An iPad Pro, with a pencil would be super convenient for someone who is in college. This would really make college life so much easier and organized. You wouldn’t have to carry so many books to class or when going somewhere to study. All your notes are conveniently all in one place. This also takes your organizational skills to a different level, which is so important for a student. Not only would it be great for school but it would also be great for down time. Watching a tv show, listening to music or a podcast would be super easy. This would be, in my opinion the ultimate graduation gift idea for someone starting college.

These days headphones, for a young person is everything. Listening to music, a podcast or an audiobook is something that they constantly do when they’re at the gym or just taking a walk. Headphones would be particularly needed if a college student is sharing a dorm room with a roommate. This way, when they are in bed and want to watch movie on their iPad, wearing their headphones would make this really private and that way they are not disrupting anyone else in the room. Believe it or not, these days headphones are somewhat of a fashion statement. Even if you are not actually using them for headphones, they like to wear them around their neck to match their outfit of the day.

These Apple headphones in particular are not only just for good looks. The sound quality is absolutely amazing and there is even a noise cancellation option. This would be great for someone who likes to study at a café or in a loud dorm room. It would make studying and doing homework so much quieter and they would be able to concentrate a lot better

A great set of headphones would be an absolute perfect gift for someone who is graduating. I promise it would be very much appreciated.

I must admit, a PlayStation 5 is a totally unnecessary gift. With that being said, if your son or boyfriend is into video games, this would be an ultimate graduation gift that he would absolutely adore. This gift would be great for those moments when homework and studying is done, and he just wants some time to relax with his friends. They can play their favourite games and they don’t even have to be in the same room with each other. It’s almost a way of socializing in the year 2024. In other words, if the person you are shopping for is a gamer, there is no better gift than this, PlayStation 5.

In our days crocs were not in style, but that was then and this is now. Crocs are actually are being worn every day by this younger generation as their every day shoes. Not only are crocs really in style at the moment, but decorating your crocs with charms is a way they like to express themselves.

If you purchase croc charms from the actual croc store, they will literally cost you a fortune. I have linked a bundle down below that are just as nice and maybe even better quality than the crocs brand but for a much better price. That way you can decorate your crocs any way you would like for a fraction of the price! This would also specifically be great for someone who is in college because I promise this is what they will be sporting at home and at school most of the time.

Purchasing a sweater for someone you want to get a graduation gift for may seem like a safe choice and maybe it is. But this is a gift that any young boy or young adult would love you. This is one of those gifts that you just can’t go wrong with. Luckily, for us sweaters with hoodies are so popular and there are so many to choose from on either Amazon or any store you walk into. So, even though this may seem like a safe choice for a graduation gift, I promise you the person receiving it will love it because you can never have too many sweaters.

An Apple Watch is another great graduation gift. The reason it’s so great is because this small little gadget can help anyone but particularly a student keep themselves organized. An Apple Watch can help with future appointments, homework assignments, or it can even be used as an alarm clock to wake you up in the morning. Regardless of what you decide to use it for, one thing is for sure, this gift will only be beneficial to the person you are buying it for. And they are sure to love it.

A luggage set would be such a perfect gift for many reasons. It is rare that we go out of our way to purchase ourselves luggage. We just usually borrow one from a friend or from our parents. Buying somebody a luggage set would be so appreciated because it is something they don’t have to go out and purchase themselves even though it is essential. Especially if someone is moving out of state for college, and they will be visiting home quite often, they would need a weekender bag, or a small luggage to be travelling back-and-forth with. This would also be great for someone who spends the night at a friend’s house or a girlfriend’s house. This gift will also be something that they will use for years and years to come.

Cologne as a gift idea is always a good idea. You can either find out what their signature cologne is and re-purchased that for them. That way you know it’s a safe choice. Or you can try something different and purchase them a cologne that is really popular at the moment. The one that comes to mind for me is Dior Sauvage. A very clean and manly scent that any guy is sure to fall in love with.

A sachet bag would be a great convenient item to have especially for someone who is on the go. This would particularly be convenient for someone who is in college and is constantly on the move. Going to class, the coffee shop or the library. This way they can keep their wallet, phone and important items in this bag making sure they don’t lose or drop anything. I love that this bag is trendy and not heavy to carry around.

If the person you are purchasing a gift for reads, whether it’s for school or for their own pleasure, an Amazon Kindle would be an ideal graduation gift. Books these days, cost so much. E-books are a lot cheaper to purchase and a lot easier to carry around. All you have to do is throw this small Kindle into your backpack and you have a ton of books available to you. The picture below is my own personal Kindle so as you can see, it’s a little girly with all the stickers I’ve added, but anyone who purchases a Kindle can make it their own by either, leaving a plain or adding stickers and a pop socket to their liking.

A mini fridge is such an unnecessary item but at the same time so cool to have! This would be so amazing in a guys bedroom or dorm room to place a few drinks next to your bed. I also love the look of this mini fridge. It looks so retro and would really compliment the style in his room. A great gift that any boy, young or old will love!

A gym bag is an awesome gift to get someone who is a gym goer. This gym bag in particular can fit gym shoes, a towel and much more. This can also be used as a weekender bag to just throw in your clothes for one or two nights and travel with. This specific one from Amazon is really trendy and simple so anyone is sure to love this style of bag.

This item needs no explanation. Every guy needs a good razor. Especially if someone is going to be moving away for college and would be sharing a bathroom with others. This electric razor is super convenient, it can be carried around in a small pouch, it’s really easy to clean and is battery operated. This gift will definitely last for years to come.

It’s no secret that when someone is in school whether it is high school or college most of their work is done on their laptop. Laptops are so expensive these days, so it’s just as important to have a case where you can place your laptop and carry it from school and back home.This is a great item to have especially for someone who’s on the constant go. Whether they’re studying at a coffee shop or at a library, their laptop needs to go everywhere with them. A good laptop case is a necessity to keep their laptop safe and that way they never forget it anywhere.

If the person you were shopping for owns a television, an Apple TV would be a great addition to that. On this Apple TV, you can add Netflix and all of your other streaming services so you can watch everything on one device. Apple TV connect super easily to your television and is also compatible with your phone making it seamless to navigate. There are also tons of games that you can play and even listen to your music or your favourite podcast on it. This gift is something that you will have for many years to come and will never be outdated.

One thing is for sure, everyone loves Netflix. Unfortunately, Netflix has been raising their prices year after year. And for some people this is not affordable anymore and has become somewhat of a luxury. For someone who is just graduated and is going off to college, a Netflix subscription is probably the last thing they want to spend their money on. Purchasing them a Netflix subscription would be something that would be so appreciated. For those late nights when they can’t sleep, when they’re doing homework and wanna watch something in the background, this would be very much much appreciated.

A small, portable and chargeable speaker is such a necessity when you are young and always participating in different activities. This portable speaker could be used in your bedroom or on the go. It’s super small and light and can be easily thrown in a backpack to be taken to the pool, the beach or a friend’s house. This speaker in particular works with Bluetooth so it is completely wireless.

This alarm clock has a gentle way of waking you up. Its sunrise affects light up your bedroom so nicely in the morning, in any colour you like. The best part of this Alarm clock is the sound machine. It has 26 high fidelity natural sounds that help you relax at night or mask disruptive environmental noises so you can sleep better. This is a great gift idea for someone who may have trouble sleeping at night or hates their noisy alarm clock because it is too abrupt.

A good coffee machine is an ideal present for someone who is a coffee lover. If someone you know loves coffee and is tired of spending a ton of money on Starbucks or Dunkin’ Donuts, this would be perfect for them. Making your own coffee would be a great way to save money. This coffee machine is super small and the coffee pods come in so many different flavours to make amazing coffee on the go hot or cold. This would be a great gift idea that a coffee lover will surely love.

A small, portable safe is a convenient solution for keeping your valuables safe while you’re on the move. This could be while you’re travelling, staying at a hotel or living in a dorm room. It’s lightweight and super strong making it impossible to break. It’s a great place to keep all your important possessions especially if you are not living at home. This would be great for someone moving away to college. They can keep all their important possessions in here.

A projector is the ideal gift for someone who doesn’t have access to a television. Maybe it’s someone who is living in a dorm and doesn’t have a lot of space. I love this item because you can either watch a movie by yourself or this would be great for a movie night with friends. It’s super small so it doesn’t take too much space and every time you use this you will feel like you’re at a movie theater. Every night could be a movie night.

As difficult as it is to look for graduation gift ideas for him, I am sure he will appreciate anything you choose because it was given with love.
