It’s Graduation time! From high school to college, getting the right gift for grads can be a challenge. We share ideas ranging from the kitchen to the dorm, plus delicious ways to celebrate.
SWEET CELEBRATION FOR YOUR “SMART COOKIE”
Grad’s are smart cookies and Tiff’s Treats is a delicious way to congratulate! Hosting a home party for your grad has never been sweeter with tasting cookie trays, made-to-order Tiffwich Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches or even individual boxes, as the cookie company is all about creating memorable moments with treats baked to order and delivered warm. With 110 retail distribution locations (Shops at Village District is where Raleigh location is!) and nationwide shipping it’s the perfect gift to send any grad (and their family) to celebrate sweet endings to new beginnings. Plus, consider a gift card for the grad so they can have warm cookies delivered to their dorm when missing that extra comfort! And wait until you hear how the company was “born” in college and the now husband-wife team run the company… this is fun inspiration for those still undecided career path post grad 😉
FIRST-TIME COOKING KITCHEN HELP
For most high school grads moving to college is the first time living on their own either in dorm or apartment, and for college grads you’re fully independent at this point so kitchen items are a great gift for any grad. And specifically kitchen items that can make first-time cooks, or beginning cooking that much easier. Macy’s has everything you need in one place!
A pressure cooker will become a go-to from egg bites to heartier meals. What’s great is that they can pop the ingredients into the pressure cooker, finish up an assignment and then be ready for dinner. Foods come out just right and won’t overcook with true slow technology. This one from Proctor Silex is 3 quarts which is great for 3 plus people. And whether you are trying to get to class or the first job, we know that breakfast is an important start to your day! We love this Breakfast Sandwich Maker from Hamilton Beach. You can cook the eggs, melt the cheese and warm the bread all at one time! Save time on prep with a food chopper.
Our pressure cooker egg recipe
1. Spray silicone w/cooking spray
2. Add your choice of meat – bacon, breakfast sausage, etc. We use pre-cooked meats
3. Add a tater tot or hashed browns
4. Add eggs to fill
5. Heat in pressure cooker
6. Enjoy – we also cook and store these for the week so we can have breakfast already made!
And we can’t forget to add some little touches to make the apartment or space feel like home like this coordinating oven mitt and towel set.
ON YOUR OWN AND ON-THE-GO
Whether you’re at college juggling a full class load or hustling to make a name for yourself in your first job, graduates are constantly on-the-go in their new phase of life and they need items to help reflect that lifestyle. We are loving all these ways to take your DRINKS with you and keep you energized throughout the day.
The Proctor Silex Single Serve Coffee Maker which has two ways to brew either with grounds or a K-cup and however you prefer, you’re sure to get the pick me up with caffeine needed first thing in the morning. Stay refreshed with the Brita Hub Instant Water Filtration to keep your water bottle filled all day, or make sure you get your greens or needed nutrients with a Hamilton Beach Juice & Blender duo, Macy’s has so many gift ideas for grads when it comes to fueling up.
APARTMENT AND DORM DECOR
Your room can still reflect your style whether you need an XL twin for the dorm bunk beds, or you finally have your own room in a shared apartment! From a whole bedroom in a bag to any house products that can transform your new place into feeling like your new home. Macy’s has so many great options like these UGG set which comes with a comforter and shams and sheet sets. So you can find your favorite color or print to add your style to your room.
Or better yet, get your grad a Macy’s gift card to pick out their own items!
