With Graduation Season Upon Us, Here Are Gifts Every Graduate Actually Wants

Seniors have about a month left until they walk across the stage at graduation! Here are some ideas to start planning and buying the perfect gift for your favorite graduate. From the more basic gifts to super customizable ones, these will dazzle any graduate and help them look, feel, and be their best self to start off their journey in the real world!

1. Alumni Gear

After putting in all the hard work and dedication to graduate, it's time to rock that nice alumni sweatshirt, hat, or other apparel item. Make sure to pick the best design to match the graduates personality!

2. Adult Things

Giphy

Apartment decor and accessories, electronics, random kitchen gadgets or appliances, and things that college students never really needed before make great graduation gifts. Or, you can help them to upgrade to a newer version of these is also a great idea.

3. Money

Giphy

Money is always a safe bet when it comes to gift giving. Whether someone uses it to pay down a credit card or splurge on something nice for themselves, money will always be greatly appreciated, especially for those finishing college with some hefty student loans.

4. Picture Collage

Giphy

If you enjoy giving sentimental gifts, you should consider making a picture collage of sorts for the graduate in your life. There are so many online websites and options to customize something special for them whether it be a poster, canvas, or anything in between!

5. A Nice Watch

Nothing screams adult, more than a nice watch. It also makes for a great accessory in the office and will spruce up any interview outfit.

6. Professional Clothes

Giphy

Most college students have two kinds of outfits: the leggings and oversized t-shirt look or the barely wearing clothes going out outfit. By the time graduation rolls around, most college students are in desperate need of professional attire. Gifts cards to stores that sell great options for office outfits are great for those gift-givers who don't know a graduates size or style well.

7.  A gift card or membership for something they like to do.

Giphy

Find something that the graduate in your life loves to do and treat them to a gift card or membership that relates to their favorite hobbies. Think of things like yoga or a culinary classes. Also, items or activities and such that you know they wouldn't buy or do for themselves will make for the perfect gift and will make any graduate ecstatic!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
