Graduation season is almost upon us, and as you’re getting ready to close out one chapter with your grad and begin a new one, it’s a good time to start thinking about a gift to congratulate them on their incredible accomplishments. Whether you know a student finishing high school or college, these gift ideas will carry them from one journey to the next. See our graduation gift guide below.

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13

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.

Graduation is a time for feeling all the feels – you’re excited to be moving on to something new, sad to leave behind what you know and love, and proud of everything you’ve accomplished thus far. It’s a pivotal time in a young adult’s life, and supporting them as they start the next chapter of their lives goes a long way! If you’ve got a grad in your life, gifting them something special (and practical) can help ease them through this transitional period! See our graduation gift guide below.

Graduation is a special time for seniors – the air is filled with the anticipation of all the things to come, the promise of exciting new adventures, and the nostalgia of the memories made with friends near and dear. Dressing up and looking your best on graduation day adds to all of the fun and makes the feeling of growing up and moving on to the next chapter even more momentous. Whether you’re graduating high school or college this spring, we’ve rounded up some gorgeous graduation gowns so you can make the most of your moment in the spotlight! See our graduation dress try-on haul below.

White is a classic color for graduation, but this dress is anything but classic. The asymmetrical hemline, deep v-neck, and stunning lace back make this white dress a fashion-forward, sultry graduation look!

If you like the idea of a white dress but want to show off a little more of a sweet personality, this floral-print dress with mesh cutouts is a gorgeous option.

This deep emerald green dress is a classy, sleek look for graduation. The ruched waist adds a nice bit of dimension!

An elegant black dress with an asymmetrical hem and low neckline is a subtly sexy look for the big day.

And for a fun twist on the LBD, we love this dress with a lace back detail and a two-tiered skater skirt!

A flared skirt gives a lot of flirty movement, and this beautiful purple dress also has an alluring lace-up back to give it some extra flair!

Graduation day needs a little sparkle and shimmer! This rose gold-sequined bodycon dress is an eye-catching and unique option for your ceremony.

This pale pink, almost-nude dress is definitely a little risqué, but the chain strap details and the bowtie back add an element of youth and playfulness.

Another pretty pink option! This one brings beaded fringe and a high slit to an otherwise plain look so you can shimmy and shake your way across the stage!

Sequins + ombre = a perfectly on-trend graduation dress! You deserve to shine in the spotlight and this dress will help you do just that.
