Graduation is one of life’s happiest and most exciting milestones, but possibly one of the hardest to find the right gift. The gifts given to graduates from their university, friends and family will vary according to the grads themselves, but rest assured we’ve found items everyone would be thrilled to receive from their alma mater.
Hats Off to the Grads!
Graduation season is upon us! Commencement ceremonies are scheduled, announcements are ordered, and graduates are preparing for the next chapter of their lives. Now is the time to discuss graduation gifts. The cost and customization of personalized gifts for graduation shouldn’t be so daunting. In honor of all of our graduates this year, we’ve compiled some of the best graduation gifts that everyone is sure to love.
The Best Summer Ever
After finals grades are posted and graduation ceremonies have concluded – it’s time for a much needed break! Help prep graduates for summer with high-quality vacation essentials that boast the school’s colors and logo.
The 4-person trolley picnic bag is perfect for every graduate’s summer travels.It’s spacious enough to carry all of the delicious essentials. With several pockets and wheels for easy transport, this is a clear-cut favorite. 
For a more compact, cooler bag, the 24-can cooler can be thrown right over your shoulder and taken wherever you go. You cannot go wrong with cool gifts that keep the summer heat at bay. 
Comfort and functionality are the name of the game with the mystic 3-in-1 backpack cooler. A sturdy backpack with padded straps, a built-in removable lined cooler compartment, mesh side pockets, adjustable waist straps, and loops. Take the backpack or the cooler, or take them together with plenty of room for every necessity. 
Heading Off on their Next Adventure
Graduates are closing one chapter of their lives and moving onto the next. Great graduation gifts include branded merchandise that can help them transition into their new season of life while helping them show off their graduate status with school customization.
This durable, slick looking utility organizing/trunk tote is what every grad needs to head off on their next adventure. Whether they are going off to college, entering the job field, or taking time to travel, this tote will keep them organized and ready to go. 
Stainless steel water bottles, tumblers, and vacuum insulated mugs are all great to toss in a bag and go to an interview, first day at a new job, or anywhere the day takes you. Whether that means keeping water cold or coffee hot, everyone needs a faithful traveling buddy.
What’s a better way to travel than having a cooler, backpack, and camping chair all in one. They can keep all of their gear in one place, and have a seat when they want to take a break. This works for traveling, sightseeing, or taking in an outdoor event.
