What do you get someone who just graduated college? It can be hard, if you don't know, but if you have some ideas, then it will be fairly easy. I recently graduated from college, and here are some of the gifts people have given me (or I would've liked to get).

Money

Money is always a good gift to give someone. Even though it isn't personal, or memorable, every person who just graduated college will need money. That way, that recent graduate can get anything they want. They can pay their bills, buy a car, go on a trip, buy something FUN, or whatever they feel they will need in life.
I recently graduated, and I received some checks as gifts- it was nice to know that people and family members cared about me. My aunt told me to buy something I really want with the money.

Gift cards

Gift cards can also be used to buy whatever the graduate wants. You can get gift cards to restaurants, or stores that your graduate loves. Do a little research to find out what they like. They will be thrilled with spending other people's money at their favorite stores.

Books

Believe it or not, books can be a great gift for college graduates. The book can be a book about life, which inspires people to follow their dreams. The book can also be a Chicken Soup for the Soul books. Any life-changing books will be excellent for young adults too.

Picture Frames

Everyone (okay, almost everyone) loves picture frames. Picture frames are great gifts because your graduate will want to capture the memory, and what better way to do it than with a frame? That way, once the pictures are printed out, they can chose one that they want to put in the frame.

Scrapbook

A scrapbook is an even better idea for someone who loves photos. You could even scrapbook the college graduate's life at college. Or, get a blank one so that they can start scrap booking.
