Welcome to the Parris Island Buying Guide. On this page, you will find two tabs. The first tab is designed to give you ideas and information while you wait for your recruit to graduate. It also contains suggestions for items you can send to your recruit. The second tab contains new Marine graduation gift recommendations. It will help you decide what to get for that special someone after they transition from civilian to Marine.
If you click on a picture, you will be brought to a site with a more detailed description and purchase information. Most links go to Amazon.com but I will be adding more affiliates as I find them. ParrisIsland.com is an Amazon Affiliate and we will earn a small commission (at no cost to you), if you purchase items through these links.
Browse the selections in each section to give you ideas, check the prices so you can do some comparison shopping. If you have a Prime membership with Amazon, look for the Prime logo that indicates free shipping on many items.
Also visit the MCCS graduation gifts site for unique items like graduation videos, commemorative bricks, plaques, banners, etc… MCCS stands for the Marine Corps Community Services. They have direct access to your recruit’s graduation picture and can put it on a variety of items.
