As graduation approaches, more and more seniors begin to think about a multitude of things. Things like, getting a job, getting a job, where that job will take them, having a job, thinking about graduate school etc etc. But before they begin their journeys into real adult life, they must graduate. And with graduation comes graduation gifts! While most graduates will ask for things like, money, money, more money, cars and gift cards some are thinking outside of the box. I asked a handful of seniors what non-traditional gifts they were asking for.

Lasik

Cost: $4000

-As someone who has the eyesight of a bat, this one has come to my mind more than I can count on one hand. While the surgery is on the pricier side, it's estimated to save you around $13,000 throughout the course of you life. (Money you would have spent on glasses, contacts and doctors visits and God only knows recently graduated students need that money) Also the surgery is so advanced and recovery is only a couple of days before you're good to go.

Plastic Surgery

Cost: depends on the procedure you have done and your doctor but anywhere from $2100-$6000

-This was actually one of the more popular answers that I got. Some girls wanted nose jobs, a lot of them wanted boob jobs and I even had one that wanted to have her butt lifted. This was one of the ones that I felt was the most ridiculous considering one girl justified it as “It'll make me feel more powerful in the work place."

Christian Louboutin shoes

Cost: $700-$5000

-Once again, this was justified as “a work necessity." I can't even hate though because while researching the prices of these beautiful shoes, I found myself wanting a pair myself. But honestly, I'd be too scared to wear them out of my house. Or even take them out of the box. Or breathe on them.

Metro Pass

Cost: Approximately $1300

-This is actually a super brilliant gift idea if you're moving to a place like New York or Chicago or anywhere with a subway system that you plan on using as a main mode of transportation. This girl even went on to say that she plans on selling her car before she moves because she never plans on using it.

J.A. Henckels knives

Cost: (Depends on what set you get) $89-$350

-IF YOU PLAN ON HAVING A KITCHEN AT ANY POINT IN YOUR LIFE YOU SHOULD GET A GOOD SET OF KNIVES AND THESE ARE THE BEST. END OF TALK.

500$ Pizza gift card

Cost: See above.

-This human got major creativity points. Also I wanna know if you can actually buy a gift card to a pizza place with this much money on it.

• If you find out let me know… for a friend.

William Henry Super Fancy Monogrammed Ball Point Pen

Cost: $375-$2000

-Let me start by saying that this answer came from one classy ass dude. This is the gift you get for someone that you know is going place because hell be writing with a pen that is worth like 3 months rent. Papermate is for peasants.

Ostrich Cowboy Boots

Cost: $300-$600

-For the man that wants to remain in the South but looks like he owns an oil rig and not like he's been eating Ramen noodles for the past 4 days.

A salon gift card so that they can get their nails done every 2 weeks for a year

Cost: Approximately $500

-If having perfectly polished and manicured nails at all times is your s#&t then this is the graduation gift for you! Change your nail color as frequently as you change your mood! Mood nails!!

A new fly fishing pole

Cost: (Rod and Reel, because apparently they come separately?) anywhere from $400-$2000

-Do you live near a river? Does your new job allow for a lot of free time? Do you enjoy catching fish and then maybe cooking them? If you answered yes to any of these questions then this gift is for you! Fish on college graduate!

A La-Z-Boy Recliner

Cost: $280-$700

-I don't know about yall but for me, I'll know that I have made it as an adult when I finally own a nice piece of furniture. And a plush La-Z-Boy recliner is a nice piece of furniture to adult in.

Quote: “The biggest, fanciest TV on the market"

Cost: (I picked the nicest most expensive one I could find) $39,999.

-Lets start off by saying that if this is TRULY what this guy meant, then this TV costs almost as must as all 4 years of my college tuition. And also, if he did mean what he said, I wish him luck when convincing his parents to get this for him.

A drone

Cost: $50-$2000

-These things creep me out and I can only imagine what a frat guy would want with this.

A riding lawn mower

Cost: $1000-$5000

-I have no idea where this guy plans on living after graduation but he is one of two things.

1. Planning on moving to the countryside and raising a bunch of cows

2. Is lazy and doesn't wanna push mow his (probably) tiny lawn

Quote: “All the puppies"

Cost: Priceless.

-All. Of. Them.
