The best type of graduation gift is equal parts thoughtful and useful. Gifts for graduates that focus on making the next stage of their life—or the transition to it—easier are great, as well as congratulatory and celebratory gifts to recognize their achievements. Funny graduation gifts get grads in the mood to relax and blow off the steam built up over their years of formal education.


Gift your grad a day planner with inspiring quotes to help them organize their future, or a family photo in an interesting frame for their dorm room or office to show them how proud you are.

Artists on Etsy craft beautiful customized graduation gifts to commemorate your grad’s accomplishments. Send them on the cross-country trip to college with an engraved graduation keychain or commision a designer on Etsy to make a giant poster retrospective of each of their school photos to see how far they’ve come. Maybe your grad wants a blanket with their name and graduation year embroidered on it, or a necklace with a pendant of their alma mater’s mascot. A custom graduation gift such as an executive pen set lets your undergrad know that even if they’re not done taking notes, they’ll at least be doing so in style.

Flowers are traditional congratulatory gifts that add color and beauty to any space and are perfect graduation party gifts. Have a custom bouquet of your grad’s favorite flowers to present at the end of the ceremony as a way of saying, “You made it!” If you can’t attend the party in person, send flowers from afar for a graduation party surprise. Graduation flowers also pair well with gift cards, treats, and chocolate in graduation gift baskets. Florists on Etsy arrange roses, carnations, chrysanthemums, sunflowers, and a whole host of luscious greenery into festive graduation bouquets.
