Congradulations to the Class of 2 0 1 7
Well, the members of the class of 2017 are finally making their way into the next chapter of their lives. Whether it be high school or college, a new generation of young and fresh students are about to enter into a whole new world. So, what to get them?! I have collected just a few go to graduation gifts for students. While parents often do something special or specific, these gifts are for your friends, nieces or nephews, siblings and so on and so fourth. Feel free to click on the bolded words to see more products! So, lets get into it.
1. Customized or unique piece of jewelry
Receiving a piece of jewelry from a friend is probably one of my favorite ones to receive, especially when you know it is something that is truly meaningful. For example, I once received a simple silver bracelet with a personal quote inscribed on it. Not only is this a cute piece that I can wear every day, but it also reminds me of the person who gave it to me and the occasion for which they gave it to me. It obviously varies depending upon the person that you are buying for, but I often find very unique, cool, and personal gifts on Etsy, which I highly recommend.
2. Weekend Tote
This has been my moms go to grad gift for years and it has always been a hit! A nice, adult looking weekend tote is something that every grad needs in their new chapter. From going on trips after graduation, to spending weekends at your friends new apartments or colleges, your grad will be very thankful for this gorgeous new tote, which I'm sure is an upgrade from the old LuLuLemon gift bags they had been carrying during high school.
3. Headphones
I know it may seem basic, but a nice pair of headphones is something that a new grad would love. Whether they are going to college or entering the work force, nice headphones are something that a new grad is not only unlikely to invest in, but also something that they would use all the time. It's not like you are buying them some super fancy pen or business cards, which although they would use would really not be as much fun. I personally love the beats wireless headphones. They are reasonably priced, have incredible sound quality, and are small and discreet looking.
4. A tool box
It's random, I know, but a friend once recomended this and I thought it was genius. Moving into a dorm room or a new apartment, you have to hang things, measure things, and so on and so fourth, but no one ever thinks to buy these tools with them along with all of the other belongings. You will be the favorite friend if you buy this for your grad. Not only will they be set for move in day, but they also will become the most popular person on the hall because, well, they will have their tool box!
Xoxo,
