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. 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.

Mother’s Day is only one month away! And while 30 days might seem like an eternity, don’t kid yourself. You know how quickly time flies. So do yourself a favor and start shopping now, and then when May 11th rolls around you can avoid the panic attack and existential crisis that ensues because you forgot to buy mom a gift! Make it a gift that counts without spending an arm and a leg with a little help from the Frugal & Thriving team. See our Mother’s Day gift guide below.

1. Is it even if a gift guide if it doesn’t include a blanket? This throw blanket is cozy and warm, just like a hug from mom.

2. Smooth skin is in! This body care set of bestsellers from Osea will have her feeling hydrated and refreshed.

3. The only recipe you need! This cute cutting board breaks down all the ingredients of a mother’s love.

4. Because cheetah print + on-the-go tumbler = the perfect gift. Is it water or is it wine?? We’ll never know.

5. And for the days of outdoor day drinking, these pretty mesh wine glass covers will keep the pests away. Well, the airborne ones at least. For the others you’ll just need another bottle of wine.

6. This super sweet personalized book will show mom just how much she means. It’s a sentimental way to let her know how grateful you are for her.

7. “Best Mama.” Pretty much sums it up. These comfy slippers will be her go-to around-the-house footwear!

8. Tea time! These adorable handwoven tea bags with decorative tags are the perfect way to bring a little glamour to her afternoon cup of tea.

9. There’s nothing quite like a handwritten letter, and this shareable letter book is one that can be passed down through the generations. It’s the gift that keeps on giving.

10. What’s that smell?! Oh, that’s just mom wafting by and smelling like the absolute goddess she is. This hair and body mist is a cult favorite for a reason.

11. The tote that says it all. Great for groceries, work essentials, travel, and more, this fun tote can be stuffed with mom’s favorite goodies for an added bonus.

12. From morning to night, this coffee and wine set has got mom covered. Whether she needs caffeine or alcohol, she’s got it.

13. Darling daisy pjs for the most darling mother in the world. This soft-knit set is totally acceptable to rock all day. Loungewear for the win, right??

Mom, Mama, Mother, Mum…whatever you call her, she’s probably one of the most important people in your life, and you want her to know it! Mother’s Day is quickly approaching and if you haven’t started brainstorming gift ideas for the superwoman you know and love, we’ve got you covered. All these gifts are thoughtful and useful…and all under $100!! Because mom doesn’t care how much you spend – all she cares about is getting to celebrate her special day with the ones she loves.

1. Mom is certainly sweet enough, but this honey pot and dipper is a saccharine gift that’s perfect for tea, baking, or just a little sweet treat!

2. And if she needs a new tea kettle to go with her honey pot, this retro electric tea kettle is as gorgeous as it is useful!

3. For the beach, the pool, or a day out at brunch, this floppy sunhat is a stylish finish touch for any outfit – and it’s easy to take on-the-go!

4. The tumbler that took the internet by storm! Grab a Stanley tumbler so mom can stay on-trend…and hydrated, of course.

5. After a long day, there’s nothing quite like laying down with a Nod Pod sleep mask to help de-stress. It’s super soft and lightly weighted to ease anxiety and deliver a blissful night’s rest.

6. For the mom who is always on her phone and always on the run! This portable charger makes it easy to keep that phone at 100% (or at least like, half-charged).

7. Feeling fancy? These iridescent coupe glasses are stunning enough to display, and they make sipping a cocktail even more enjoyable.

8. For a gift that keeps on giving, this bucket list book will have mom and child up to all sorts of shenanigans and adventures. And we all know that making memories is priceless.

9. A perfect companion for the coupe glasses! Pop one of these mimosa cubes into a glass of champagne for an instant bubbly brunch beverage.

10. The Capri Blue candle we all know and love – it always makes an awesome gift! This rattan-wrapped version adds a fun bit of personality, too.

11. All she wants is to curl up with a good book and hot cup of tea. Gift her this reading valet so she can sit back, relax, and enjoy a little peace and quiet.

12. This Lululemon tote bag is super versatile! Use it for the gym, for work, as a diaper bag, or for a quick weekend getaway.

13. Who doesn’t love a basket full of snacks?! This gift basket is filled with mouthwatering provisions, both sweet and savory, and comes in an adorable tin that can reused and repurposed!
