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.

For those of you who are expecting, pregnancy is a beautiful journey. And labor, while it may seem intimidating, is just another amazing part of the miracle of bringing a life into this world. Whether this is your first child or your fourth, and you’re in your first trimester or past due, we’ve rounded up the hospital essentials that you can have packed and ready to go for when that big moment arrives…we just can’t help you find your keys (pssst – check your purse).

Hospital Bag for Her

Okay, Mama, this is it! Pack your cute weekender bag with these hospital-stay essentials so all you have to worry about on delivery day is bringing that beautiful baby into this world. Cozy clothes like loose-fitting pajamas, a cotton robe, comfy pants and a light t-shirt are all you’re going to want to wear. Bring slippers and fuzzy socks to keep your feet warm and flip flops for the shower. Maternity underwear and nursing bras are convenient undergarments. Grab all of your travel toiletries and plenty of hair ties and pack them all in a fun hanging toiletry bag, and don’t forget your pregnancy pillow so you can relax comfortably (or at least try) and a portable charger to charge all of your digital devices quickly and efficiently.

Hospital Bag for Him

Dad – you may not be the star of the show today, but you certainly play an important role, so it’s crucial that you are packed and ready to go, too. Get your duffle bag and pack it with lots of comfortable clothes like athletic wear, sneakers, and sandals. A toiletry kit will have you practicing proper hygiene (thank you!!) and you can fit them all in this toiletry bag. A pillow and blanket are going to be life-savers when you’re trying to sleep on a hospital chair, and headphones will keep you occupied with music or podcasts during down time. Bring a camera for documenting this amazing journey because you’re going to want to remember these moments forever.
