15 Unique Graduation Gifts They’ll Be Excited To Receive

Graduation is an accomplishment worth being proud of. Whether it is your daughter from pre-primary, your brother in high school or your friend at college, no matter their age or education, graduating is no easy feat. That’s why your colleague, sibling or close friend celebrating this special milestone deserves the best, most thoughtful graduation gifts.

Whatever stage that particular person is graduating from, they will all have many new responsibilities and challenges that they will encounter, from moving out of their parent’s home to building their career. The best graduation gifts remind them of what they have achieved so far while also being valuable items that will help them enter that new phase of life.

From useful presents that will help them transition into their new life to bestsellers that celebrate their achievements, this is a roundup of creative, thoughtful and meaningful graduation gifts from our collection guaranteed to bring memories into the recipient’s life.

1. Smart Warming Mug with Wireless Charger

When thinking about the perfect gift for young adults graduating from university, look for things that make life easier for them post-hostel life. This Smart warming mug would make an excellent accessory in their office space in their first new job. With a USB port embedded in the coaster, they can use this to warm their drink or maintain it at a high temperature while also being able to charge their mobile devices wirelessly on the coaster. 

2. Flower Carnations

If the graduate is a beloved partner, getting them flower carnations to celebrate their achievement might do the trick. Carnations make excellent graduation flowers, with different colours symbolising different meanings. For example, red carnations demonstrate your admiration for the graduate. White carnations symbolise pure love for the graduate and pink carnations show that you will always think of them.

 

3. Personalised Office Essentials 

This might be the perfect gift for law graduates or those writing a lot in their new jobs. This set comes with a water bottle, a notebook, a pen and a Bluetooth speaker, packaged in a blue reusable gift box. You can add their names to the items to make the gift more personal and thoughtful.

4. Miniature Golf Ball Clock from Widdop

The dazzling clock comes with a sleek design that would complement an office space. The removable clock face features a satin gold face with an Arabic dial and gold clock hands.

5. Travel-friendly Wireless Speaker

When graduates are through with their level of education, they tend to take vacations and holiday trips to reward themselves. If you have a friend or relative taking a ‘grad vacation’, a Hi-Fi wireless speaker would make the perfect gift for them. They could listen to their favourite music from it while on holiday or host a whole grad party with this speaker.
