Terrible Graduation Gifts…and Awesome Alternatives
Terrible: A Fancy Pen
A fancy what? You know, one of those things with ink that you hold in your hand and use to write things on paper.
Gone are the days when people took notes by hand; there are laptops and tablets and super smartphones for that now. You no longer doodle in your notebook when you’re bored during a lecture or a meeting, you hop onto Facebook and like photos of your friend’s dog wearing a sweet Yoda outfit.
Awesome: A Stylish USB Flash Drive
Get them a cool stylish flash drive. It sends a similar message, but will be actually be useful for their studies or new job.
Think Geek has a bunch of fun options to check out. Also, here’s an entire Pinterest board dedicated to the best flash drives around the web.

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!
