Why not give your grad a piece of their history with this Oregon Trail card game or perhaps a classic for their game night. Clue or Hungry Hungry Hippo anyone? For a modern game, how about some exploding kittens?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hydration!<\/strong> Doesn\u2019t matter what you\u2019re doing or where you\u2019re going &#8211; water and hydration is key!!

It\u2019s all about how you package it! We keep it simple with delicious brews such as Bruery Rue or uniquely brewed Soda paired with snacks.\u00a0 We\u2019ve even done a few themed packs. How about Trader Joe\u2019s pineapple juice or calamansi juice paired with a floating swan for your grad\u2019s next trip to Palm Springs? Maybe an ice cold Tecate (or Corona) to go with their some flaming hot cheetos or takis? A classic soda, butter popcorn, and some classic candies for that Netflix night in? Oh the possibilities are endless!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bust out the bottles for the 21+ crowd.<\/strong>\u00a0 There\u2019s much to be gifted that you can enjoy with your grad. How about a custom engraved 12 year Glen Livet, Johnny Walker, or wine bottle?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Material gifts may not be your jam. How about gifting an experience?<\/strong> For your 21+ grad, how about a unique tasting &#8211; say at a sake or hard liquor distillery?\u00a0 Maybe a taste of something local with axe throwing, driving big ol&#8217; construction vehicles, or freezing yourself like the athletes do. Looking for something cool to do internationally? Riding in go karts around Tokyo seems pretty awesome or even climbing waterfalls in the winter!!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Let\u2019s face it. At the end of the day some of us just want to gift an easy something or other outside of cash. Gift cards work. Perhaps their favorite ride sharing service, grocery, food delivery service, travel credit and gift cards for flights, or shoot, how about an Amazon Prime or Costco membership?
