Graduating from college is an exciting milestone that deserves to be celebrated! But it can be challenging to find a unique gift the grad in your life will like and actually put to use.
While you can never go wrong with a nice card and cash, keep scrolling to check out 10 awesome gifts that any graduate would love to receive.
1. Beautiful stationery for them to write thank-you notes on
While store-bought cards are totally fine, receiving personalized stationery is both memorable and useful. Papier has a multitude of options to choose from, and they make it easy to customize your favorite style to your liking. The brand also offers planners, wellness journals and more.
Papier Rainbow Waves Stationery, $28 for 10
2. A weekend bag they’ll be proud to tote around town
Whether they’re going on a vacation or coming home to see mom and dad, this duffle from Dooney & Bourke is timeless. The waterproof and stain-resistant fabric ensures that they’ll be able to use it for years to come, and it also makes for a great carry-on.
Dooney & Bourke Cabriolet Small Duffle, $220.80 (Orig. $368)
3. A class ring they will actually wear
Traditionally, class rings get a bad rap for being worn for a year or so — and then never again. With a more classic ring, like Kendra Scott’s Elisa Signet Ring, graduates can wear it all the time since it goes with everything. This ring is covered in 18k gold vermeil and is engravable.
Kendra Scott Elisa Signet Ring, $98
4. High-quality sheets to celebrate the end of Twin-XL beds
Really nice sheets are a luxury that not everyone thinks to buy for themselves. These gorgeous Egyptian cotton sheets from Frontgate are sure to make any grad feel like a true adult. This set includes a flat sheet, a fitted sheet and two pillowcases.
Resort Pintuck Egyptian Cotton Percale Sheet Set, $155.48 – $183.08 (Orig. $169.00 – $199.00)
5. A smartwatch that will keep them organized
With an Apple Watch, graduates will have their texts, GPS, calendar, fitness tracker and more right on their wrist. While tech gadgets can feel impersonal, this smartwatch is so useful, they’ll know it came from the heart. You can also swap out the watch band to make it a more custom gift.

6. Something to remind them of home
If your graduate is moving away after college or staying in their out-of-state college town, a Stainless Steel City Map is a great way to keep home close by. The “map depicts bird’s-eye view of your favorite city and streets,” and most major cities are available for purchase.
