Graduation Gifts for a Guy

First and foremost, congratulations babe, I'm so proud of you =D

Anyways, I've been wondering if it is appropriate for me to give a bouquet of flowers to my man for his convocation. I've don't think I've ever seen a guy hold a bouquet of flowers for himself so I'm wondering....

If you all can provide me with some gift ideas as well, that would be great!

Thanks =]

Maybe a pen? mont blanc pen? if he's a business major. or even as simple as a tie. Please no Gstar or 18-19 volcom stuff haha, the man is graduating post secondary, time to turn it up a notch and get something a little more formal : ) just my two cents.

I think my gf is going through the same dilemma as well ; )

Yup, he's a business major. Accounting actually. I was looking at card holders the other day, but I don't know if that is practical for him since he has a really good wallet.... blahhhhh

Money clip that holds 2-3 pieces of ID (Coach), Business card holder (Stainless steel kind), Tie (Nice one that's medium width, straight up skinny isn't as appropriate in a business environment)

lots of great ideas here, but im going to have to ask.. whats your budget? cant get a mont blanc pen or rolex watch for $50, thats for sure

if you opt to give a tie clip, i think if you can push the dollar a bit more, go for a tie clip + cufflinks + pocket square.

I don't have the means to buy a rolex... haha but I don't have a concrete number to work with, I don't mind somewhere in the mid hundreds, but definitely can't afford the thousands...

Edit: And a noob question.... whats so great about giving fancy pens?

How close are you tow? If it is just a regular friend I say just get him a graduation teddy bear (I like one too!).

If you are really close get him something he would use like a wallet, watch. I am not too sure about the whole Pen idea. I haven't actually need a pen for ages (but again different field then your friend).

tell him you didnt want to get him a watch, tie, calculator cuz you know he will eventually end up not using it/ ware it out.

give him somthing that doesnt grow old : memories.

take him someplace he'll remember..

he likes basket ball/ hockey, take him to a game.
if hes been stressed out : take him someplace relaxing // harisson



i cant tell you what to get since i dont know him...when my ex bought me car parts, i almost cried i was so happy. lol.. its the fact that she knew what i wanted/liked that made me remember how awsome it was .

i mean if you buy him a LV wallet and he hates fashion, it aint gonna mean shit to him .

good luck!

That's a good idea! But maybe I am different I actually like present that I will use so it doesn't go to waste (clothing, wallet, watches, PS3). I hate it when people get me present that I have no use for it (decorlations, crystals that just sits there, picture frame.....).

I got a huge teddy bear and a boquet of flowers, though they were from my family rather than gf


there were quite a few guys with teddy bears and flowers.
my gf bought me a tie - and before that we spent a few days in portland shopping

Men like practical stuff. It doesn't need to have meaning behind it.
If you know him well, get him something he needs/wants.

lol just be extra kind and affectionate to him and look up to him and respect him as an all mighty intellectual cool man that he is. that's better than any tangible object you can ever buy him... other than a ferrari italia, but that's a different story.
