Graduation Gift Guide 2024


Graduation - from middle school, high school or college - is something worth celebrating. This stage of transition is exciting, and those who have accomplished this monumental task deserve a little something special to help celebrate the moment. This gift guide can give you some inspiration to help show the graduates in your life how proud you are of them this year! 

If you are feeling a bit indecisive on one particular gift, there’s always the Downtown Boulder Gift Card. Accepted at over 120 retailers (and restaurants) downtown, the graduates are sure to find something that they will enjoy! The card is available for purchase online or in person at the Visitor Information Center (13th & Pearl) or the Downtown Boulder Office (1942 Broadway Ste 301).
