A few weeks ago I had my cousin’s high school graduation party to attend and I was drawing a blank at what to get him. I don’t see him often so I wasn’t sure what he was into and I prefer not to give just cash if I can help it. After racking my brain for ideas, I remembered Best Buy. I seriously think Best Buy has something that everyone can find at least one thing (if not more) they’d like.
Whether the graduate is moving out on their own, a techie or a fitness fanatic – Best Buy carries a little of everything! I honestly never realized how much Best Buy really does offer until I was in there recently and saw that they carried some books, toys, small appliances, and some other items that I wouldn’t have expected Best Buy to carry but after thinking about it I can see why they do!
Here are some ideas for graduates:

For me, I love the gift ideas under $50. I usually spend $30-$50 on graduates and love options. I also give receipts so the person can exchange it if need be. The Gifts Under $50 are great too because if you are not too familiar with the graduate you can still shop for them. There are so many things graduates need and don’t even realize. Money is great but to me I like giving gifts and having something to open for people. I think too that it makes it look like you spent more sometimes if you give a gift since some gifts look really nice that its hard to believe they are under $50! Like the Modal Bluetooth Speaker or the BISSELL Cordless 2-in-1 Handheld/Stick Vacuum? Awesome and affordable!
Looking for a gift for a photographer? Best Buy is running a Sony QX10 Lens offer for a free case with purchase!
Need some ideas? Best Buy has a Gift Center Guide where you can pick what type of person you are shopping for and get ideas. There is Free Shipping on orders of $25 and up or use free in store pickup (for those last minute shoppers like me.) I love the ideas they suggested, and some are ones I hadn’t even thought of!
