Graduation is an important milestone and accomplishment for any student. It’s a large stepping stone on the lengthy road that will shape their future. Do you have someone special in your life who has graduated or is preparing to graduate this year? Best Buy has a great selection of gifts from the gadget loving grad to the grad that is getting ready for the “big” move out of mom and dad’s house. Every graduate could benefit from a laptop or desktop PC. While these are essential for working on academics outside of class, they also provide a way to keep in touch with family and friends who may be back home. The first year of college can be tough, especially when it comes to being away from those that love and support you. Help make the transition easy!
 
Here are a few of my top picks for the “Networking Grad” who loves technology and high tech gadgets.


1. Lenovo Yoga 2 13″ Touch-Screen Laptop: every student needs a computer for research, homework, and assignments. This is the gift that will keep on giving year after year.
2. iTunes Gift Card:  an iTunes music card is ideal for the grad that may already have everything they need.
3. Seagate Backup External USB Portable Hard Drive: assists in backing up important files from the computer and can be taken on the go.
4. Jawbone MINI Jambox Wireless Speaker: this mini portable speaker streams music from your smartphone, tablet, and MP3 device. 
5. Google Chromecast: allows you to watch videos and listen to music by syncing to the television.
6. Apple iPhone 5s: makes keeping in touch with family and friends easy through phone calls, text messages, social media applications, and face time.

Even more “network” friendly gift ideas for grads that can also be found at Best Buy:

SONOS Play:Wireless Speaker for Streaming Music // SanDisk Connect 32GB USB 2.0 Wireless Flash Drive // mophie space pack External Battery Case // Surface 2 64GB AT&T 4G LTE // Surface Keyboard Cover // Samsung S-View Flip Cover for Note 3 // Seagate Backup Plus Slim 1TB External USB Portable Hard Drive // Linksys Smart Wi-Fi Dual-Band Wireless-AC Router // Speck CandyShell Cell Phone Case

In addition to the grad who loves networking and nifty electronic gadgets, Best Buy has several other choices for those who have other interests and passions. By visiting the Gift Center you can find numerous ideas for the fitness fanatic and also the grad that is getting ready to move. 

If there is one thing that every college student could use it’s a way to capture all of the new memories that they will cherish forever. With the purchase of the Sony QX10 Attachable Lens Style Camera you can receive a free case through the end of June. Redeem this offer online or print the voucher out to use in stores.

If youโ€™ve never made this easy dish then youโ€™re seriously missing out. Each bite is crispy, crunchy, and cheesy. It can be prepared quickly and only takes about 25 minutes to cook. Casseroles are a family favorite of ours because theyโ€™re perfect for busy weekends!

Those that wonโ€™t take up space, collect dust in the corner or be neglected after the initial thrill runs out. Several toys and trinkets lost in the deep depths of Toodieโ€™s room are already undergoing banishment before the year ends! Itโ€™s time to move on to bigger and better things, like Pinna podcasts and interactive activities that inspire hours of real engagement.

As a parent, I love what #PinnaAudio has to offer. ๐ŸŽง Itโ€™s the only screen-free, ad-free audio streaming service for kiddos. That means they can safely listen to dozens of podcasts, stories, and games from the comfort of their electronic device. Itโ€™s an excellent way to encourage learning outside of the classroom, whether theyโ€™re at home or on-the-go. Toodie has been really into the spooky paranormal podcast, The Ghost of Jessica Myers. Itโ€™s one of many that she listens to regularly. Pinna is definitely the canโ€™t miss gift this season! #PinnaKids #MomsOfInstagram
