Graduation Gifts for Guys: Dorm Life or First Apartment

Many of the kids are headed to the dorm. Selecting graduation gifts for guys for the dorm are items they will use over and over. They have to do laundry. They need bedding and towels.

Choose neutral colors for any dorm items unless you know they love a particular color. I have given oversize bath towels many times. I have a friend I can pay to monogram them, which is a special touch. Monogramming keeps their beige towel from getting confused with everyone else’s beige towels. If they love coffee, don’t forget the Keurig!

A small 15-piece tool set is helpful for putting together small piece of furniture.

What if they are graduating from college? They will be moving into an apartment or house and may not have roommates for the first time in their lives. Their sheets and towels may be worn out and the kitchen items may have belonged to a roommate. Check out the First Apartment Checklist for items he will need in his new home. These will make awesome graduation gifts for him.

Graduation Gifts for Guys: Personal Items

Personal items are perfect for all of the guys you know who are graduating. All guys need pajama pants and nice toiletries. These personal items also make good gifts for college graduation and make good men’s graduation gifts.
