What to give a graduate

A graduation gift works best when it helps with what comes next. College grads starting work need a good bag, a watch or a laptop accessory. Board exam takers need a planner and something to keep them going during review. Senior high grads heading to college need dorm basics.

Graduating? Create a free graduation wishlist with your name and graduation date, add what you’d love with shop links, and share it with family. Reservations stay a surprise by default.

Questions

Is it free?

Yes. Making and sharing a registry is free, with no app to install and no limit on items or guests.

What is a good graduation gift in the Philippines?

A watch, a laptop backpack, earbuds, a planner for the board exam review, perfume, or office shoes for job hunting. Cash is also common.

How do guests avoid buying the same gift?

Each item has an “I’ll get this” button. Once a guest taps it, others see it’s taken. For things you need several of, like plates or diapers, guests reserve one or more pieces and everyone sees how many are left.

Can guests give cash instead?

Yes. Upload your own GCash, Maya or bank QR and add a short note. Guests scan it in their own app and the money goes straight to you; Manito Manita never handles it.
