It’s no wonder that graduation season brings out a frenzy of shopping and graduation gift ideas from retailers and catalogs all over the world. One of the most interesting and unique companies we have located is Shades of Fun!. They have been online since 1999 and have been offering unusual graduation gifts since the year 2000. This clever company, whose core business is offering all styles of sunglasses, uses a basic black or white cheap sunglasses style as a base then decorates the sunglasses with all sorts of charms and trinkets that showcase the various subject studies in school. They create ‘themed sunglasses’ for graduating students! It’s so cool!

Almost all of the glasses feature a gold graduation cap and diploma charm along one side and a subject theme charm on the other side. A brushed gold charm showcasing a G-clef and a couple of music notes sets the tone for the music theme graduation gifts. This would be perfect for any student who is graduating with a music degree. For theater students, Shades of Fun! uses the comedy/tragedy mask to celebrate the acting school student. Film students or photography students will love the old time movie camera and still photography camera the New York-based company uses to set up their film student graduation gifts. The still camera on the side of the glasses makes for perfect photography student graduation gifts. And for computer technology students, an adorable little computer mouse is too cute to miss!

Parents and friends looking for sport related graduation gifts won’t be disappointed at Shades of Fun!, either! The company’s line of graduation gifts includes football themes, baseball themes, basketball as well as soccer theme graduation gifts. Cheerleaders are even celebrated with a jumping cheerleader charm, making the cheerleader graduation gifts from Shades of Fun! a perfect choice for an extra special graduation gift idea.

The ideas extend even further: there are law school graduation gifts, medical school graduation gifts and nursing school graduation gifts. For classes who would like to deck themselves out in the year of their graduation like they do in Times Square on New Year’s Eve, Shades of Fun! offers great low prices for bulk buying.

For general graduation gift ideas, there are two great choices: for girls, there is an item the company calls, ‘The Funky Graduation’ and boy is it fun! This style uses a wild cat eye shape black and white checkered frame as a base and uses a year-charm on one side, a burst of simulated champagne bubbles popping over the top of the frame and of course, the graduation cap on the other side of the sunglasses frame.

There are three additional fabulous features about the graduation gift ideas from Shades of Fun!
