For the last couple of years, graduations have been plagued with uncertainty. The celebrations for this academic achievement have felt a little underwhelming because there haven’t been many in-person events. However, one approach to continuing tradition is to give the graduate one of the best graduation gifts—something that specifically recognizes their accomplishments and the course they’re doing.
Sure, the perfect graduation gift is custom to the person you’re giving it to, but there are some unique presents that will never go out of fashion which makes them ideal to make the occasion even more special.
Flowers Are Always In
Sure, polo shirts, ties and wallets are practical things to get for a graduate, but do they need them? Instead, opt for things that can make people happy and add sentimentality to the occasion. So, if you’re a floral person who enjoys brightening up the mood of yourself and your loved ones with all kinds of delightful blooms, beautifully arranged graduation flowers will make the occasion even more special and take your gifting game to the next level.
Flowers are Nature’s messengers, and the messages vary depending on the blooms and the colours they come in. Whether it’s happiness, love, appreciation, romance, respect, or sympathy, there’s the right flower to express all these. In this regard, Chrysanthemums, Roses, Hydrangeas, Snapdragons, Peppercorn, and Celosia are the most common graduation flowers. However, there is nothing wrong if you want to go for a bouquet of red or white roses. Tulips are also great!
But, if you don’t know what the receiver loves, you can always go with the latest in-season blooms or have the florist pick something adorable for you. For those who love the freedom to style, floral shops nowadays allow you to design an arrangement according to the occasion and colour. This means you can put your favourite flowers for graduation in an adorable flower bag or basket, wrap it in foliage or put it in a stylish vase that matches their home décor.
To show extra love and attention pair your graduation bouquet with additional goods. If your graduate has a sweet appetite, indulge them with some creamy chocolates. A pair of unique socks, on the other hand, will keep them warm and fashionable. And, if they enjoy a little alcohol, grab a variety of cocktails for your next night.
Wall Arts Make Statement Gifts
Speaking of hard-to-beat luxury gifts, wall art is your safest bet. It’s the perfect way to surprise someone and tell you care. However, gifting art is very personal and to choose right you must know the receiver’s preferences and tastes. You can also consider their interior design.
Therefore, for someone who loves the outdoors and nature, choosing a landscape art piece will bring warmth to their hearts and home. On the other hand, if the receiver is incurable modern enthusiast opt for abstract wall art to elevate their space and provide it with an extremely modern interior edge.
Alternatively, when gifting wall art pieces consider the person’s space. Sure, extra-large paints are impressive and generous, but will they fit their walls? So, before splurging on a 2-metre-long art, think about the proper fit.
The style and colour scheme are yet another important consideration. Since, the colour palette and style of your gift should suit the receiver’s interior design, don’t be afraid to ask questions about it. Getting a feel of the vibe, on the other hand, will ensure that your present aesthetically serves the purpose in their homes.
However, when art is not enough and you start looking for ways to elevate it, get a frame that will complement their home’s aesthetics. To add some extra, consider personalising it!
Hampers Are Always a Good Idea
Since wines and chocolates are a match made in heaven, step up your graduation gifting game with a rose wine and chocolate hamper. It’s the perfect treat for someone who enjoys combining both. To show an effort, you can get a bottle of fruity rose wine combining the aroma of raspberry and musk. Its pale pink, ultra-fine long acidity and dryness make it irresistible for any lover of wine. It’s a wonderfully special find, especially when combined with their favourite chocolate bar.
Moreover, who doesn’t love a glass of sparkling bubbles, eating chocolate and wrapping themselves in a comfortable bathrobe? The rose wine and chocolate hamper combined with an ultra-soft bathrobe made of premium fabrics now makes it all possible.
On the other hand, if your graduate is a woman who loves sparkling rose and treats but is a regular customer at the local spa centre as well, give her a deserved me time to unwind and relax with a hamper that combines the three.
Doing so, you’ll be able to find a luxurious pampering pack that includes a bottle of a special selection wine, a premium selection of chocolate, a beautifully fragrant candle, a body bar and a bathrobe. However, you can always create your hamper by combining items that the person you’re gifting loves.
Preserve Memories with Personalised Stationery
Personalised stationery pieces are some of the most common yet unique presents a graduate can get! For someone who has spent a lot of their degree writing essays or noting down equations, a pen that’s engraved with their initials or the date of their graduation could symbolize all the effort they’ve put into their studies.
If the graduate is also pursuing a writing-related career, this would be the best fit by far. A unique pen would be genuinely practical as a graduation gift for prospective writers or lawyers in their professional life after college.
A personalized calendar or diary, on the other hand, would be lovely and quite useful for a new graduate. It would assist students in planning their time whether they intend to begin working, pursue a postgraduate degree, or even travel after graduating from college.
