Graduation gifts that help start a new chapter
1 min read
Graduating means a new job, a new city or a well-earned break - often all at once. The best gifts help with that start. Many are too big for one person, but easy for family and friends together.
For the first job
- a laptop that can handle real work
- a good office backpack or leather bag
- a smartwatch
- a suit or a few quality work outfits
- a desk setup for working from home
For moving out
- the deposit for a first flat
- a sofa, bed or desk
- a bike for commuting
- kitchen basics: pans, knives, a coffee machine
For the break in between
- an interrail pass
- a flight to a dream destination
- a surf or yoga camp
- festival tickets with friends
For what comes next
- a language course before moving abroad
- a professional course or certification
- a driving licence
Make it one gift from everyone
Parents, grandparents, aunts and friends usually all want to give something. A single wishlist with a clear goal - “my first laptop for work, €1,200” - lets everyone join in with the amount that suits them and shows the graduate how many people are behind them.
