Looking for a unique gift for a high school graduate? A wallet? A watch? A scrapbook? Try giving your favorite high school graduate a gift they will truly appreciate. A gift that will make a new high school grad say "Wow Cool! Where did you find this!" and mean it! Here is a lift of gifts sure to impress a graduate about to be thrown into the 'real world'. These items are practical and fun!

Flying Alarm Clock
Do you know a teen who hits the snooze button fifty times before getting up? The kind that sits at the edge of the bed with their eyes closed for fifteen minutes? Imagine how fast they would get out of bed to catch a flying alarm clock! This great alarm clock flies off its base, up into the air! To turn it they would actually have to catch it! However, it does have a snooze button. Go figure.

Leather Bags or Laptop Backpacks
The high school graduate can now leave the days of the juvenile backpack behind. Help the upgrade by giving the the gift of a laptop back pack. You can find high quality and affordable, laptop backpacks at a site like eBags.com. Some styles even come with wheels. If you want to go all out luxury, another great graduation gift would be a leather bag. A good quality leather bag will last years.

Lighted Lap Desk
Many high school grads will soon be sharing a dorm, and possibly a desk. (Even if they have a real desk, it will most likely be covered with clothes, books and papers.) Brookstone makes a lighted lap desk that can be used just about anywhere! Your favorite high school grad will love this gift! It is a work surface with a cushion for a base, that can be used for writing, small projects, anything you would normally do at a desk. It comes with goose-neck lamp that can be adjusted, a storage compartment, and it even has a cup holder!

Noise Canceling Headphones
Have you ever been in a dorm room? I can assure you, it is not a quiet place to study. Imagine your kids laughing, and talking loudly outside your bedroom door. Its like that, much of the time. If that is not distracting enough, add a roommate who reads aloud. You could either give your graduate a gift of earplugs, or better yet a pair of noise canceling headphones. Noise canceling headphones will block out background noise while your graduate is listening to music, or even to help create silence while they sleep. These will surely come in handy.

With all the new emerging technology, there are tons of options when it comes to buying a gift for a high school grad. Along with the technology, comes all the accessories! Many teens, upon graduation, already have a digital camera, and cell phone. Instead of taking the chance of getting them something they already have, try and find some compact and classy ways to store these items. Red Envelope.com offers engraving on carrying cases for many of these items.This is a great personalized gift for a grad.
