CHEAP GRADUATION GIFT IDEAS FOR THEM
INSTANT POT
A 7 in 1 multi-use pressure cooker. One of the best kitchen appliances that saves time and money. Anyone can cook a delicious meal with this baby. I like using it to make anything from ribs, chili, 5 minute mac and cheese, to corned beef.
AIR FRYER
There has been all this hype around air fryers and honestly I never had an interest in getting one, but my husband did. We use it at least five times a week. With 2 kids, French fries and chicken nuggets are a very popular menu item.
The air fryer cooks so much faster and is a great alternative to fried foods.
Oh the Places You Will Go – Dr. Seuss
Yes, this may be considered a kid’s book, but the advice is still relevant for anyone graduating high school or college. Plus who doesn’t love a good rhyme?

I hope the new graduate enjoys their gifts and new milestone in life!
