What types of gifts would be recommended for a graduation gift?

Maybe as a supplement to your gift you could get the person graduating these personalized cookies. My neighbor gave them to me and they looked awesome and tasted absolutely delicious. Plus, it shows that you put the time and effort in to actually make something for him, rather than just going out and buying a gift card. Check out the example in the related link section; that was the one I got for mine and I loved it. Hope this helped!

Addition: Try those pre-made yet customizable graduation gifts from stores or online shops like Gradshop.com

It can be personal by adding your name to it or something and most of the items listed on these stores are for very useful.
