Great Gift for Wine Lovers!
Unique Sculpture that is also a wine holder!
Male Executive Wine Bottle Holder H&K Steel Sculpture 6061-LI
Amazon Price: $77.50 (as of 06/02/2012)
I love this executive themed gift! Perfect present for a recent MBA graduate.
Are you buying for your daughter, wife, girlfriend, or female friend or relative? Then check out the female version of this sculpture/wine holder!
Motorized Tie Rack with Light
Important Organizing Tool for the Business Man
Sharper Image PowerTie Motorized Tie Rack (SI708GRY)
Amazon Price: $99.99 (as of 06/02/2012)
How about a useful gift idea for the new graduate? How many times have you tried to find that tie in your dark closet? This tie organizer lights up and moves the ties towards you so that you can find the perfect one quickly. It'll make the morning go so much smoother!
Sure, there are cheaper tie racks... But they have some bad reviews. This one costs more, but it has all positive reviews, and it looks like it should hold up for a long time.
"Dangerously Overeducated" T-Shirt
Gag Gift Idea!
Dangerously Overeducated Funny Ringer T by CafePress
Amazon Price: (as of 06/02/2012)
High Quality Professional Briefcase
A Practical Gift Idea

Amazon Price: $95.00 (as of 06/02/2012)
Great Book Idea for the Business School Graduate

The Best Office Chair - A gift they will be very thankful for!
Their backs will feel better with this chair!
Aeron Chair by Herman Miller - Official Retailer - Highly Adjustable - Graphite Frame - Lumbar Pad - Carbon Classic (Medium)
Amazon Price: $849.00 (as of 06/02/2012)
Herman Miller has been designing chairs for decades, and if I had to choose the best office chair, it would be this one.
I should have bought a chair like this one. But instead I was cheap and bought a lower priced computer chair, but after a year or two, the chair became painful, and now I've gone through several chair cushions, and will probably end up replacing this chair I'm sitting in right now.
Start off on the right foot with a chair like this one.... It's a gift that will be very special, and nothing better than presenting it as a graduation gift!
A Gift that will be Treasured Forever
Best Ball Point Pen - Feels extra special to be writing with this!
Montblanc Meisterstuck Classic Ballpoint Pen
Amazon Price: $298.00 (as of 06/02/2012)
Beautiful Design. Excellent writing instrument. Gold plated clip with individual serial number. Impressive pen.
Read the reviews and find the perfect pen.
Special Desk Clock with Photo Frame
Good Desk Gift Idea
Bulova Forte II Picture Frame Clock
Amazon Price: $22.45 (as of 06/02/2012)
Put a picture of their graduation day in the photo frame to remind them of their accomplishments, or put a picture of their family so that they will have a nice picture to look at while at work. Everyone likes family pictures on their desk!
Wearing a Watch like this Makes a Statement
This watch often goes on sale for about $200-$300 lower than the retail price!

A Very Useful Gift Idea!

Amazon Price: $100.00 (as of 06/02/2012)

- The Aeon chair is very nice, but you may want to consider adding the Steel cases Leap chair as well. That is 100x better imo.

- For men, a nice briefcase that will hold a laptop is great. I noticed when I was in grad school, a lot of guys still were using book bags. That doesn't look good when they leave school. I have one from Orvis that I love.
