Graduation marks a major achievement for students. It's an exciting rite of passage that marks the end of high school or college days and the beginning of a new stage of life. Friends and family traditionally congratulate the happy graduate with a present, although the type of graduation gift will depend on the student's grade level and their plans for the future. For example, a high school graduate planning to attend college will be grateful for a gift they'll use in the fall, like a laptop computer, or a microwave oven for their college dorm room. If a trip to Europe or Asia is in their summer travel plans, a set of travel books, a backpack or a pocket translator will come in handy.
If your budget is small, USB sticks for memory storage can be a good gift. If your soon-to-be grad already has an iPod, there are some great smaller gift items to complement it, like an FM radio transmitter. If your grad doesn't have one, now is the time for a laptop. They can't be beat for flexibility and portability. A laptop makes updating resumes, emailing potential employers and staying in touch with friends much easier.
