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.

Tops: Layering up is essential for staying warm! Get simple layering pieces in different colors so you can wear them alone or under a sweater. We like this cream tank bodysuit and this basic black tank. Add a couple long sleeve tops in different varieties like this flattering black mock neck top or this beautiful purple Portofino shirt.

Sweaters: Cozy up with cute sweaters! Think options like this dark green tunic sweater, this cream turtleneck sweater, or this sophisticated purple cardigan. We also love sweater dresses, and this emerald padded shoulder sheath dress is stylish and comfy!

Pants: Focus on the essentials. We’re talking one good pair of black distressed skinny jeans, a pair of complementary-colored dress pants, and a pair of black velour leggings.

Jackets: Stay toasty with a few different jacket selections. This fun purple blazer is perfect for work or play, and this cream puffer jacket will keep you warm and looking good on the coldest of days.

Shoes: As much as we love shoes, keeping a couple good pairs of go-to shoes for winter will make getting dressed a breeze. These black heeled booties, cream combat boots, and pretty purple ballet flats will look great with any outfit.

Revamping your winter wardrobe doesn’t have to be expensive or time consuming. If you stick to staple pieces that you can mix and match and wear over and over again, you can make it through the season with just the basics! Pick a color scheme you love – aim for lots of neutrals with a few pops of color in complementary shades. We’re digging this cream, gray, and black wardrobe with a handful of blush and burgundy pieces thrown in. Shop our capsule wardrobe guide below.

Tops: Layers, baby, layers!! Grab yourself some simple layering pieces so you can build up and bundle up. Start with a couple of layering tanks like a black scoop neck tank and a gray cami. Then, add a few long sleeve tops in different varieties like a white thermal tee, blush v-neck, and gray wool-blend turtleneck.

Sweaters: Now we get snuggly. You’ll need a more casual sweater like this slouchy burgundy one and a dressier sweater like this v-neck cream one. A couple cardigans are also a must. Get different styles like this long cream cardigan with pockets and this button-up gray cardigan.

Dresses and Jackets: One winter dress is all you really need! Opt for a classy version like this turtleneck midi dress in a beautiful blush. Choose a few different jackets that you can wear with multiple outfits for multiple occasions like this dressy burgundy wool-blend coat, this cream sherpa jacket, and this black leather jacket.

Pants: Focus on the essentials. We’re talking one good pair of dark wash skinny jeans, a pair of neutral ankle pants, and a pair of black faux leather leggings.

Shoes: It’s all about the boots for us! You can’t go wrong with sophisticated black knee-high boots, cream faux suede ankle booties, and of course, winter weather friendly quilted boots.
