After having spent so many years of books, papers, and exams, graduates will surely appreciate receiving your gift of an out-of-town or out-of-the-country trip. Before you worry if you can afford giving this kind of gift, take a quick search online and you'll discover a lot of travel agencies offering tour packages for various destinations at bargain prices.

Many tour operators post their offerings on Facebook so make sure to check them out. Look at customer reviews or feedback - this will help you choose a reputable agency. Online merchants such as MetroDeal and Ensogo also offer trip packages at much lower rates. Moreover, you can subscribe to Agoda.com to stay updated on hotel offerings at discounted rates. They send insider deals on a regular basis through email, with a list of accommodations that you can avail at lower prices.


CORPORATE OUTFITS

Men and women who just graduated from college will soon look for jobs, and of course, they need to look presentable. Help them be ready for the corporate world by giving them polo shirts, pants, and leather shoes (for men) and nice dresses, and shoes with heels (for women). There is a large selection of work clothes out there, but if you prefer the comforts and convenience that online shopping brings, try Zalora, a popular online merchant that carries different clothing brands. Choose from their wide array of office clothes for both men and women.


LAPTOP/GADGET

Staying online and connected is important now more than ever so giving them an electronic gadget is a great graduation gift idea.

It really is never too early to start saving for the future. Teach graduates this wisdom and help them start saving by giving them a savings account. A lot of local financial institutions offer services to help anyone get started. BDO, for instance, has Power Teens Club which is a savings account designed for those who are 13 to 19 years old, perfect for grade school and high school graduates. On the other hand, BPI offers Jumpstart Savings for boys and girls aged 10 to 17 years. Material things will be useful for a certain period of time, but the benefits of learning the habit of saving will last a lifetime.


PERSONALIZED SWEETS

For most celebrations including graduation days, you can never go wrong with giving a box of sweets like chocolates and cupcakes. These are tried-and-tested gifts, but if you want to put a bit more effort, look for sweets that can be personalized. You can have the sweets designed with the graduate’s name or decorated with candies shaped according to his or her favorite things. You can also attach a card with your written message to the wrapper and even add a picture of the graduate. Graduation chocolate favors are also great giveaways to their friends.

Giving graduation gifts to loved ones is a great way to show that you are happy and proud of their accomplishments. With so many gift ideas out there, think about what the graduate really needs. You can be sure your gift won’t go to waste and you are even able to help them get started with the next phase of their lives.
