Tasty Graduation Gift Ideas
6) It’s not really a graduation party unless there are tasty treats, right? If your graduate loves cakes, order them a custom cake from Ryann at Shake Your Cakes! You can check out cake and cupcake ideas from Shake Your Cakes here.
7) How cool are these custom Stacks ‘cakes’ from Stacks?! This is such a brilliant idea if your graduate loves candy more than cakes. A stack ‘cake’ from Stacks will include your grad’s favorite candy plus a combination of sweet and salty with nuts and protein bars to keep their energy levels up.

8) If your graduate is more about cookies than candy, you should definitely order them some unique cookies from Three Birdies Bakery! Jamie can truly make anything, from what I’ve seen, and the cookies are delicious. They’re the right amount of strong to hold their design, but also melt in your mouth. Check Three Birdies Bakery out here and place your orders soon!

Really want to get a gift for your high school or college graduate that will surprise and entertain them for months? Then these subscription boxes are the perfect graduation gifts!
10) If your graduate is like many in the Pacific Northwest, chances are they like hiking – or the idea of hiking. Get them a gift box subscription made for hikers! The Hikewize subscription box comes with hiking gear for “the perfect day hike” plus general trail tips and advice on visiting national parks. Your grad will get 5-7 high quality items per box.
Check out the Hikewize subscription box here.
11) Is your graduate into spicy foods and putting hot sauce on everything? They might be the perfect candidate for the Hot Sauce of the Month Club! This club will deliver artisan hot sauce to your graduate every month. Only the best hot sauces are chosen, and many are award-winners at major hot sauce festivals.

12) When I saw this subscription box, I immediately thought of several friends. While it may be long past our college graduations, this is a gift perfect for graduates and pretty much anyone who loves beef jerky!
The Stick in a Box subscription is a beef jerky subscription box that will introduce your graduate to 5-7 unique and gourmet jerky and beef sticks that can’t be found at local convenience stores. These are all small-batch jerky makers, which is pretty cool when you think about it!
Check out the Stick in a Box subscription here.
There you have it, over 10 different gift ideas for all kinds of graduates, from high school to college. Whether your graduate is into sentimental gifts (like the quilts!) or tasty gifts (stack cakes! Cookies! Beef jerky!), there’s something for everyone.
