Frugal Graduation Gift Ideas

Frugal Graduation Gift Ideas

Trying to come up with a great graduation gift idea is one of the toughest things to do. Many people just give in and slip some cash in a card rather than buying something the high school graduate may or may not like. While cash is fine and all, it is rather impersonal. Instead, why not go with one of the following frugal options for your graduate?

Frugal Graduation Gift Ideas

Get them a gift card

Sometimes referred to as “classy cash” and loved by all, gift cards at least show that you know what they like. Pick a gift card to a place that has meaning to you both such as a shared hobby or special place. This adds a bit of a personal touch to the graduation gift while still giving the giver some flexibility.

A dorm tool kit

Why not get a starter tool kit for their dorm or first apartment? This is a wonderful gift that will be used for years to come. Make sure the major tools are present. You would be shocked at how often a college freshman needs a hammer, screwdriver, etc.

Build them a laundry kit

This is a fantastic graduation gift that can be used over and over. Simply put together a laundry bag, a fold up ironing board and iron and you have the perfect little dorm gift. Laundry is about to become a very big part of the graduate’s life.

Prepay Some College Books

The costs on college textbooks is insane and any help in this area is welcomed by most graduates that are headed to college. Be sure to work with mom or dad to get the credit set up at the bookstore they will use.

Family and friends photo album

Taking the time to assemble a family album that shows just how many people love them will be a wonderful graduation gift. You can then stuff it to bursting with memories, fun and happy thoughts to take along on their trip to college. A piece of home away from home is always a wonderful gift. {Get a deal at Shutterfly.com.}
