Terrible Graduation Gifts…and Awesome Alternatives
Terrible: Flowers
Neither high school nor college graduates know what the heck they’re supposed to do with flowers. Here’s what they will do with them: throw them on the couch or table where they will die a slow, sad death in the plastic wrapping they came in.
Awesome: Indoor Herb Garden
If you want to go the plant route, consider getting them some sort of indoor herb garden. This one on Amazon is around $35. Might not be the best idea for the high school grads (however this article makes it sound pretty easy to maintain an indoor garden in your dorm room), but it could be a lot of fun for the right type of college graduate.
There is definitely a strange thrill that comes with harvesting your very own basil to spice up that frozen pizza you just pulled out of the oven. At the very least, it will help the special grad in your life earn some major green points/hippie cred (always important among the post-grad crowd).

No small appliances? Really….
A Ninja Blender or the Bullet are not good but great gifts for a recent grad. Anything that encourages going to the gym and having a protein shake is a good thing.
And a stylish USB Drive is a good gift? Really…
When people can’t think of anything else they buy a USB Drive. Only clueless girls looking to gain favor with a guy who absolutely doesn’t know she exists – get these type of gifts.

The pen and jewelry (watch in my case) ring especially true.
I’m going to sound ungrateful here, but that $80 pen and $300 watch are going to be far less useful than the $380 cash. Hell, that’s my first student loan payment right there!

I like your choices except for Dr. Seuss. Surely even the most mercenary, materialistic student among us can find room to stash a tome of sage advice from Theodore Geisel! BTW, great choice on substitute for the book. I’ll leave you with this:
You’re wrong as the deuce
And you shouldn’t rejoice
If you’re calling him Seuss.
He pronounces it Soice!
