Frequently Asked Questions & Answers about Student Gifts
What can one wish for as a graduation gift?
When you graduate, it's perfect to wish for things that you need or would like to have but don't want to spend your own money on. Jewelry, clothes, or an experience are common things to wish for as a graduation gift, but of course, it varies from person to person.
Depending on what you plan to do after graduation, you may wish for different things. If you are going to travel, maybe pocket money or a travel guide would be good to wish for. For those who will be studying and perhaps moving to another city, home decor items or other things you need when you move out could be a good fit.
Things for a future apartment, such as kitchen items or other useful things, are commonly wished for at graduation. This way, you won't have to buy everything yourself when it's time to move.
What do you give as a graduation gift?
It can be difficult to know what to give as a gift to someone who is graduating. The easiest way to find a good gift is to ask the graduate or their parents what the person wishes for. Many times there is a wish list you can refer to, ensuring that you give a gift that the person wants.
If you don't know anything specific that the person wishes for, a gift card is always a safe bet. This way, the person can buy something they want themselves, and you don't have to worry about whether they were satisfied or not. Another great student gift that never fails is an experience, either alone or to do together with you. It can be anything from a massage or a restaurant visit to a fun activity to do together.
One last tip for a graduation gift is to give something the person might need for their future home. Nice wine glasses, porcelain, or a salad bowl are always appreciated and are perfect items to take with them when the person moves out.
