College Graduation Gift Suggestions - Ideas for Great Presents for Graduates

Are you looking for some interesting college graduation gift suggestions?

Graduating from college is no small feat. This is about the time that your graduate is getting ready to head off into the world and life can get to be pretty scary if they aren't properly prepared. However, with a well planned graduation gift, you can make sure that your graduate has a better chance of success.

So, what are some specific college graduation gift suggestions?

• You could treat them to a professional resume service. The resume is your graduate's first impression for the employment that they are seeking, so give them a great start and a better chance at getting their career going by giving them the gift of a professional resume. You might want to give them the online edge and include tools to add a video to their resume; a professional will help you with pricing for all these options.
  
  
• Here is another college graduation gift suggestion - you might also want to consider getting your graduate started off on the right foot with a little "nest egg" of their own. Consider starting them a retirement fund. You can fund up to $5000 right now, but there are many different options when it comes to retirement savings options. No matter what the goal is, from a down payment for a new house to getting furniture for their new place, you can lock up the funds until you're certain your graduate will need it by putting it into a certificate of deposit. Your graduate won't earn much, but they can't take it out before it comes due without a penalty, so it's likely that they won't touch it until it's time.
  
  
• Need more college graduation gift suggestions and ideas? Consider getting your graduate a mobile device that helps them with online communications. The vast majority of companies communicate via email, so make sure that your graduate is ready with the right gear. The great news is that you don't have to just choose a Blackberry because there are so many mobile devices that will help your graduate to stay connected. Give them the benefit of adding their plan to yours for a gift that will help them while they are getting settled into life.
  
  
• Almost every graduate can benefit from a little extra financial education, so give it to them in the form of some really great books and publications. You'll find that there are some very educational and easy to understand books out there, such as Life After School Explained by Cap and Compass or Get A Financial Life by Beth Kobliner. It cannot be said enough that a good financial start can last for years, so don't leave your graduate to figure it out on her own - give her a start.
  
  
• Maybe you would rather give your graduate something that they can carry with them for the rest of their lives in terms of an experience. If that is the case, one possible college graduation gift suggestion comes in the form of travel. An expedition to a far away destination can be an important experience for anyone, and when you place these pleasures in front of a new graduate who is about to enter the stress and pace of the working world, you might just help them to be more prepared for real life.

Did any of the above college graduation gift suggestions appeal to you?

Ultimately, great college graduation gift suggestions and ideas are out there, so think about who you're giving to, what they want out of life, and what you would like for them to have, and you'll be well on your way to giving your college graduate a great start in life.
