School Graduation Gift Ideas 2022

It’s that time of year when school graduations are in full swing. I keep getting graduation announcements and I love it. The hard thing is to know what to get these graduates. Here are a few ideas that vary in amounts. So if you have a little more money to spend, then choose one of those. But if you’re on a budget then choose a more affordable option.

  1. Money. This is something that every student would love to have. You could be creative and get a lot of dollar bits, roll them up and make a flower bouquet out of money. There are a lot of fun ways to give money here.
  2. Survival Kit for College. If your graduate is planning to go to college, then make a cute survival kit for college. This could me in a cute container filled with things like: pencils, paper, gift cards to fast food restaurants, hand sanitizer, cash, markers, Chapstick, lint roller, scissors, ear plugs, sleep mask, band aids and cup of noodles. You can find them all here.
  3. Gift Cards. If you know your graduates favorite place to eat then get a gift card there. If you don’t then check out the college town on google maps and see what fast food lactations are there. Grab a few gift cards they could use for meals.
  4. Books. You could give your graduate a book like “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!” By Dr. Seuss. Be sure to leave a hand written note in the inside of the cover. There are a lot of these fun books here. 
  5. Hand written note. If money is tight, then this is the perfect option for a graduation gift.  Graduating is a BIG achievement. They put in a lot of work and it’s a great time to acknowledge that. Write them a note from your heart. It’s something that can mean the world to these graduates.
  6. Customized key chain. Most graduates are driving. So why not grab a customized key chain they could bring with them. It could be a funny one to make them laugh or a more sentimental one to help them through their next stage of life. You can find some cute ones here. 
  7. Car wash gift card. Speaking of cars and graduates. I know a few that have saved up their money to buy a car. That car means a lot to them. Why not grab a gift card to a local car wash place. This may sound funny, but I know a lot of them would LOVE this.
