Ultimate Guide: Graduation Gifts for Him
Ok, when we set out to write this, we first searched to see what other sites were saying about the best graduation gifts.
By far the most popular graduation gift idea was cash. All right everybody loves cash, but if you wanted to give it as a gift you wouldn't be reading this.
Some ideas from our competitors:
- A book
- Commemorative coins
- College spirit item
- Gift basket
- Photo album
- Fancy pen, desk clock or business card holder
Ok, these are fine, but yours won't be the first thank you card he writes.
Here are a few graduation gift ideas he'll really appreciate.
- A Trip
 - Go in with a couple of their friends' parents and get him a gift he'll remember forever.

- Laptop Computer - For a gift he'll get serious mileage out of, every grad can use a nice laptop computer - whether he's headed to college or the job market.
- MP3 Player - College freshmen are going to be spending a lot of time on buses and walking to class. He also will likely be cramped for space, and an MP3 player combined with a set of powered speakers makes a super space-efficient stereo. Don't forget the wires.

- Headphones - Every guy needs a good pair of headphones for the room. Believe it or not, college roommates don't always enjoy each other's music.
- CD Holder - an MP3 player doesn't make the CDs disappear
- Digital Camera - It can fit in his pocket, hold hundreds of pictures, is easy to use, and you can always harp on him for not e-mailing you photos now that he's further away. Not to mention - today's digital cameras are extremely affordable.
- Sony PSP - Who wouldn't want the coolest portable game system around? And remember number 3 - college students have lots of time at bus stops and in the dorm.
- Color Printer - If your soon-to-be college freshman already has a computer, he'll appreciate a quality printer. Trust us - a 3 a.m. paper jam the night before a paper is due is no fun.
- His Own Robot - Robosapien is extremely cool. Make him walk, pick up stuff, dance and lots more. A true gift that no one needs but, hey, it's fun.
 Luggage - Who doesn't need a good set? Make it a soft-side set so he can stuff it under his bed.- Tool Kit - Perfect for anyone moving out of the house.
