Clocky Alarm Clock

This alarm clock rolls off your nightstand and disappears across 

your bedroom.  It's the perfect gift for a grad who is about to 

start a new job and is unaccustomed to early mornings.

Wanderlust Travel Map

Any student who studied abroad is likely to already be planning 

their next adventure.  A travel map is easy to DIY and allows a 

grad to mark where in the world they've been and where they're 

still dreaming of visiting.

Joy of Cooking Cookbook

Joy of Cooking is a staple in any kitchen and is an excellent 

gift for a grad who will be moving into their first apartment.

 Family Heirloom

Passing down a family heirloom is a wonderful way to

celebrate a major accomplishment.  I am patiently awaiting 

the day that I inherit my mother's amethyst ring and earrings,

which were made from amethyst buttons on one of my 

great-grandfather's dress shirts (wink wink, Mom!).

Embellished Friendship Bracelets

A sophisticated version of the childhood classic, embellished

friendship bracelets are the perfect gift for grads to give to roomies

who they never want to lose touch with!
