Gifts that help new grads personalize their work space can be stylish and thoughtful.<\/p><\/div>\n

(StatePoint) Graduation celebrates one of life\u2019s major accomplishments. It also celebrates independence, which is often eagerly anticipated — albeit a bit scary. As a result, most people are tempted to give gift cards to recent graduates to alleviate fears over upcoming expenses both after high school and college. But there are many practical and meaningful gifts you can get your grads that they\u2019ll both appreciate and remember for years to come.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor many people, graduating will be an accomplishment they\u2019ll reference as one of their greatest achievements,\u201d says Christopher Warnack, vice president of marketing and visual at Things Remembered, a leading retailer of personalized gifts. \u201cTake the time to hand-pick a gift that says how proud you are.\u201d<\/p>\n

These ideas can help you make meaningful selections:<\/p>\n

High School Graduates<\/strong>
\nThey\u2019re college-bound and they need great items to outfit their new dorm room. Consider gifts for high school graduates that are functional, decorative and let them put their personal flair on their new space. For example, a sweatshirt blanket in their new school\u2019s color, customized with collegiate letters, is both practical and a great way to show college pride, and colorful monogrammed wall art makes for great dorm room decor.<\/p>\n

For parents, encourage them to come home once in a while with a monogrammed duffle bag, perfect for a weekend trip back to the homestead to get a great meal and some clean clothes.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget friends. Whether separated by campuses or majors, reminders of friendship like specially created playlists or framed pictures of the two of you will remind them of good times with good friends.<\/p>\n

Customized subscription boxes can help you create fun, monthly care packages of beauty supplies, candy, snacks or books. Both practical and eagerly anticipated, monthly subscriptions make truly thoughtful gifts for students on a budget.<\/p>\n

College Graduates<\/strong>
\nThe right gifts for college graduates will start them off in style, and help them survive the sometimes intimidating world of \u201cadulting.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a sad reality in today\u2019s workplace,\u201d says Warnack, \u201cbut some of your colleagues can\u2019t be trusted with your stapler or your lunch bag.\u201d Anyone who\u2019s seen the classic comedy \u201cOffice Space\u201d can relate.<\/p>\n

Embroidered lunch totes, personalized portfolios and monogrammed desk accessories will help new college grads navigate the corporate world in style, while maintaining dibs on their stuff.<\/p>\n

If their future professional life involves a lot of travel, consider sophisticated gifts like personalized luggage tags and passport covers.<\/p>\n
