If you have a student graduating from high school or college, you are no doubt thinking about a graduation gift. There are many things new grads need in addition to luggage and laundry bags, so we’ve put together a list of gift ideas that grads will love, and which won’t empty your wallet.

For your high school graduate, a coupon care package book will be a welcome promise of monthly gifts from home. You can begin with a summer survival package, including things like sunscreen, snacks, a beach towel, a coffee mug, movie gift card, and an attractive tote bag to carry it all in. Follow it up with a seasonal package in October (think Halloween or harvest theme), November (Thanksgiving) and December (Christmas). January’s care package can include things to keep your student warm during the winter, February can be a Valentine theme, and so on. There are lots of ways to be creative and practical when putting together a care package from home for your student.

One thing we know about college graduates is that they’re almost always hungry! After four or more years of eating pizza, cafeteria food, and late night takeout, a restaurant or grocery gift card just might bring shouts of “hallelujah!” from your grad. Along with their degree, your graduate has likely learned just how much eating out can cost and will be thrilled with a gift card that helps with groceries or gives them an opportunity to eat at a nice restaurant.

Cooking probably hasn’t been a regular activity for your high school or college graduate, unless he or she has been living on their own for a while. Even if your college grad has been living off campus and doing their own cooking, a new cookbook and kitchen gadget or utensil set and holder makes a great gift. Add a set of towels and a hot pad or two, and you’ve got a graduation gift that’s sure to be put to good use.

Subscription boxes are another great gift for grads. If your high school student is moving on to college, a monthly subscription to a service they will use but wouldn’t necessarily buy for themselves is a wonderful way to make sure they have everything they need. College grads starting out in a new career will also appreciate these thoughtful, personalized gift boxes every month. With choices covering everything from shaving to makeup, popcorn to fashion, and themed food boxes for everyone from the chocolate lover to the vegan and gluten-free foodie, you’re sure to find a subscription that will thrill your graduate. Think of it as a care package you don’t have to put together yourself!

If your student has their own car, a car care kit makes a great gift. Include items like a gift card for gasoline and car washes, a few quarts of oil, a can of wax, a jug of 50/50 anti-freeze, car cleaning items and products, deodorizer, oil change certificates, a tire pressure gauge, car seat covers, a new set of floor mats, a sunshade, winter products like a de-icer or car cover, roadside assistance, flares, jumper cables, other emergency supplies, and a new set of windshield wiper blades.

We hope these suggestions have sparked some creative ideas for graduation gifts that won’t break the bank. As a final suggestion, you might want to add a box of tissues for your own use when you give your graduate their special gift!
