Top 10 Perfect Grad Gifts Under £50 for the Top 10 Most Popular Degree Majors in the UK.

We thought we would celebrate the graduation of thousands of students in the UK this June and July by compiling our favourite graduation gift ideas under £50 for 2019, that adds a final touch to that certificate of achievement. We've matched these gifts to the ten most popular degree majors (www.studying-in-uk.org) studied in the UK which are: Business Natural Sciences Engineering & Technology Medicine LawSocial Sciences Sports Science Media & Communication Arts Hospitality and Tourism We were not shocked to learn that female students were more likely to select medical-related subjects, while male students favoured business degrees, according to data from Hesa. And it was no surprise that the top paid grads came from subjects related to Business, Law, Economics, Architecture and Medicine like dentistry and veterinary according to The Telegraph. So, what makes a good graduation gift? Recent university graduates are heading into a new chapter of life — as well as one that comes with more responsibilities and needs than they may have the budget for. We think the more thoughtful, fun or practical the gift the better. The gifts that make a tangible difference in their post-grad life. So, we have selected the grad gifts that range from a thoughtful commemoration of their hard work to practical luxuries they can't quite yet afford - and to make them more useful for you, they are all under £50 – Yay!

BUSINESS

Send them into the big wide world with a plan(ner). Graduating is a lot of fun, filled with celebration and excitement and so it should be, but as they enter into a new world, many graduates will find that they miss the clear goals, guidance and direction given in their 15 or so years of schooling. The HELLO TIME Planner helps individuals map out their goals, plan out their schedule, jot down their tasks, notes and ideas in a tangible, easy to use and manageable way. It's a smart and low-pressure way to provide growth and direction after graduation. Uni life is busy, and it doesn't stop after graduation if anything it gets more complex and shit gets real. Having a professional-looking, organised way to start their year like an undated planner is a thoughtful and useful gift. It's certainly better than writing things down on the back of their hand, scraps of paper or post-it notes!
