Tis the season for graduations! Which means graduation gifts. I like buying for grads because I find them easier to buy for than a lot of other folks in my life – maybe it’s just because the younger you are, the less stuff you tend to have already acquired.

I know that when I was younger I would have loved to have received an LG Microwave + Pizza Oven  – heck, I’d love to receive one now!  Since I already have one, I can attest to the fact that the Keurig Elite Single-Serve Brewer is the awesomest of awesome gifts for the coffee-drinker in your life. Both of these are great for a high-school grad about to move into a dorm room or a college grad ready to move up into the working world. When in doubt, you can’t go wrong with a gift card – a $50 iTunes gift card makes a great gift for the music lover in your life (and you can use it to get apps, movies and tv shows, as well!).

But if I had to choose just one perfect gift for the moving-out grad in my life, I think an HP Envy 4500 printer would be ideal. It’s the best combination of practical/cool for new grads setting up their own residences. It’s pretty much impossible to get by without a printer these days, and the fact that most new printers come with copying and scanning abilities makes them even more useful. A good printer is a must when you’re applying for jobs – even in our electronic age, it’s always a good idea to show up at a job interview with a printed copy of your resume! The fact that the printer is wireless is just another plus – not to have to deal with all of those cables and wires in a small apartment or dorm room is a real boon.

Whatever gift you choose for the moving-out grad in your life, know that as long as you’re within driving distance and you have a free washer and dryer for them to use, they’ll never really be totally gone!

    I told my oldest son that for graduation he is getting bars on his windows so he can not leave! Luckily I have one more year to worry about that. He would still love many of these gifts.

  4. Amanda @ Erickson & Co. says

    I got my husband the Samsung S5 phone. And he loves it! I bet he would like the TV too!

  12. Rosey says

    Oh I want a stone bake pizza oven for me! 😉 I’d add the Keurig brewer or mini brewer if they’re headed off to college. Those little gadgets are awesome. 🙂

    Best Buy has easily become my one stop shop for gift giving. Every single time I go there I find something new that would be appropriate for at least one person in my life. I love all of the things they have for grads!

  18. Pam W says

    These are great gift ideas. When my daughter went off to college, all she wanted was Best Buy gift cards.

  20. Jaime says

    Best Buy is such a great store for so many occasions. I would love an iTunes card now. And also a new printer. There are all types of gadgets a new grad could use!

  26. Carly Bellard says

    This Father’s Day, I took my hubby to Best Buy and surprised him with permission to buy! I knew he had been wanting a sound bar- so I FINALLY gave in- in a moment of weakness:)

  27. Annie Mai says

    I haven’t been to Best Buy in ages, but I love the amount of stuff they have. Best present as a grad for me was money, haha!

  29. amanda @attachedmoms says

    I remember when I went off to college. Coordinating iwth my future roommates so we didn’t buy duplicates and that we had a TV, microwave and the like 🙂

    Best Buy really does have a lot of amazing gift items. I also love buying graduation gifts. Perhaps it’s because they’re beginning a new journey, and it’s fun to be part of that and help them prepare.

  33. Bekki says

    Beets seem to be a really hot item this year and for good reason. Music is very important to teenagers and listening to music is no good if the sound isn’t right.

  38. becka says

    ALL of these are great ideas and any grad would appreciate them I think. 🙂 Best Buy is a great place to shop for that special grad.

  40. teresa mccluskey says

    I love best buy, I have bought my laptop, camera and more from them! Best place ever!

  44. lawna says

    I recently attended a graduation party and did not know what to get. I think I may break down and buy the pizza oven! What a great idea!

  47. Angela S says

    I have a Ninja Blender and would totally recommend that for a new grad heading off to school. My son really got into making his own smoothies in high school.

  50. Theresa says

    These are great gift ideas! My daughter would really love the tablet. It would be a great way for her to stay connected to her friends and do her work on.

  51. Tonia @TheChattyMomma says

    The best gifts for grads to me right now is the Fitbit. I bought one at Best Buy last week and its perfect for tracking health and fitness and hopefully preventing the freshman 20 for those headed to college.

  54. Anya@IW says

    I’m impressed with the quality and selection that are available for $100 bucks at Best Buy. The wireless printer is a great gift idea for a new grad! I’m interested in the Amazon Fire TV for myself! 😉
