From helping to pay off student loans, easing tuition or room and board costs, helping to fund a move into a new apartment or closer to a new job, some cash can be crucial in giving them a little bit of financial wiggle room.
  • Vacation: After years of studying hard, giving your grad an opportunity to take a trip is sure to be much appreciated.
  • Fountain pen: A beautiful pen that can be used for many years to come is a touching gift that can signal the shift into adulthood.
  • Kitchen essentials: If they’ve just graduated college and are planning on moving into their own place soon, get them off to a good start with home goods and kitchenware so they have less to shop for when they’re trying to stock their new place. Slow cookers and coffee makers make great gifts!
  • Laptop or tablet: With the way technology evolves so quickly, if your grad has been using a computer or tablet that’s more than a couple years old, they could be missing out on some useful new features.
