It’s been many years since I went through a graduation myself, but now is the time of year where many young individuals are completing an important chapter in their lives with an intense feeling of the world being open to immerse them in many new experiences. They may encounter the excitement of living in a new city, taking on their first full-time job, or just leaving home for more than just a few days for the first time.
With graduation from high school or college, staying connected to friends and family is easier than when I went to school due to the advancements in technology (Ugh, I feel old old now). The Best Buy Gift Center has some great gadgets available for your new grad to stay connected.

My personal favorite is the SanDisk Connect 32 GB USB 2.0 Wireless Flash Drive. It retails currently for $59.99 with free shipping.
