Graduation is a huge milestone in everyone’s life. One of the best ways to congratulate your friend or family member on their accomplishment is to give them a thoughtful, handcrafted present. It can be difficult to come up with original present ideas- you don’t want to just hand the graduate a check or a copy of “Oh, the Place You’ll Go.” If you’re stumped on what to give the young adult who has everything, we’ve picked our favourite unique graduation gift ideas just for you.
Personalised Jewellery
Jewellery is a sweet choice as a graduation gift for girls. Instead of buying something mass-produced, opt for a personalised charm to add to a necklace, bracelet or keychain. Every time your new grad is feeling homesick, they’ll have your gifts to remind them that they’re cherished. If you aren’t crafty, but still want a gift that is completely custom, this is a perfect gift that you can create on Photobook.
Custom Pillows
Make your grad a personalised pillow with a picture, their name or a great graduation quote to give them a little piece of home while they’re away in their dorms. Include pictures of family members, pets and their friends to give them lasting memories of their loved ones at home.
Personalised Mugs
To make a tasty chocolate mug cake, all your graduate needs is a microwave and a ceramic mug- something that can be found in even the sparsest of college dorms. Place a mixture of powdered chocolate cake and powdered angel food cake in a pretty jar, and then write the recipe for the microwave cake on the jar. Gift it to the new grad the mug that they will use for their easy dessert.
Photo Blankets
This gift is perfect for both high school and college graduates. A high school graduate will love having the homey item in their home, and a college graduate will be able to proudly display the blanket in their dorm. This is especially great for those who will be travelling somewhere with a cooler climate.
Planner
Both high school and college graduates need a good planner to keep track of classes, work commitments, and plans with friends. These customised planners will help even the busiest of graduates keep track of their schedules.
Tumbler
If your graduate has a great sense of humour, this gift is for them. This travel tumbler is portable, and perfect for class or the office. Young adults don’t often have too much money lying around, which is why this refillable cup is great for iced coffees and teas from the house.
Custom Hoodie
Honour your grad’s great high school achievement by creating a personalised custom hoodie to show them off as their school’s newest alumni. Add details such as their school’s name, their graduation year, and other details that would make them feel like proud alumni of their school.
Photo Book
Photo books are a great way to look back at memories of your grad’s time spent in high school and while they’re away from home. Although they may be excited to start their lives in college or starting work, they will look back at their time in high school and reminisce of all the amazing memories they’ve created and will never forget.
