Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Look for companies that specialize in graduation gift baskets or at least have a large selection for graduates. These companies will deliver directly to the person, making the process even easier for you. Once you choose the right basket, you simply need to enter the delivery details and your credit card information for the basket to be rushed to the recipient.
Step2
Visit local florist shops, gift shops and even airports to buy gift baskets locally. Finding ready-to-buy gift baskets may be difficult, as most companies deal exclusively online. If you are having trouble locating them, think out of the box: visit wedding stores, commercial supply companies and even large department stores to find them.
Step3
Look for a more general gift basket if you don't know the person really well or want to choose a safer option. Gift baskets that include a selection of teas and coffees, chocolates or bath products are appropriate for almost every occasion and every person.
Step4
Customize it yourself. If you cannot find a gift basket made especially for graduation, you can choose a more general one and then add something like a small teddy bear wearing a graduation robe, a miniature graduation hat or a photo album bearing appropriate words on the cover.
Step5
Wait until the last minute to buy your gift basket if it contains perishable or fragile items. You can also choose to have the basket delivered directly and use a private shipping company for faster and safer delivery.
