

6- Money Maze Bank: This present is actually fun for any age. This clear cube houses a ball which must be guided through the cube's internal maze, in order to open the door, and release the prize (cash, or other monetary gift) inside. The maze-cube itself costs $13 or so. The monetary gift you place inside is up to you!!

5- Leather-bound Journal: Memories are best documented in personal journals. And for $22, this leather bound, artisan made journal is the ideal gift for graduates. Whether he/she decides to leave home, or pursue opportunities close to home, this journal reeks of sophistication. The traveling journal comes from Renaissance Art, and is gift wrapped in a handmade chenille pouch.

4- Tailgating Cooler With Grill: Football fans will adore this handy little invention. The portable kit contains an actual grill with small fold out legs. (The grill portion is stored inside the cooler.) It also doubles as a cooler for all your graduate's icy beverages. Accessories also include a (3) piece BBQ set, shoulder strap, and a waterproof compartment for food items. An ice pack, as opposed to loose ice cubes should be used in the cooler so as to reduce the weight, and preserve the physical integrity of the unit. For just $80, this is one gift that will keep on giving semester after semester.

3- Safety Girl Roadside Emergency Kit: Every young woman on the road (especially a new high school graduate) should have an emergency kit. The Safety Girl Roadside Emergency Kit, costing only $30,appeals to the stylish and eccentric survivor. Featuring such items as bottled water, safety pins, handy-wipes, and instructions on changing tires and jump starting a dead battery---your giftee will love the snazzy carrying case, and appealing look of the products inside.

2- Mini Money Stash Container: In times of need, the Mini Money Stash Container can be more than a lifesaver. This gift is essentially a metal container (brass, aluminum, or stainless steel) which attaches to the graduate's key chain. The container itself is able to hold rolled dollar bills (preferably large denominations, since it's not that large). In the event of an emergency, like a purse or wallet being stolen, it's a great idea to have some back-up emergency cash. What's great is that this engravable gift (from Sunshine Products USA) costs under $50.

1- Wallaby Trip Kit: Everyone knows that dormitory rooms and bathrooms are typically short on space. Unless your graduate is staying at home, or living on his/her own, more than likely an organized place for toiletries is in order. Magellan's Travel Supplies offers a Wallaby Trip kit which contains all the most necessary compartments for small toiletry items. This swiveling bag also hangs on doorways so that access to personal effects is quick and easy.
