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.
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.
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!
Peace- Seth a.k.a Dj Sk002
