The commencement speech, the walk across the stage, and the throwing of those tasseled black caps—graduation season is a memorable time for graduates and their families alike.
If a special woman in your life is about to become a graduate—whether a sister, niece, or friend—you may be wondering how you can help celebrate this milestone and recognize her amazing achievement. What type of gift will be just as memorable to your grad as the graduation itself?
Fortunately, when it comes to finding grad gifts for her, we‘ve put together a list of options that are meaningful, creative, and fun!
5 Best Graduation Gifts for Gals
Whether she’s graduating from high school, college, graduate school, or a professional program, celebrating your grad’s dedication and success with a thoughtful gift will add extra sparkle to this milestone.
Check out our 5 top picks for the best grad gifts for her:
#1 Jewelry
You can never go wrong with this gift idea. Classic, classy, and literally sparkly jewelry can make an exceptionally special grad gift for her. Plus, you have various options when it comes to finding the perfect piece of jewelry. You can consider choosing:
- Earrings – Gift a delicate pair of studs or something flashier, like dangly earrings for a celebratory night out.
- A bracelet – Embellish her wrist with a jeweled or charmed bracelet that she can show off as she waves her new diploma around.
- A necklace – Opt for either a bold statement necklace or a solitary pendant necklace. If you decide to gift a pendant, consider finding one that incorporates her birthstone for an extra special touch.
Another benefit of jewelry is it can be a personalized gift. You can find a jeweler that makes custom pieces.
#2 A Self Care Kit
Graduation is truly the pinnacle, the pinnacle of a whole lot of homework, tests, stress, and hard work. Treating your grad to a little TLC not only celebrates her achievement but also encourages her to relax (you know, in between all the celebratory events).
Rather than splurge for a spa package, you can easily put together a super fun at-home spa kit. Start by finding a cute basket you can place your self-care goodies. Then, fill it with everything she needs to sit back, relax, and unwind.
Some of our must-have at-home spa essentials include:
- Personalized bath towel or robe
- Bath bombs, salts, or bubbles
- Scented body wash or scrubs
- Loofah
- Essential oils
- Face masks
- Candle or a little potted plant
- Manicure and pedicure tools
- Nail polish
- Aloe socks or slippers
#3 Fitness Inspo
Gone are the days of the high school or university gym. Now, your grad will have to face the music—and by that, we mean she’s going to have to pay for her own gym membership.
Fortunately, she has you. And you can make it easy for her to skip the pricey memberships and workout at home instead by gifting her inspiring fitness accessories.
Consider creating a “Fitness Inspo” gift basket that includes:
- Reusable water bottle
- Fitness tracker
- Mini wrist and ankle weights
- Workout bands
- Resistance bands
- Yoga mat
- Cute workout clothes
#4 Luggage
For world travelers and future boss ladies alike, high-quality luggage is a must. Help your new grad get started on her travel-ready set by gifting her a cute carry on luggage. Consider either:
- A travel tote
- Backpack
- Weekender bag
- Wheeled suitcase
To ensure the best quality, purchase her luggage from a reputable brand, like Kate Spade, Coach, or Michael Kors.
#5 Stationery and Pen Set
Sure, everybody emails and texts these days, but there’s nothing that says “I’m a professional adult ready to enter the workforce” better than mailing a thank you letter following a job interview.
Consider gifting your grad the cutest stationery and an heirloom quality pen. Who knows—she may even write you a thank you letter for giving her such a thoughtful and timeless gift.
Before You Shop For Her, Think About Her
With so many gift ideas to choose from, you may find yourself unsure of which to pick for the recent grad in your life.
Before deciding on a great graduation gift, it can be helpful to take a moment and think about your grad in particular. Ask yourself:
- What’s her style? Does she like to go glam or keep it minimalistic?
- Does she have a particular hobby that you want to support?
- Does she like to stay active, or does she prefer to chill at home?
- Will she be living on her own for the first time? If so, what does she need?
