The pandemic has put a damper on a significant life event for millions of students across the globe: graduation. Graduation time is usually full of celebrations and family get-togethers; however, it's been difficult to celebrate the graduate truly. Graduation gifts are a great way to show you care and contribute to their success. Here are 10 gifts that are safe to ship that will represent your love and support in their endeavors.

Digital Gift Card

Digital gift cards are a great way to give a grad what they need during this pandemic and also if you're far away. The graduate can use the gift card straight from their phone or laptop without interacting with anyone in person. The graduate will greatly appreciate using these gift cards to buy what is important for their success.

Planner

Planners are always an important addition to a graduates life. Life will be crazy after graduation with job interviews, training courses, and making time for friends and family. Planners will be a way for them to manage their stress and their schedule.

TV/Movie streaming subscription

Movies and tv shows are great for relaxing and getting your mind of things. These small subscriptions can add up for a recent graduate. Examples of movie/tv subscriptions include Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and Amazon Prime.

Home/Apartment decor

Some graduates will be moving into apartments or homes and decor can be expensive. Gifting home decor can allow those close to the graduate to contribute inspirational decor. This will keep the graduate reminded of your love as well as save them money on home decor.

Personalized tumbler or coffee mug

Everyone loves being able to show off their cute cups at work. These cups can represent a lot about a person: their favorite sports team or their favorite saying. Graduates will greatly appreciate tumblers that will last a long time and keep their drinks hot/cold during their long days.

Coffee maker

A coffee maker will always be an important appliance in a graduate's life. There will be long nights and stressful mornings and coffee makers will get them through it all.

Jewelry or watch

Jewelry and watches are great gifts for graduates. Graduates will enter the environment of profound professionalism and will need to fit the role. Jewelry can make graduates feel more confident and professional as well as remind them of how much they mean to you.

Framed Picture

The graduates will be going on new adventures and moving away from home for good. Framed pictures will mean so much to them when they are feeling homesick. Framed pictures will constantly remind the graduate of fond memories with loved ones.

Software subscription

The professional world will require graduates to have access to different softwares. Having access to these softwares allows them to learn how to use these programs and be prepared for different jobs. These subscriptions could be the difference between getting jobs and being educated on new technology.

Money

Money is the most popular graduation gift and therefore some people try to shy away from it. However, graduates will be starting a new life and will need that extra cash. Money is one of the simplest gifts and the most appreacited.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
