Shopping for a college graduation gift is no joke. Graduating college is one of the biggest accomplishments in a person’s life (I know for me it was), so you obviously want to find a gift that reflects this important milestone. Needless to say, the pressure is on.

College grads always appreciate cash, of course, but an occasion as momentous as this one warrants a gift even more special than a card with a check. Take it from someone who has a lot of graduation presents to buy this year; shopping for grad gifts isn’t easy. You want to get a gift that’s meaningful but useful at the same time. If the grad you’re shopping for is moving out on their own, a nice apartment gift is always a solid option. Or maybe they’re deciding to backpack Europe right after graduating — that’s where a customized travel journal comes in. No matter the circumstances, here are some of the best college graduation gifts for 2024.

For the traveler

For $300, you can get a checked bag, carry-on luggage, packing cubes and a luggage tag. I’ve spent countless hours researching different luggage options and can guarantee that this is the best deal I’ve seen thus far. Those looking to take off to foreign destinations after graduating will be set with the CalPak starter bundle. Of course, the luggage itself isn’t top of the line and doesn’t include all the bells and whistles more high-end suitcases may offer, but it’s just what a graduating college senior will need for their upcoming trips.&nbsp;

One of the best things a person can own is a journal. Looking back on entries from my travels and younger years is one of my favorite things to do when I’m feeling down. Gift the graduate a customized journal so that they’ll always have a special message to look back on as they document their new adventures.

These hand-poured soy wax candles have different scent profiles for each state. Arizona, for instance, smells like desert sand, blue agave and citrus. Kentucky’s got notes of bourbon and praline, while the Colorado candle evokes spruce, sandalwood, amber and cinnamon.

Influencer Emma Chamberlin’s Chamberlin Coffee brand has been taking the coffee world by storm the past few years. So every caffeine-obsessed grad would likely love Chamberlin Coffee’s Cold Brew Starter Pack. The pack includes a 10-pack of Chamberlin Coffee single-serve portions (you can choose which blend), stainless steel straws and a Chamberlin Coffee mason jar.

Every coffee lover moving into their first apartment should look no further than Fellow’s French Press and Go kit. The French Press and Go kit includes an electric kettle, a French press and two to-go mugs. The kit is available in a variety of colors, allowing a little bit of personalization to every purchase.

One of my favorite things to get my friends is photo books and prints of our time together. VistaPrint allows you to customize everything from canvas photos to glassware, making it a great website to personalize gifts for your college grad.

The Work Tote by Beis is the work bag of every young professional’s dreams. The bag includes an interior zippered pocket, laptop pocket and adjustable straps. My favorite aspect of the tote is the design itself. The tote comes in a variety of designs, all of which help the bag easily transition from a work bag to a happy hour tote.

I ordered the Work From Anywhere Kit on a whim before I began my job and I now swear by it. As remote and hybrid work continues to take over the job market, having a kit on hand that holds charging cables, passwords and other tiny things commonly forgotten at home is more than beneficial. The case includes a two-in-one charging cable, phone stand, sticky notes and so much more.

While a backpack may not be at the top of someone’s wish list, as someone whose whole entire work life relies on carrying around a 16-inch MacBook, I can attest that a good backpack is essential. Grad school means more books and tech than undergrad, and having a nice backpack that allows you to comfortably carry around everything you need without breaking your back can be very valuable. Although they are a bit pricey, Troubadour backpacks sit at the top of my best backpack list. The design is professional and it feels light on your back, even when it’s full to the brim.

For the college grad looking for some life advice on everything from love to career to familial struggles, Cheryl Strayed’s Tiny Beautiful Things covers it all. The book is a compilation of Strayed’s advice column, which she writes under the pseudonym “Sugar.” Featuring dozens of Strayed’s columns, the book will help guide anyone through confusing situations in their life.
