Lately, I’ve been feeling more and more inspired to write, especially since the launch of the GiftsGoGo official website. We’ve been receiving increasing feedback from users, and we do our best to respond to each one. Recently, a soon-to-be university graduate emailed me, asking for advice on choosing a fun graduation gift for their classmates. At GiftsGoGo, we believe that picking a graduation gift is like packing up memories of youth—it should be both heartfelt and practical. We’ve summed it up with the “Three Things to Look At” principle:
1. Sentimental Value:
Think of items like custom-engraved pens or necklaces—engraving the graduation date and name adds a real sense of occasion. Or create a memory album filled with snapshots of the good times you’ve shared with friends.
2. Practical Use:
Give noise-canceling headphones to friends continuing their studies, a business bag to someone starting work, or a travel kit for a gap year. One of my best friends got a “Work Survival Kit” when she graduated—complete with stress-relief toys and coffee vouchers. So real, right?
3. Creativity Points:
“Time capsule gifts” are super popular right now—like collecting video messages from the whole class and storing them on a USB drive, or writing a letter “to your future self in five years.” Our class even chipped in to buy a Polaroid camera last year, and we still share photos in the group chat today!
Pro Tip: Try the “532” budget rule—spend 50% on the main gift, 30% on nice packaging, and 20% on small surprises. A handwritten postcard tucked inside can touch the heart more than an expensive item ever could.
Remember: the best gifts are either genuinely useful or bring back a warm, knowing smile.
