Graduation. Just saying that word causes a lump in our throats as we think about high school kids preparing to walk across a literal stage into adulthood. Do you have a senior in your home?

High School Graduation Gifts for Guys
My son loves this steamer that he borrowed from a roommate for graduation and only wishes he had taken one to school with him as freshmen.
“Roommate-Cancelling” Headphones
Consumer Reports gives the Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones
its highest marks. Your son will be incredibly grateful that you purchased these headphones once he moves into a noisy dorm.
Ordering a quilt from Project Repat is one of our favorite grad gifts as there is nothing that is more personal than a blanket stitched from memories. Take all the shirts from camps, class days, family trips and ship them to Project Repat – they do the rest.
Inspiration
Admiral McRaven has put into print his viral commencement address he gave at the University of Austin in 2014. In Make Your Bed: Little Things That Can Change Your Life…And Maybe the World
, McRaven shares his 10 principles to success that he learned in Navy Seal training, as well as stories from his life and interactions with leaders in the service, McRaven’s collection of little things that make a big difference will inspire and give hope to new graduates. Applicable to all young people (not just those in the armed forces), this book makes a terrific graduation gift.
The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch
In one of the most famous lectures ever given, this book captures Pausch’s wisdom, humor, and inspiration and belongs on every new grads bookshelf. Facing a terminal diagnosis, computer science professor Randy Pausch gave his students (and all of us) a true gift when he shared his advice for really living, all while he was dying. This is a must own title that young adults will reach for again and again when coming face to face with the real world.
Your son will love having Alexa as his Virtual Assistant to check scores, the weather, order a pizza or an Uber, help with homework….the possibilities are endless.
Google Home
Target sells Google Home and we hear amazing things about their entry into the VA marketplace.
Allbird Shoes
You have to trust us on this but these shoes may be the single most comfortable footwear we have ever worn. Made in New Zealand from the wool of the softest sheep on the planet, these are lightweight, washable, and very durable. We have given them to our sons, daughters, moms and best girlfriends and we covet the ones we wear every day. They come in every color and our sons loved the grey.
Dorm Safe
For a wallet, passport, meds or other valuables, we like the Sentry Compact Safe
since it’s small and has a cable that can be looped around a heavy piece of furniture.
Tool Set
is an inexpensive and complete set of tools that your son can use in his dorm this year and the apartments in his future.
Smathers & Branson Needlepoint College Logo Gifts
We have always been big fans of S&B and think their collegiate key fobs and belts make some of the most memorable and enduring high school graduation gifts for guys.
Choose a wallet for an upgrade to a more adult style of carrying money and cards.
Kenneth Cole Cowhide Leather Wallet
Vests are incredibly versatile outerwear and this one is indestructible, washable and comes in an array of color choices besides basic black.
Timberland Men’s Waterproof Boot
If your kid is going to school in a cold climate, don’t wait to buy him a good pair of boots as popular sizes and styles can sell out. These are classics.
Bluetooth Speaker
If, on the other hand, he wants to MAKE some noise…..consider the Bose Bluetooth Speaker. 
Water bottles that keep hot beverages hot and cold drinks cold will be a welcome addition to the dorm shopping list for freshmen. Hydro Flask is one of our favorites.
Toiletries Kit
It’s also very nice to to have a new shaving kit to take on upcoming trips, including the ones to his new college town. The Herschel Travel Kit
comes in lots of great colors and designs.
