15 High School Graduation Gifts For Guys or Girls
It’s that time of year again! When you’ll start opening your mailbox and pulling out fancy white washed envelopes containing high priced graduation announcements. Now that you’ve seen the announcement, you have a few choices. You can mail them a check, which will probably get spent on late night taco runs or you can send them an awesome practical gift. Here are my 15 high school graduation gifts for guys or girls.
1. A LARGE MEMORY Flash Drive
Now I know when you and me were in college we used to carry around floppy disks, hard disks, CD’s or real life printed paper. These guys, they’ve got it easy. They can carry their research papers around on sticks hanging on their key-chains.

2. Cordless Bluetooth Headset
I got one of these for Christmas and I love it! I wear it almost all day because I forget I even have it on. It rests on your neck and when someone calls, it vibrates. You simply pop the earbuds in your ears, touch a button and you are talking hands free. Beyond chatting on your phone, you can listen to podcasts, lectures, music and streaming media with these headphones.

3. No More Dead Battery Emergencies
So they forgot to charge their cell phone…again? Instead of freaking out and searching for an outlet, this handy dandy little portable battery charger is about the size of a lipstick tube and can provide an on the go (no electrical outlet needed) charge for your cell phone or tablet. I actually keep one of these in my car. It can be recharged and used over and over.
4. Mr. Coffee Single Cup Maker (That uses K Cups!)
I got a Mr. Coffee K-cup machine about a year ago and I love it! I save tons of money on coffee by using a re-usable coffee filters and these machines are way cheaper than the Keurig machines but do pretty much the same thing- brew coffee one cup at a time. This one has 3 cup size options.

5. For the Cell Phone Photographer
These little lenses snap over your smartphone lens so you can take really unique pictures right from your cell phone. These would be great for students who love capturing life and art via their phone.
6. For The Video Maker
GoPro is an amazing little camera that does so much in such a compact form. Grads can record all their summer adventures, projects and extreme sports on this little camera that goes just about anywhere. Guys strap it to their heads, their chests, their bikes, their dogs, their boards, their cars and just about anything that will let them record their extreme sports moments.
