Grad Gift Ideas

May 24, 2021by Madi Tice

It's that time of year again! We're celebrating the class of 2021 and all that they've accomplished with some of our favorite things! 

What do you like gifting grads? Money is nice, but a sweet and meaningful gift is always appreciated too. Here's what we like to gift grads, whether it be for high school or college. 

Congrats Grad - Future is Bright

This sweet necklace comes in four different varieties, each featuring a different charm/saying. See them all here.

And we swear by these blue light blocking glasses! If the new grad is spending hours and hours on a computer screen, these will help headaches and migraines, all while looking super stylish too. Shop all blue light blocking and regular reading glasses here.


For the tech savvy grad, these earbud cleaners are the perfect gift topper!

This book is full of info that is actually helpful and insightful for new grads! (or any adult really!) There's also a Stuff Every College Student Should Know book that is also super informative and makes a great gift!


Kaweco SPORT CLASSIC Fountain Pen - Navy Blue

The renowned fountain pen line, Kaweco, has a variety of pens that make the best gifts for grads or any professional. Gifting a nice pen to use is a timeless gift they'll use for years to come. We love The Kaweco Sport for its easy grip and accessible price point. Shop our range of Kaweco pens here. 

Leather Journal - Joseph Campbell

Another lovely idea are these leather journals featuring an elastic closure and unlined paper inside. A variety of inspirational quoted journals can be found here.

22 oz Tumbler Hydro Flask - Black

We LOVE Hydro Flask! Their vessels make the best gift for anyone entering a new stage of life. The 22 oz tumbler fits perfectly in a cup holder and keeps your drink hot or cold for hours. And we also love their water bottles. The 40 oz shown below holds all the water you'll need for your daily hydration allotment.


And for anyone entering a new stage of adulthood, this hysterical candle from Malicious Women Co. is sure to get a laugh.
Finally, don't forget your card! Here are a few of our favorites but you can shop all graduation cards here.

Buechner Quote Card


That's a wrap on our grad gift ideas. You can shop all our ideas in our curated collection here. We'll also be putting together gift bundles that make gifting super easy and updating more gift ideas soon. 


Congratulations class of 2021!!
