Gifts for Graduating Teens

It's not always easy to decide on a gift for a teenager, especially if you don't know them well. I've compiled a few fun and practical ideas that are easy to modify and adapt to anyone's personality and taste.

Anytime a young person doesn't have to spend their own money they're happy. A great gift for someone who has access to a car is to purchase a gas card. You can buy it as a one time shot or offer to put a certain amount on it every month for 3 or six months to help them out in the beginning.

College books and supplies are notorious for costing large chunks of a student's budget. Present them with a gift card from their University bookstore. They receive a discount there and they'll be grateful for the help. Or you can buy them a gift card from their favorite coffee shop, restaurant or pizza place.

Here are a few fun ideas I found online that any grad will be glad to receive.

The Working Girl's Survival Kit has everything a grad or newbie in the work force needs. It has emergency stockings, breath mints, deodorant, hand lotion, tampons, and a variety of other things that all women end up urgently needing at one time or another. You can find it at wishingfish.com

Fear not guys, there's also a Working Guy's Survival Kit complete with male emergency essentials such as; a toothbrush and paste, mints, stain remover, shaving kit, a comb, and other emergency fixes.

The Personalized College Survival kit has 15 essentials such as; a first aid kit, a mending kit, a collapsible hamper, laundry instructions, a 6 in 1 screwdriver, and lots of other practical goodies.

We all know college students like to wait until they only have one pair of underwear and their oldest pair of jeans before they resort to doing laundry. Here is a special personalized, sturdy 16' by 32' laundry bag just for them

A personalized messenger bag is a practical way to help your graduate. It's made of durable poly and has an organizational section for keys, etc. Comes in several colors.

The Deluxe College Commuter kit contains all the essentials: A padded messenger bag, a stainless steel coffee thermos with an engraved pouch, a 6 ring personalized key chain with a light, and a personalized fleece pullover! You can find this great gift, along with the previous four, at personalizedpresents.com.

The Safety Girl Roadside Emergency Kit ensures that your female graduate has everything she needs for her personal safety. The kit includes a Space brand emergency blanket, safety matches, bandages and antiseptic wipes, directions on how to change a tire and how to jump start a battery, and other safety items. It also contains some fun girlie stuff like an aromatherapy kit, Ghiradelli chocolate, and a natural lip balm. What every girl needs-and wants! You can get it at safetygirl.com.

The tailgating cooler with grill is the ultimate grad gift for those who enjoy tailgating. The cooler is large, insulated and has plenty of room for food and beverages. The grill comes with a 3 piece BBQ set and can be stored inside the cooler. You can get it at keepyourcooler.com.
