With the winter more than halfway over, retailers should be getting ready for the spring and summer seasons. I don’t know about you, but seeing some eye-catching bathing suits and swim gear in storefront windows sounds really good right about now. But it’s not just summer that store owners should be thinking about — graduation season is coming up fast.
College students are the first ones to break free for the season, and then all the others grades slowly trickle out with their caps and gowns. Parents and grandparents are going to be searching for some unforgettable gifts for their grads, so now is the time to start stocking up on some unique and innovative gifts for that big day. Here are some graduation gifts ideas to get those brain juices flowing:
