    If You Don’t Know What To Gift The College Grad In Your Life, Check Out These 36 Products

    As a recent college grad, I would have loved every single one of these. #collegegradapproved 👍

    1. Sol De Janeiro hair and body mist that smells absolutely divine. When they walk into a room, they're seriously going to be turning heads because of the vanilla, salted caramel, and pistachio scent trail they leave behind. Trust me, you cannot go wrong with getting them this perfume — it's a crowd-pleaser.

    Side note: Every time I walk into Sephora, I spray this on because it smells THAT good. 

    Promising review: "I have smelled this on other women in public and have been too scared to ask what it was they were wearing. I bought this on a whim on the Prime Day sale and was FLOORED. It’s equal parts summer/beachy with an almost coconut vanilla essence but also gives cozy fall vibes as well. I can’t stop smelling my own hair, this stuff is amazing." Caralina Casperson

    Get it from Amazon for $24 (available in six scents).

    2. A custom nameplate necklace because they deserve to wear their name around their neck. After all, four years of college (and maybe some partying) is no easy feat! It's stainless steel and plated with 18-karat gold *AND* reviewers rave about how it doesn't tarnish.

    The necklace chain length is 18 inches plus a 2-inch extension. 

    BTW, it can take 2–3 weeks to ship since it's custom made! 

    Promising review: "I love it! I’ve had it for a while and take showers in it, go to the gym in it, and it never turns green or irritates my skin. Also bought one for my sister, she loved it too. It can be a perfect gift." —Brittany

    Get it from Amazon for $13.97+ (available in a variety of names and customizable options).

    3. A splurge-worthy Longchamp tote that'll definitely show them that their hard work has not gone unnoticed. It's the perfect office, travel, and on-the-go bag *and* it looks downright sleek and professional!

    I got this GORGEOUS bag as my graduation gift and I love, adore, and worship it (granted I was the one that asked for it). Even though I WFH, I bring it with me every time I have to go into the office or work at a cafe because it holds my laptop, iPad, charger, *and* there's still enough room for a light jacket — plus it makes me feel like such a ~girl boss~. It also has a small inner pocket that I use for my keys, wallet, and phone so they don't get jumbled up with everything else. I also use it for overnight or two-day trips and it fits literally everything that I need. The shoulder straps are perfect because I've been on the struggle bus to find a bag that doesn't fall down my shoulders and this was it! Plus, I LOVE how it can fold up into a tiny little rectangle so I can store it without ruining the fabric (it's waterproof btw). Moral of the story: RUN, don't walk to get them this bag. 

    Promising review: "I love this bag! I use it for travel. My laptop, a small crossbody as well as a charger and snacks all fit comfortably. Fits under the airplane seat without issue and is stylish." —jkbott

    Get it from Nordstrom or Longchamp for $155 (available in seven colors). 

    Psst... you can check out other sizes and styles here!

    4. A *leakproof* Simple Modern tumbler because their other tumblers just don't fit in their car's cupholder but no fear, this will. It has such a sleek and simple design so you can't go wrong with whatever color you choose for them. The innovative lid design allows them to turn it so they can place their straw in four different locations!

    another reviewer holding the pink cup

    Here's what BuzzFeed editor Jenae Sitzes has to say about it: "I finally decided to hop on board the TikTok hype train for these big tumblers and am already obsessed with my Simple Modern one! I opted for the mint green color and it's as pretty as I'd hoped in person. The fact that this has both a straw and a handle means I end up carrying it around with me and drinking WAY more water than I did before."

    Promising review: "Obsessed with this one! Had the Classic 28-oz tumbler that lasted for over two years and decided it was time to let go and get a bigger one. For the longest time I struggled deciding between Simple Modern and Stanley, so glad I stayed with this brand! Not only is it cheaper, but I love solid matte black anything and everything, so this is just perfect! Keeps my water cold for hours and fits in my car cup holder." —Allyza Rafols

    Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in two sizes and 28 colors).

    5. Or an Owala FreeSip tumbler so they'll never have to painfully chug down lukewarm bevs as it'll keep drinks cold for up to 24 hours with its triple-layer insulation! Plus, it's all the hype right now, and for good reason. The thing that sets this beauty apart is the spout where they can either drink H2O through a straw or tilt it back to swig.

    Oh, and I almost forgot to mention that it was featured in Time's Best Inventions of 2023!!! They also have a Marvel collection you can check out here.

    6. A Five Minute Journal that won't take too long to write in, because they're going to be busy bees now. They'll be able to jot down their daily highlights, weekly plans, affirmations, and so much more! This will def get their young adulthood started on the right ~page~.

    Promising review: "I'm in love with this journal! At first, I thought it was a bit pricey, but this journal is definitely worth the price! Starting the day with it gets me in a positive mood, and I can tell that I'm more excited and ready for the day to start! I love how the format of this journal is super simple and easy to follow!" —Hur JaYoon

    8. An Apple Watch that basically says "hey, you're an adult and you can have nice things now." They'll be able to keep track of their health, monitor their sleep, listen to music, and respond to texts and calls — you'll never get the excuse of "oh I didn't see your message" ever again!

    reviewer holding just the face of the watch

    Promising review: "This has officially replaced my Fitbit. I didn't think I would like the fact that I was going to be able to have my messages at my fingertips but I love it. I'm not at work picking my phone up every time I hear it go off. I can take a quick glance at my watch and go about my business. In meetings this is great as I'm not being rude and picking my phone up to read a message. I have a fairly small wrist and glad I got the 40mm because it fits just right!!!" —Ariel

    Get it from Amazon for $189+ (available in six styles, two case sizes, six wrist band sizes, and with or without AppleCare+). 

    9. A mini Olaplex Strong Days Ahead Hair Kit because who wouldn't appreciate hair products? And better yet, Olaplex! It comes with their famous shampoo, conditioner, and bond builder to help revive their locks from all the stress school has caused them. 😩

    Amazon

    BTW, this little set is actually a steal, as full-size bottles of each price at $24+And they'll get to try out a few bestsellers along the way. 

    Promising review: "Was willing to try out these products that I had heard so much about. This trio gave me a good way to do so. I’m nearly 50 and the texture of my hair has changed. With this shampoo/conditioner/mask combo, I’ve noticed a definite difference in the frizz control of my hair. It’s also helped maintain the glaze that my hairstylist applied at my last visit. All in all, I feel it’s been a worthwhile purchase!" —rward

    Get it from Amazon for $55 (valued at $75).

    10. A pair of constellation tassel earrings that'll be the *star* of their outfit.

    Amazon

    Promising review: "These are absolutely beautiful and clever with the post being falling stars. The stud sits comfortably and is lovely. Not gaudy or tacky in the least. I’m thrilled with them — and the price? If you are charmed by the picture you won’t be disappointed! They’re beautiful!" —Amyss

    Get them from Amazon for $8.66 (available in two colors).

    11. A colorful keyboard so they can upgrade their study desk to a WFH space because they're going to be ~working~. Aww they grow up so fast, don't they!? The keyboard comes in such beautiful colors and they can type away with keys that have oh-so-satisfying clicking sounds!

    Do you know they hate typing on a laptop? No worries, because this keyboard comes with a mouse and a USB receiver (compatible with Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, and Mac) that'll make their next typing session a breeze.

    Promising reviews: "So cute! Not gonna lie, this got me through my winter finals in college; the tapping noises from the keys are so soothing. Works very well, and color scheme is amazing! Planning on buying the yellow one as well. 👀" —Samantha

    "I love this keyboard! It's only been a couple of weeks, but it makes me excited to write again. I ordered blue, it's lovely and easy to use, haven't had any problems with the keys being round like I thought I would. The mouse is fine, the connection hasn't had any problems yet. I feel like the price is reasonable, it's not super fancy with lighting, but it has a nice aesthetic and fluffy sounding clicky clackies." —Eric

    Get it from Amazon for $31.59 (available in 10 colors).

    12. A set of splurge-worthy Bose noise-cancelling headphones that they can wear while traveling because as cute as babies are, their crying sure isn't — especially when they're on a red eye or woke up at an ungodly hour. 

    The white headphones folded into their case
    A reviewer wearing the black headphones

    If they wanna catch some shuteye, they can use quiet mode to completely block out any surrounding noise. The headphones also come with aware mode so they can hear everything going on around them *and* their fave tunes. The third mode — immersion mode — gives them spatial audio so they can feel like they're at the Guts World Tour.

    Promising review: "These headphones are a gamechanger. As an avid music enthusiast, frequent traveler, and lover of movies in a loud and busy household, these headphones have improved my audio experiences in ways I never knew were possible. First and foremost, the noise cancellation is unparalleled. The moment you put these on, the outside world fades away. However, they still offer the ability to be aware of your surroundings when needed without stopping your audio. If you are traveling you don't need to worry about the headphones going out on you, because the battery life is incredible. As with all Bose products, the craftsmanship and quality is top-notch. I have been hesitant to purchase Bose headphones in the past because I just didn't think that I would be able to tell enough of a difference. I was wrong. I am beyond excited to have these headphones, and it has added so much to my entertainment enjoyment." —P.O.

    Get them from Amazon for $429 (available in three colors).

    13. Silk pajamas because they'll finally be able to get a good night of sleep without having to dream about their next exam! They should be able to feel as bougie and comfy as possible while actually getting a full eight hours of shuteye. 

    a reviewer wearing the pink and green leaves short-sleeve set.
    another reviewer wears the silk pajamas in red

    Promising review: "These pajamas are IT. They are cozy. They are silky. They have a waistband that doesn't cut off circulation, but feels like a gentle hug. They aren't restrictive. You can sleep with one leg up and one leg down. You'll have no issues sleeping like a seastar in the middle of your bed. You can curl up like the world is ending, no problem. And honestly, I've also worn these pajamas all day at times...They make me feel like my life is put together. Like I am a functioning human in society who can order as many lattes as she wants. I feel like maybe someday my initials could be monogrammed into my pillows and I could own more cars than there are humans in my household." —Toria

    Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and so many colors and patterns).

    14. A Fenty Beauty Triple Dip Gloss Bomb set that'll have their lips shimmering and shining 🎶 bright like a diamond 🎶. Who could say no to these beautiful best-sellers that Queen Riri herself owns!? I'll answer for you: NO ONE. 

    the gloss set with pink and brown lip gloss shades
    Fenty Beauty

    It includes the OG gloss, Gloss Bomb Cream, and Gloss Bomb Heat (which is a lip plumper + luminizer)! You'll be able to choose out a shade for each of 'em! 

    Here's what BuzzFeed editor Amanda Davis has to say about the set: "I can attest to how amazing these lip glosses are! The Gloss Bomb in shades "Hot Chocolit" and "Cheeky" have been a purse essential for me probably since the day it launched. The nonsticky factor is huge for me, but I also absolutely love how versatile it is. It's perfect on top of lip liner and great by itself, too. And the ✨shine✨ is impeccable. People can probably spot me a mile away after I apply it, which I count that as a very good quality in lip gloss."

    Promising review: "I love creating these gloss trios, I've created three sets and these discounted sets have allowed me to stock up on AMAZING glosses! I now have a nice selection of colors and different formulations. I'm very happy with my purchases!" —FlyGurl

    Get it from Fenty Beauty for $50 (valued at $69). 

    15. A splurge-worthy 12-piece Caraway cookware set because they've been spoiled (or cursed) with campus food and they have to start cooking for themselves now *cries in adulthood*. The pots and pans are non-stick, have a non-toxic coating, work on any type of stove top, and last, but *certainly* not least, are oven safe up to 550 degrees Fahrenheit — they couldn't ask for more!

    The set has a 10.5-inch fry pan, a 3-quart sauce pan and lid, a 4.5-quart sauté pan and a lid, a 6.5-quart Dutch oven and a lid, and storage for the pans and lids. 

    Promising review: "I absolutely love my Caraway cookware! They are so easy to clean and the magnetic organizers are great for easy storage in kitchen cabinets. I love the hanging lid holder as it saves space and is super convenient (and renter friendly with the adhesive hooks). The only thing I would mention is that they are not super lightweight. Otherwise, they are superb quality, nontoxic, nonstick, and beautiful!" —Rachel

    Get it from Amazon for $395+ (available in seven colors).

    16. A crayon vase that they'll be absolutely gushing over. It'll perk up their new apartment and they'll be able to store their grad bouquets in here — creative and practical, yes!

    Get it from Amazon for $26.95

    17. Bluetooth-enabled record player because they can now listen to their fave songs without having to worry about the RA banging on their door and telling them to keep it down. It gives a lil' vintage vibe but also modern because they'll be able to connect the speaker to their phone!

    Promising review: "This thing is great! The output is great. Very loud and clear with no distortion. I put the first record on it this morning and the audio quality and overall functionality is awesome. It also makes a great Bluetooth speaker as well. The briefcase design makes it great for moving room to room or traveling places with it. I highly recommend this turntable to both the beginner who's looking to get into vinyl and even the hardcore collector who is just looking for something more portable with some good sound!" —D. Morris

    Get it from Amazon for $46.56+ (available in 29 colors).

    Reviewer before and after picture with redness healed from their face
    The bottle of serum

    BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord swears by this. She writes: "I use this on my skin and definitely have noticed results! While it didn't help completely kick my stubborn pre-period hormonal acne, it has done *wonders* with reducing redness on my face, particularly around my nose, and in dealing with my pores. Since I started using it, my primer and foundation goes on a whole lot smoother, and I'm struggling a whole lot less to cover my pores. After using it a few weeks, I read the advice of one reviewer to put this on when your face is slightly moist from washing, rub it in, let it dry, and then put your moisturizer on top of it — I've found that it's what got me the best results!" 

    Promising review: "Recommended from a dermatologist, which is very important when choosing skincare. I use it in the morning after toner then follow up with a light moisturizer, vitamin C, then SPF, and my skin is glowing. I’ve received many compliments after incorporating this into my routine." —E. Rice

    Get it from Amazon for $13.

    Promising review: "I purchased this box for a weekend getaway. In the past I have just thrown all of my jewelry into little makeup bags, but then everything gets tangled and disorganized. I love that this box keeps everything organized and leaves all my necklaces tangle-free!" —Dogmom206

    Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in 11 colors).

    20. A 16-piece Brink House mix-and-match cutlery set that totally gives retro diner vibes. They'll finally be able to dine properly without plastic utensils!

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (matching sets available at lesser cost).

    JW Pei is an Asian- and family-owned brand with minimalist designs that are made with sustainable vegan materials.

    Promising review: "Love it so much had to get it in three colors! I got black croc, brown croc, and the beige croc. They’re all so pretty and I use them as my everyday purse. The thing I like most about these are the size. I bought a similar style purse and it was way too small and I had to return it. But this holds my wallet, phone, lipglosses, and everything else I need to carry. Super good quality too and I love the thick strap; it’s more comfortable and doesn’t fall off your shoulder. Overall, I think they’re worth the price tag." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from JW Pei on Amazon for $78.99+ (available in nine colors).

    22. A set of Mr. Pen pastel highlighters and black pens so they can color code their to-do lists, calendars, and more now that their days won't just be filled with classes and partying.

    You can also get transparent sticky notes by the same company as a fab addition to this gift. 

    Promising review: "I really enjoy these pens; they write very smoothly and look so cute on my desk at work. An added bonus is the square design, which keeps them from rolling off my work station. The pens have a nice weight to them that makes them feel more expensive than they are. I like that the highlighter colors are different from what you typically see. The only con to this set is that I find the green highlighter to be too dark to use as an actual highlighter" —Lauren B

    Get them from Amazon for $11.99.

    23. A holographic nail polish because their nails deserve to shimmer, glow, and shine as bright as them.

    Amazon

    Promising review: "I painted over my existing pearl color just to try it. Went on full coverage in one coat, and dries SUPER FAST! I think I'm converted. OPI drives me nuts because it takes so long to air dry. I usually have to blow on it or put in front of a fan to speed up. ILNP dried in a couple of minutes. Of course no regular nail polish is completely cured right away, but I can pick stuff up after a couple of minutes without worrying about smudging." —Melissa Bucholz

    Get it from Amazon for $10 (available in dozens of colors).

I have barely taken them off since receiving them. They are so fluffy and stay on my feet surprisingly well when walking around the house. Can’t wait until more colors are in stock to get another pair." —MSumm

    Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in women's sizes 5–10 and 15 colors).

    Promising review: "I was amazed with this outfit. I bought it very last minute for a 6-day family cruise trip…and oh boy do I wish I would have bought more in different colors. The fit was just as I imagined it. The material, the fit, comfort. Easy to dress up or dress down. 20/10 would recommend and will definitely be buying more." —Ralf and Jacky Artigas

    Get it from Amazon for $49.98 (available in women's sizes XS–4XL and 37 colors).

    Promising review: "Bought these so I wouldn't have to sift through my tote bag anymore. These make things easier, efficient and I don't have to deal with the anxiety over whether or not I've misplaced or lost anything. I don't use them for cosmetics, but still helpful nonetheless." —Kristen

    Get a set of two from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in 24 styles). 

    27. A "Worky" station so they can turn their couch into a "professional" work station. It has everything that an office has and even more, like LED lighting! Tell me, what screams "welcome to the corporate world!" more than this?

    Promising review: "I've had my Worky for three months now and have loved it. I love that everything is in one place and then I can close it up and work disappears. The compartments are great for tucking away piles of paperwork, the different charging outlets are convenient and the LED lights are helpful on Zoom calls when lighting in the room are not ideal. Everything in one place, simple and convenient. Just the way I like it." —Amy

    Get it from Amazon for $123.74.

    28. A sakura tree Lego set because even though they're done with school, they're still a kid at heart. Plus, it's perfect for the wannabe plant parent who can't seem to keep one alive. With over 800 intricate pieces, they'll definitely have a blast putting this together!

    Promising review: "I finally got around to building this and really enjoyed it! The instructions are for either pink or green but I liked both so I did my own thing and am really pleased with how it turned out. This set really allows for creativity with the green/pink/white part. It was pretty easy to build, just a couple of steps were a little confusing but it wasn’t too challenging. I built it in just over an hour. It’s a really lovely Lego set, would make a great gift." —echobunny

    Promising review: "So I’ll admit I got this on a whim after a TikTok video, however I’m in love with this thing! It’s so much fun to use and you make your at-home drinks feel so much more special. It’s easy to use and froths pretty quickly. If you’re on the fence, I’d say what are you waiting for? Buy it already!" —Denise

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in 44 styles).

    31. An Amazon Echo so they can blast music throughout the house without having to move an inch. It's true what they say, robots can do almost ANYTHING. All they need to say is "Alexa, play 'The Lazy Song' by Bruno Mars" and just sit back and relax. If they're in their "lazy girl era," this is *PERFECT*.

    Promising review: "I love the Echo, it is super convenient. If you like to listen to music this is a great way to control your music streaming. I subscribed to the Music Unlimited with Amazon and it’s super cool that I can listen to any song I want just by asking. Other cool features are the lights control and the guard mode, both are very helpful. I bought some Wi-Fi connected bulbs and it’s quite nice to be able to turn light off and on without moving lol.

    Promising review: "I have very, very deep blackheads to the point where you would think they are tiny freckles. I've tried all cleansers and then went with the blackhead suction tool and nothing helped. I used this thing ONE TIME and I can not believe the wonders that it has worked. Most of the blackheads were gone after 10 minutes of use. I also have very sensitive skin, but it didn't hurt or damage the skin whatsoever! I watched a YouTube review as I was doing it to make sure I was doing it correctly. Just buy it. I swear on this amazing creation!" —Kassi Miller
