Know a Graduate? 60+ Gift Ideas!

Published May 18, 2020 • Written by

The older our kids get, the bigger the pile of graduation announcements that fill our mailbox. It’s just as much fun as receiving Christmas cards!

For many of these kids, we’ve known them since birth or the early years, while some are new friends to the family. Either way, I love celebrating college and high school graduates. The hard part is knowing which gift will be the most appreciated.

Last spring, we put together a guy and girl basket of college goodies to auction off at our school. The ideas people shared were so fantastic, that I made an Amazon list. It allowed folks at our school to shop at home, but it also doubles as a great resource for anybody looking for the perfect gift for the graduate in their life.

Below, I’ve broken down the ideas in categories. For the items not found on Amazon, I’ve linked them here. Otherwise, click that Amazon link above. Happy shopping!

Money/Gift Cards
