as summer is picking up and the fun hustle bustle of graduations are winding down, i wanted to make a little graduation gift guide for any graduates in your life just in case anyone might still be on the search! i have always loved putting together gift guides, and i am so excited for more to come during Christmas time! but for today, i am so excited to share a few ideas for gifting a graduate!
GRAD ON THE GO
a few days ago on pinterest, i came across these little travel staples, and immediately they would be perfect for a graduate, either from high school or college! we had never been a packing cube family until a few years ago, but my sister received a pair of packing cubes for her high school graduation and they were SO CUTE!! i thought this set of polka dot cubes and bags was perfect for a girl on the go visiting family or traveling for work! i also loved this hunter green dopp kit and pouches from dagne dover and thought it could be perfect for either a girl or guy! i don’t know what it was about it but when i first saw them, i thought they were made by hunter boots! i guess this just adds to my love for british looking items haha! :))
ORGANIZED ITEMS
i definitely love organizing, but most of the time most of my stuff is organized chaos haha! but, i thought these two items were so cute, and were the perfect way to add some cute organization to life! i know i say in a lot of my posts that i found certain items on pinterest, but this travel wallet is another one of those haha! although i have never been out of the country, i thought this wallet would be perfect for a grad who is traveling, and thought it was so cool how it had space for currency, tickets, and a passport! i thought it was so old school and that you couldn’t go wrong with it! i also felt like it was so versatile and great for a guy or girl! although i can’t find a link to the tote bag, i thought it was so darling and great for a weekend tote for a working grad!
NEAR AT HEART
i first remember hearing about made by mary in middle school from my friends, and it is safe to say we all fell in love with her cute designs and personalized jewelry! back then they only sold a few necklaces, but now she has so many personalized items and sizes to choose from! a few years ago they added these state necklaces, and i thought they would make such a great grad gift! i feel like a home state necklace would be so special for a girl going away to college, or even a state necklace of her college state for a girl who is graduating from college!
BLANKETS GALORE
my sister and i loveee blankets, and just can’t seem to get enough of them! a few years ago we were shopping in our favorite store hansens in california and saw these adorable local beach blankets! they have the cutest patterns in so many different colors, and i thought they would be perfect for a dorm bed for a high school grad or a great throw blanket for a new apartment for a college grad! the lighting bolt one was so cute and reminded me of my sister so i had to include it! i also loved this checkered blanket and thought it was so cute!
TRENDY GRAD
i stumbled upon these adorable pieces of artwork a few months ago, and thought they were so cute and beautiful! something about zip codes always makes me so happy, and so i thought it would make such a cute gift for a high school grad, and thought the college pieces were perfect for a high school or college grad! something about these little blocks felt so trendy, even though i am not always the trendiest, haha! i thought these were so cute and timeless, and loved how they could match any room!
that concludes this little gift guide! happy graduation season, and i hope everyone is having an amazing start to summer! :))
