It’s that time of year again!! I love it! I love going to graduation parties, looking at all the picture collages they put up, seeing family and friends, eating the yummy graduation food, which my kids are always excited for since the new trend seems to be to rent a ice cream freezer, and cake. I love cake! I’m always at a loss as to what to get the graduate. Money is nice, but sometimes it’s fun to just give a gift. Thankfully, Best Buy knows this and they have put together a few gift giving ideas! They have ideas for grads that are moving out, the networker, fitness fanatic and great gifts that are under $50!!

Gifts for Grads
If one of my kids were graduating right now, my husband and I would be more apt to get them something under the “Networker” category. Some gift ideas are:
- iPhone 5s
- Lenovo Yoga 2 13″ Touch-Screen Laptop
- SONOS Play: 1 Wireless Speaker for Streaming Music
- SanDisk Connect 32GB USB 2.0 Wireless Flash Drive
- Google Chromecast
- iTunes Gift card
- Jawbone MINI Jambox Wireless Speaker
- Mophie Space Pack External Battery Case
- Surface 2 64GB AT&T 4G LTE
- Surface Keyboard Cover
- Samsung S-View Flip Cover for Note 3
- Seagate Backup Plus Slim 1TB External USB Portable Hard Drive
- Linksys Smart Wi-Fi Dual-Band Wireless-AC Router
- Speck CandyShell Cell Phone Case
Since most textbooks are digital now, I would probably get my child the Lenovo Yoga 2 or the Surface 2. Those two items just seem to make the most sense to me. They will need something to access their books on, take notes, and write papers. Gone are the days of searching through the school store for the used textbook with the least amount of highlighting in it!
Gift Ideas Under $50
For family and friends, we typically spend under $50. With a huge family, we’d go broke if we spent any more than that! A few ideas for grads are:
- Roku Streaming HDMI Stick
- My Blend blender
- BISSELL Cordless 2-in-1 Handheld/Stick Vacuum
I personally like the My Blend Blender. I am into smoothies so I would love to be able to make a quick smoothie in the morning or after a work-out. However, the other two choices are good ones, as well! For more ideas for gifts under $50 or other gifts in general, please check out the Best Buy Gift Center!
