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

In This Article:

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

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

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

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

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.

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!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
