Garnish: 6 Graduation Gifts

May 16, 2012

Graduation season is upon us. It's time for well-deserved celebrations. Not sure what to get for kids these days? We've got a few ideas for practical gifts they might actually use. 

Champagne set

Celebrate graduation with champagne! Then let the happy grad keep this 5-piece set for future festivities. These stemless flutes are great for other drinks, too.

Alarm Clock Dock

We love the retro look of this Alarm Dock. It's perfect for those who rely on their iPhones to wake them up. 

 

Tools

Who doesn't need a tool set? This may be the most exciting one we've ever come across -- it looks good and won't take up too much space.  

Knives

This sleek knife set by Opinel is sure to come in handy. 

Tote Bag

Everyone could use a sturdy tote bag. This one by Makr is perfect for carrying computers or groceries, or anything else. And it comes in a variety of colors.

Phones

These Retro POP handsets make phoning home more fun.
