Between prepping for graduation ceremonies, planning parties, visiting friends and family – there’s a ton to do and lots of people to recognize for this big achievement!

Wondering what current graduates are eyeing for the perfect gifts?

GiftsForYouNow has a slew of spot-on new items from the classic to the trendy.

Here are our 2016 picks for the Top 10 Graduate Gift ideas!

Classic Black and Gold works with almost any school colors.

• T-Shirts – with designs from classic to funny, you can’t go wrong with a personalized grad t-shirt. Not only is this one super-easy, but you can get a bunch for the family to wear to support Team Grad!

• Personalized Teddy Bears – Is your graduate moving on to their first dorm or other home away from home? Give them a new snuggly friend to remind them of home and the big step they’re taking and keep them company in their new space.

• 

  Totally worth it.

  Help your grad prepare for any all-night study sessions (and the day after) with a personalized mug to hold their favorite warm beverage. Whether it’s a classic porcelain type or a travel mug, be sure your graduate has what they need.

• Monogrammed Journal – this one is a classic piece that fits all kinds of personalities. Is the grad you have in mind an artist, a writer, a dreamer? Check out this small journal with their initial stamped on the front – perfect to toss in a bag or even a back pocket so your grad can be ready to jot down their ideas at a moment’s notice.
• 

  Tell Everyone the Party is HERE!

  Personalized Garden Flag – show the neighbors how proud you are of your new graduate by decorating your walk-way or yard with a custom garden flag showcasing a photo or other details.

• Speaking of home away from home – your new graduate will need a way to keep all of those new keys in order. Check out our personalized keychains to spruce up their keyrings and add a sophisticated or fun touch to a normally utilitarian item.

• 

  Even your dirty laundry has style

  Oh yes, and we can’t forget about another big change for some grads moving away for the first time – laundry. Whether they’re using washing machines at their new dorm or bringing it home every weekend, a personalized laundry bag is a fun way to class up an otherwise dirty job.

• 

  Wow, you sure look fabulous!

  You surely have several treasured photos of your grad – whether it’s from their first days of school thru their last or a collection from the graduation ceremony itself, you can show them off along with special details on a custom canvas collage.

• The family of the graduate has a lot to do with the graduate’s success – be sure to recognize your own role with a gift for you! Check out these engraved stemless wine glasses to enjoy the party or the calm after the festivities have cleared away.
• An engraved photo frame is a perfect gift for everyone involved in the graduate’s life. Maybe it’s a picture of the sweet student on his first day of kindergarten, or a shot of the grad accepting their diploma – personalized frames keep the important details connected to your favorite photos.
