Best College Graduation Gift Ideas on A Budget

You don't have to spend hundreds of dollars to give the college graduate in your life a lovely gift. You have a number of options for budget-friendly gifts that will help the recent grad get off on the right foot after college. If you're graduating from college yourself, give your fellow graduates inexpensive but special gifts.

Graduating from college is often one of the most important milestones in someone's life. Finding the perfect college graduation gift to match such a momentous occasion, however, can be a bit tricky. These 14 graduation gift ideas are classic, affordable, and practically guaranteed to work for any situation.

If someone you know is graduating from college this year, it may be difficult knowing just what to get them for a graduation gift.Listed below are some great college graduation gift ideas to fit any budget, some of which I received when I graduated not so long ago.

University Diploma Frame 
This is not your ordinary diploma frame. University Frames is a company that specializes in producing diploma frames specifically tailored to represent almost any college or military academy in the US. These frames are a great way to proudly display that diploma your college graduate has worked so hard for these last few years. They offer many layouts, including ones that have room for a tassel, school seal and/or a lithograph picture of the university campus.

Books 
The first book is mostly a humorous look at survival techniques that may be applicable in the workplace. Though many of the tactics used in the book are not realistic, it may provide some comic relief to a grad that is nervous about starting their first major job. The second book is by the same author of the original "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff".

Engraved gifts 
Customized engraved items make great college graduation gifts. A clock, frame, or a business card case are just a few items that would be perfect for engraving. Whatever item you choose, be sure to include the graduate's full name, date of graduation, the university the are graduating from and what degree he or she has earned.

Gift Cards 
Though many college seniors purchase their class ring months in advance of graduation, not everyone has an opportunity to do so. They may have missed the on-campus reps for the ring company or the rings may have been to expensive. Whatever the reason, a class ring is a special memento that will last a lifetime. This would be a great gift for parents, grandparents or siblings to give. Ask your graduate if he or she has already purchased a ring and if they haven't, ask if he or she would like one as their graduation gift from you
