Best Buy Greatest Grad

‘Tis the season for graduation! If your teen (or close friend) is celebrating, why not celebrate with them and give them something to make it even more special?

Best Buy has a wide range of gift ideas for the typical grad who may fall into these 3 different personas:

Moving Out: Grad that is getting ready for college or may be simply moving out into the world on their own. Help them get all set up!
Networker: Grad that uses technology to keep totally connected while on the go with a variety of devices. This tech-forward Grad leans on devices to make life easier go having the latest and greatest is always a priority.
Fitness Fanatic: Gifts for this grad include tech and small appliances that play to their healthy, on the go, athletic nature. Out for a run, in the kitchen or at the gym, a great gift for this grad helps them stay on track in many ways.

While I do not have a grad at home, I do have close friends who are celebrating their children’s achievements! And I asked 3 of them for a specific gift on their wishlist!

  1. A blender was one of my favorite items as a new college student — it was easy to make healthy smoothies to be careful of the freshman 15!

  2. You can always depend on Best Buy to carry good products that are reasonably priced.

  5. This is a great list of gift options. I think most people would love to receive an electronic device of some kind or other. Thank you for sharing this great post.

  6. I would be worried about what to buy the graduate at Best Buy so I would definitely chose a gift card so he/she could decide color and specific needs.
