More Graduation Gift Ideas

Still looking for the perfect graduation gift?  This is second edition of reviews for our top selling graduation gifts. Based upon Irv’s Luggage sales, the top gift still continues to be a laptop briefcase or a laptop messenger bag. These business cases are virtually flying off our store shelves.  Also, given the incredible sales of personal electronic accessories – think iPad, iPhone, smartphones, tablet and notebook computers – the sale of the PDA accessories are also taking off. Here are some of our top selling graduation gifts.

Laptop business cases and Messenger bags:

There are a lot of top brands to choose from – so no matter what you choose, a new laptop briefcase or messenger bag will be the perfect gift. Last week we focused on the Victorinox Architecture 2.0 laptop briefcase closeout. This is a huge sale from Victorinox and at 25% to 32% off, this is a significant sale on laptop briefcases. And, here is another brand that is rarely on sale: Tumi. Yes, Tumi is having a sale of their T-Tech Presidio collection. For a very limited time, save 25% at the Tumi sale. And, what a perfect gift for the graduating senior – great brand recognition and a laptop briefcase that will last a lifetime!  Choose the Tumi T-Tech Presidio Jackson T-Pass briefcase or the Tumi T-Tech Filbert Laptop Organizer Laptop Briefcase – both at under $200.  Plus, take a look at the Tumi T-Tech Laptop Brief Pack (aka backpack for us commoners) and the Tumi T-Pass Convertible Messenger Bag. All under $200 – a great brand name Tumi – a great price – and a wonderful graduation gift.

If Tumi isn’t your style, take a look at the wonderful Kenneth Cole leather laptop messenger bags. My favorite (and clearly soon to be the favorite of college graduates this year) is the Kenneth Cole Reaction Columbian Leather Laptop Messenger bag.  Kenneth Cole Reaction always has clever names for their bags. This laptop messenger is called the ‘Greater of Mess Than Messenger Bag’. At under $100 at Irv’s Luggage, this may be the top choice for a graduation gift. A hot buy, on sale and distinctively Kenneth Cole.

So, how about a graduation gift for the women who are graduating from college this year… won’t they also need the perfect laptop tote or women’s laptop briefcase or women’s messenger bag? What I like about the women’s briefcases is that they have a design that is distinctly feminine yet ridiculously practical. One of the top selling women’s briefcases at Irv’s Luggage is the Knomo Berkley Collection Rosa East/West Laptop Tote. This women’s leather laptop tote has a croco finish and actually looks like a designer handbag or designer tote. However, this Knomo women’s bag holds a 15.5” laptop and offers the professional woman a style of her own.

Know of a graduate who is getting (or already has) an iPad?  Take a look at the huge selection of iPad covers, iPad folders and iPad cases. The most popular seller is the iPad easel style leather case. However, Timbuk2 has a new iPad envelope style sleeve that is becoming a top seller. This offers the usual and very distinctive styling and colors Timbuk2 and at a price of under $25, it’s easy to see why this is a hot seller. Or, if you are looking for a neoprene iPad cover, check out Built NY iPad Neoprene envelope and iPad Neoprene sleeve. Great value, wonderful protection for an iPad and on sale too!
