"   College graduation is a major rite of passage. It marks the end of an insulated life and the beginning of entry into the &amp;quot;real world.&amp;quot; The best gifts will give your special grad a boost to help him or her get started in his or her new life.    After he&amp;#039;s received his diploma, it&amp;#039;s a pretty good bet that the laptop that saw him through the past 4 years is in need of a serious reboot. The perfect upgrade: a MacBook Air (starting at $999.99). As it&amp;#039;s slim and lightweight, he&amp;#039;ll find it easy to tote around. In our tests its performance was top-notch.   Lots of grads suffer from wanderlust --and who can blame them for wanting to travel and see the world after 4 years in an ivory tower? If yourgrad is going off to explore (or is just an avid hiker), treat him to a portable, hand-held GPS. Both Garmin and Magellan offer a large variety of personal navigators with unique features. The waterproof Garmin Montana ($550-$669) and Magellan Explorist Series ($130-700) have cameras so he can document his tracks and geo-coaching software that guarantees he won&amp;#039;t get lost.    To keep her connected after she&amp;#039;s cut off from free university Wi-Fi, give her the affordable and simple to use Cisco Valet ($90) home wireless system. The Valet router easily connects multiple devices to the Internet and she won&amp;#039;t need a tech expert to set it up.   Having grown up in the digital age, the average twenty-something has a bevy of gadgets in his arsenal. The Universal Charger Idapt i4 ($59.99) is compatible with over 4,500 devices and can charge four simultaneously. As it keeps a gazillion cords from tangling up , it&amp;#039;ll help nip apartment clutter in the bud right from the gitgo.    What do you mean I can&amp;#039;t use the school gym anymore? Gym memberships can be way expensive which means your grad may need to find a new way to get fit. The Nike+ FuelBand ($150) tracks fitness progress throughout the day, and turns the activities of daily living into a game by setting goals and using red and green lights to signal progress.   Is she moving into a place of her own? If you&amp;#039;re OK with splurging, you can&amp;#039;t go wrong with the gift of a new television. Samsung offers an impressive lineup of Internet ready TVs, perhaps the most note-worthy being the SmartTV ($3750) that will let her stream content live from the Internet and from Netflix, Amazon.com, and Facebook -- and control the TV with her gestures or voice. If a Samsung is way out of your budget, the Roku 2XD ($69.99) will allow her to stream content on a television she already owns. What gift are you giving your grad this May? I&amp;#039;m on the hunt for a few graduation gifts myself, and now that I&amp;#039;ve spilled the beans about what&amp;#039;s on my mind, I need some help coming up with surprises!
