For The Grad Who Has It All (Almost)

Graduated In Style: The Ultimate Gift Guide

Jun 03, 2025

I know that most kids probably want cash for their graduation. However, sometimes you want to give something more special that shows a little effort, especially for a college or grad school grad. Give them a gift that symbolizes growth, accomplishment, and pride in their achievements!

Fine jewelry is an amazing gift that any girl would love. I think classic gold huggie earrings are a timeless piece that they can wear forever! I have these from
Aurate and love them! They come in various sizes and are well priced.

A ring in real gold is such a special gift and something she will have forever. Like this quatrefoil diamond and gold ring, she can add to her ring stack.

For the fashion-forward girl, hand chains are also trending! I have one from LSC Fine Jewelry, and I get so many compliments on it! I prefer it in real gold, so that you can wear it without worrying about it tarnishing.

For the high school grad, a bag makes an amazing gift. I think the Longchamp tote is chic and comes in some fun new colors.

The Hermes Twilly is a gorgeous gift. Who doesn’t love to get a pretty orange box! The scarf can be tied on a handbag (looks great on the Longchamp!) or around the wrist or neck. It runs around $250.

Every girl needs a nice leather “going out” bag too :) Ours was Kate Spade back in the day!!

Staud makes some cute shapes that aren’t terribly expensive. This is a nice classic style and shape that can be worn dressed up or down.

Heaven Mayhem is a hot new jewelry brand. They make this jewelry box that looks like a coffee table book. Loved by all ages, and a fun addition for a new dorm room, apartment, or house.

You can never go wrong with luggage. I love the Beis suitcases and matching carry-on bag. GREAT gift for all ages!

FOR THE GUYS

We all know that keys will be lost in college. I think the Air Tag keychain is genius. And it’s $12. It also comes in some good colors too for the girls :) Shop AirTags HERE. A cute gift to add with some cash for the grads!

If he’s edgy and into jewelry, the David Yurman bracelets are great and under $300.
