Graduation Gifts

A classic gift that anyone will use, especially those with a college or advanced degree, is a diploma frame. They should be proud of their accomplishments and will want to frame and commemorate it forever. Another place to shop classic grad gifts is from Minted. They have many photo collage options and other sentimental gifts they will love. They have a graduation gift shop filled with unique, customizable gifts. Right now, use code GRAD26 for 15% OFF grad gifts and announcements.

The easiest gift to give is something monogrammed or personalized. If you’re shopping for a guy, initial cuff links or a personalized ballpoint pen are a great gift; especially if they are joining the workforce. For either a guy or girl of any age, personalized luggage and Apple AirTags are a great graduation gift. You can gift travel items with Dr. Seuss’s ‘Oh the Places You’ll Go.’ This is a cute throw in gift that you can even write in in lieu of a card.

For someone you’d like to spend more money on (like a daughter, son, or another close family member), think about giving a watch. I love this Michele watch for girls and this Tissot watch for guys. It’s something they’ll wear for a long time. Women will also appreciate this pearl set. It includes timeless jewelry pieces that are perfect for a new job, sorority recruitment, and more. You can gift it with this beautiful travel jewelry case. For a close woman in your life, you will also want to give her the book, ‘From Dorm to Doorstep’ by Hilary Afshary. It offers tidbits of wisdom and advice as she navigates the world on her own.

If you want to give them something they’ll definitely use in college, think about giving them a collegiate tumbler, or AirPods. You may even want to gifts them a duvet cover set. Quince has many great bedding options at a low price point. Also, a girl will definitely need a clear handbag if she attends any sporting events. Another gift I give ALL the time are these O key rings. People LOVE them! It’s a great gift to pair with a Birdie, perfect for campus safety.

If they’re going to live in a dorm, a high-quality personalized robe or towel wrap from Weezie is the perfect gift and something they may not buy on their own. Weezie’s make-up towels and toiletry bags are also amazing gifts. I love that their bags are machine washable and coated in plastic and terry cloth, making them easy to clean. Other practical gifts for both guys and girls includes shower shoes, a handheld steamer, tool kit or coffee maker.
