Graduation season is upon us, and what better way to celebrate this accomplishment than giving a special gift? We at beijingkids went out shopping and made a list of cute gifts found online and out and about in Beijing.
Cupcakes made in Beijing
This fab baker makes these lovely cupcakes that are a perfect addition to any graduation party. Made in Beijing and delivered to your door. Contact the baker via WeChat id: hwawu001
Kindle From Amazon.com
This is the ultimate gift for a graduate, easy to move to college and you can download a few books that you would like them to read. Get it here.
A Gap Year
Why not take some time to reflect and recharge before the graduate starts out on “real” life? Gap years can be valuable to their future. If you can’t afford gifting a gap year, just get them the book. Buy it here.
Jewelry “Oh the Places you’ll go”
We can all use some inspirational quotes in our life, and all the better if they come from Dr. Seuss. This bracelet is cheap but the message is priceless. Find it here.
Tickets to a show
Tickets to musicals can get expensive, and you can always treat yourself while taking a graduate out. Most likely they’ve never heard of this movie, so you can teach them some culture while you are at it. Get tickets here.
A pillow for the new dorm room
Many first-time college students need some help dressing up their new living arrangements. This donut pillow is sure to be the talk of their dorm. Find this useless but fun gift here.
Flowers from Beijing
Head over to one of the two remaining flower markets and get a great bouquet of flowers. If the graduate does not like it, then no problem; in one week the bouquet will die anyway. This is where the markets are found.
