1. Noise-cancelling headphones will help block out loud roommates, chatty coworkers, or anything else that distracts them from getting *ish* done.

2. A wireless charging station for all of their techy gadgets will be the gift they use time and time again. Why does everything always need to be charged?!

3. Jewelry is a sentimental way to celebrate the grad. This compass necklace or bracelet will serve as a reminder to follow their own path.

4. A book of lessons, wise words, and funny anecdotes will inspire, instill joy, and provide a little motivation.

5. This inspirational makeup bag, filled with all her favorites and maybe a gift card or two, would make a great gift!

6. A weighted blanket will keep them warm, help reduce anxiety, and replicate a warm hug from mom when she’s miles away.

7. The tassel was worth the hassle! These funny socks would make the perfect addition to a DIY graduation gift basket.

8. And if they’re a coffee lover, this mug is another basket filler that will get tons of use.

9. A tool kit is a must!! This is one of those gifts that they don’t know they want but will be grateful they have when they’re in a pinch.

10. This phone wallet is super convenient. Pop it on the back of your phone, tuck your cards and cash in, and boom…out the door you go.

11. This themed gift box comes with an “adult merit badge” coffee mug, 400 different fun facts, and a motivational book—a little bit of everything!

12. A 3-piece luggage set will get a bunch of mileage. While they make think it will be for all of their exotic adventures, their broke selves will really be using it for all their trips back home so they can do laundry for free.

13. Who doesn’t love a sweet treat?? This tin of delicious cookies will be gone in the blink of an eye, but the sugar high will keep them going for hours.

Ummm does this setup scream summer or what?! Light colors, lemonade, a fresh caprese dish…does anyone else want to spend all afternoon here?? Woven and wooden details are balanced with crisp, clean pieces for a refreshing summer look!

This place setting is perfect for an afternoon picnic with girlfriends or an evening dinner with the fam! The woven placemats topped with a white plate, neutral napkin, and wooden napkin ring match any decor and furniture. Add a cute finishing touch like a sprig of baby’s breath to really tie it all together.

We are bringing back the summer lemonade stand! This adorable mini chalkboard is a great addition to a drink bar, whether it’s fresh lemonade (kid- or adult-friendly!!), morning mimosas, or big pitchers of sweet tea!

Seeing stars and stripes!! These flag-patterned wooden stars are a sweet addition to your table centerpiece setup, but they look great as standalone pieces on an accent table!

America the beautiful! This burlap banner is a rustic farmhouse way to show off your patriotic pride!

And if the bugs and the heat and the outdoor living aren’t really your thing, all of these pieces are also gorgeous inside on your dining room table! Add a couple pillar candles and a wooden basket for extra napkins (orrrrr…bread?!) and have yourself a perfectly pleasing summer dinner indoors.
