Graduating and Moving Out – the Best Gifts for Grads from Best Buy

Graduation gifts

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!

Other great grad gifts are available at the Best Buy Grad Gift Center, including:

  • Stone Bake Pizza Oven
  • Amazon Fire TV
  • Ninja Blender
  • 4-Slice Toaster Oven
  • Beats by Dr. Dre Pill Portable Stereo Speaker
  • Samsung 32” Class LED 1080p Smart HDTV
  • Sony Smart Wi-Fi Built-In Blu-ray Player
  • Game of Thrones Season 3 Blu-ray & DVD
  • Frigidaire 3.1 Cu. Ft. Compact Refrigerator
  • Xbox One Console
  • Xbox One Titanfall
  • Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 – 16GB Tablet
  • Zaggkeys Folio Keyboard Case
  • Asus Transformer T100 32GB Tablet
  • Lenovo IdeaTab A1000 16GB Tablet
  • HP Slate 7 Plus 7 Tablet
  • Tech21 Shell Case for Samsung Galaxy S5 Cell Phones
  • mophie Juice Pack Powerstation Mini
  • Hoover WindTunnel 2 Vacuum
  • Hamilton Beach Set & Forget Stay or Go Slow Cooker
  • Thule Crossover Backpack

    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.
