Gifts that are Great for High School Graduates!(graduations are right around the corner)

7 days........left of high school..........yes!....lets try that again......Y.E.S.!!!!!!!.....now that is more like it!

Hello everyone thanks again for taking the time to read my blog, i really appreciate it as always! Today's important topic is all about GRADUATION GIFTS!!!!! Trust me I have heard about some really BAD gifts such as these below......

•  Grandma thanks for this sweater it looks so cool with a cat on it! I cant wait to wear it to college!
•  Thanks Grandpa for that fishing pole because I  can use in in the corn field next to my house.
•  Thanks Uncle Joe for the walkie talkies because i can use it to talk to you when i am 2,000 miles away from you
• Oh and how can I forget to thank my sweet and caring Aunt Nancy for the peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies even though I am allergic to nuts.

 I am sure you all can relate to a story like the ones above. Now saying that I am an 18 year old man and since I am graduating this year( May 19th) here are some ideas for a significant graduate in your life! Sorry girls since I am not a girl I have no ideas for what girls might want....just go to google.com and type in "gifts for girls for graduation" in the search box and see what pops up.....

HERE ARE MY TOP 5 GIFTS FOR GUY GRADUATES!

#1) G-SHOCK Men's ANALOG DIGITAL WATCH- $110 available at http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/g-shock-watch-mens-analog-digital-red-resin-strap-ga100b-4?ID=612140&CategoryID=23930&LinkType=PDPZ1

WHY: Yea I understand teens have iphones now to check the time. Believe me though you can go to a mall or club or anywhere and there will be kids/teens wearing funky style of watches. GET YOUR SWAG BACK and get a watch. This is at the top of my Grad. Gift wish list by the way! Take my advice and get your special someone a watch just be sure to not get them a Timex because they probably wont want to wear that out in public. If you are feeling generous( VERY GENEROUS) any Gucci watch is acceptable.

#2) GIFT CARDS

 This is for specific people that FEEL they need to get their graduate something besides CASH. Sure gift cards are just like CASH but it has the word "GIFT" in it and it is a "CARD". I'm talking cool gift cards not gift cards to Bergner's or Walmart or something lame like Subway. I'm talking cards to Best Buy, Game Stop, XBOX LIVE, nfl/mlb/nba shop/store, basically anywhere your graduate likes to shop at. CLOTHES CLOTHES CLOTHES!!!! I am huge into clothes so if it was me i would take gift cards to J.Crew, Lucky Brand, Gucci, Nike, Abercrombie, etc....... THIS is definitely a great gift for any grad as long as you give them a GREAT GIFT CARD!

#3) A VEHICLE( any vehicle that will get you from point A to point B without breaking down......)

Once again your graduate might already have a vehicle( I do not yet) and yes this gift is MAINLY FOR PARENTS OF THE GRADUATE unless you have wealthy uncles/aunts/grandparents/great grandparents/ great great grandparents(wow you are lucky!).... So Parents what vehicles are perfect for your graduate???

$10,000 or under price range

HONDA CIVIC- GREAT FUEL MILEAGE!, very safe and reliable...... 
Here is a 2006 Honda Civic EX for $9,999 available on cars.com
 

$20,000 or under price range

DODGE CHARGER- SAFE/RELIABLE and decent fuel economy. Basically this car is for any grad who wants to ride in style with sacrificing a little fuel economy for fun.
 2009 Dodge charger SRT-8 $29,997 available on cars.com
 
$30,000 or under price range
CHEVROLET SILVERADO- What guy doesn't want a truck? Sure you can find trucks for $10-$20k but if your parents have the cash and they want to treat your to something nice here is a 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT for $29,991 available on cars.com
 

#4) A Cell Phone

HAHAHAHAHAH yes some graduates do not own a cellphone yet. Some Parents actually wait to give their kid a phone until they graduate. For this gift there really is only 1 option. An Iphone 4S or 5. Basically every and any carrier carries the Iphone. The 4S is cheaper than the 5 but both are good phones. Look at the pics below and then you can go to apple.com or to any retail store to investigate further.
IPHONE 4S(LEFT)
IPHONE 5(RIGHT)

 

#5) C.A.S.H. MAKE IT RAIN at your graduates' graduation party! You cannot go wrong with giving someone cash, Cash is the only present guaranteed to never get returned to where you bought it from! A suggestion for some fun is when you go up to your graduate to give him his gift make it rain by throwing the cash up in the air so it falls all around them and the room. Not only will your graduate think that is "ballin" they will remember this moment for their rest of their life! Whether it is $50, $100 or even $500 cash is the way to go for any gift!

Thanks for reading my suggestions! I hope you will remember some of these ideas when you are shopping for your graduate! Congratulations to the classes of 2013!

2013 Miami Heat Playoffs- The "White" Jerseys, Championship countdown and RIHANNA

Which player stands out in the team photo above? No its Not Lebron. If you chose Mike Miller(if u even know who he is) you are correct

Wow. The Miami Heat are in the playoffs. What a shock! Alright I will admit it its NOT A SURPRISE or even a shock that the Heat are in the playoffs. I mean after all they have Lebron James, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh on their squad WHAT THE HECK DO YOU EXPECT? Do you expect this team to suck it up and not make the playoffs? Is that even an option?Is that why Lebron went to Miami Beach in the first place? Did he go there to win or did he go there for the nightlife, clubs, partying, CHICKS, Beach houses or cars? I think we know why he went there and all. to win as many rings as he can...........

before you go on reading I ENCOURAGE you to click on this link for the Miami heats Homepage. Do It i dare you. It will blow your mind.http://www.nba.com/heat/2013-playoffs-home

whats the first word that comes to your mind? C.O.C.K.Y. yea thats right that spells cockiest team in the entire dang NBA. WHO the heck does that, i mean seriously?

2013 NBA CHAMPIONSHIP COUNTODOWN...............................too cocky if you ask me...they are counting down how many wins til they win their 2nd consecutive NBA championship....let me tell u something...THIS IS NOT GONNA HAPPEN!

Alright I admit it the BUCKS might not beat them but no way will the HEAT WIN AGAIN.....they are just so dang cocky it aint even funny. Lebron is a showoff, Wade thinks he is all that, Chris Anderson is just plain messed up in the head and Mike Miller..... wait who is he again???

NOBODY IN THEIR RIGHT MINDS PUTS A CHAMPIONSHIP COUNTDOWN ON THEIR HOMEPAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE HEAT ARE GONNA GET BEAT

okay next subject i think you all know by now how i feel and i hope you all feel the same except for the minority of you that are heat fans( dont judge me but if i ever met you we wouldnt get along and we would end up in a fight)

WHITE OUT THEME( I didnt even know they had these white jerseys)
Umm..let me check...yea the heat only have 2 white players on their team...so what are they trying to prove here...im lost with their slogan " WHITE HOT" PLAYOFFS 2013.....Thats a fail....I like their red jerseys and it could be "RED HOT" or something but dang white jerseys and HIGH WHITE SOCKS looks so tacky and so dumb....

okay and not only that they just gained a celebrity fan..NO ITS NOT JUSTIN BIEBER WHY WOULD YOU THINK IT WAS HIM?? ITS NOT ALL ABOUT JUSTIN THERE ARE OTHER FAMOUS CELEBRITIES>>> Jay Z? nah not him either he is still a Brooklyn fan last time i checked..no im talking about the S&M singer, Rude Boy and Disturbia singer.yep im talking about KESHA! wait what? oh my bad i meant RIHANNA!

lookin pretty thug for u RIHANNA and whats up with the replica jersey go all out and get the dang authentic jersey!

u can afford it right?????

TBD to see if Rihanna shows up at more Heat games, something tells me if they lose to the Bucks She is gonna burn that lebron jersey.


Okay what else is going on down there? THE BIRDMAN HAS TAKEN FLIGHT!!!

for those of you who are unfamiliar with him, his real name is Chris Anderson "BIRDMAN" who looks like a lunatic with all those tats and mohawk. He is a fan favorite. he is a fan favorite. he is a fan favorite. pretty much why miami signed him.....he has no athletic talent...

Mrs. Birdman

Well thats all for now but i do have one favor for you all! WHEREVER YOU GO AND WHOEVER YOU SEE I WANT YOU TO GREET THEM WITH A " BEAT THE HEAT"

LETS GO anyone besides the heat!

PEACE
