Other suggestions include a digital camera, portable DVD player, a TV, microwave, watch or bracelet.
Any engraved item is an outstanding graduation gift. Try purchasing two-toned banded flask from Things Remembered ($20 plus engraving price, up to $12), or gunmetal multi-tool money clip, complete with all the elements of a Swiss Army knife ($20 plus engraving price, up to $10).
Gifts Under $50
Students have just conquered a long journey, and after learning all about a particular field of study, there are loads of special interest books and items out there to suit every specialty. If your grad studied journalism, a specialized pen or reporters' notebook is both thoughtful and practical. For the education major, a bag to carry their supplies to-and-from the classroom, or making a gift basket of school supplies is both creative and extremely useful.
Other gift suggestions include inspirational books, such as the classic graduation gift "Oh! The Places You'll Go" by Dr. Seuss, and writing a personal message on the inside cover for your grad to share or a picture frame, complete with engraving of the graduate's university and graduation date, as well as their name.
