Graduation Gift Ideas

Do you have a high school or college graduate this year?

This year we are graduating our twin sons, Josiah and Christian. I have been experiencing a roller coaster of bittersweet emotions ranging from complete giddiness that the year is over to the unexpected tears when I realize they won't be joining our homeschool next year. Their senior year went by pretty quickly with three sports -football, basketball, and volleyball, and the blur of taking senior photos and prom at the end (they both had dates this year!) and all the group hangouts. It was such a fun ride and went by so fast.


We are planning out their graduation party and and I have been pulling together all the party supplies and other odd and ends. This year we will be hosting it at the beach and I am so excited about that!  I also had gifts on the mind so I thought that while I was sifting through some ideas that I would share some with you in case you had a grad that needed a gift or two as well!

Here is the list:

  A Bible - every grad needs the light, wisdom, and counsel of the Word of God!

I recently got this one for my son which is great and has the tabs and everything. You can find some for ladies here and I also found this nice Graduation gift Bible pack.

Leather bound journal

Grad Gear



Bracelet

 Pen with Scripture

Inspirational necklace 

Gift cards

These make great gifts because they get things they need for their new college dorm room or anything else they would need for their bright new future. If they are going away some food or restaurant gift cards would also come in handy.

And here are some throws/blankets specifically for the Class of 2019.



 Lap desk with light

Electronics for college - a good laptop, headphones or Airpods, an iPad tablet, smartwatch, or even Alexa  for their dorm room.

Laptop case

Book bag

Luggage

Basket Gift Sets - like food basket, cleaning supplies for a new dorm or apartment, or personal hygiene (soaps, lotions, etc.).

This book is not Christian but contains some good basic information for everyday skills that he would need as a man. Here is an inspirational book for ladies.
