Everyone loves customized gifts! This is a thoughtful and practical gift for a grad who’s getting ready to be on the move. On Etsy you can customize everything from color to font, or if you’re looking for something a little more fancy, VALLEY loves these ones from Stoney Clover (for a little more money).

  • City Scape rock glasses

This can be a reminder of the college town, home town or where your college graduate is moving! These can be found either in souveneir shops downtown or online at this link.

  • Skincare mini fridge

This one’s pretty self-explanatory, who wouldn’t want something to step up their skincare routine?! Post-grad life can be stressful, so wellness and self-care gadgets are a perfect gift for any new alum. VALLEY loves this one from Amazon, but they can be found just about anywhere online.

  • Home Sick Scented Candle

Find a celebratory scent for your new grad. You can customize it too (and still stay under budget) and get a special note written on the box too so that whoever receives this candle knows that they have your support during this exciting new chapter!

Up the ante a little bit, here are the best gifts between $70-$125
  • Deluxe Packing Cubes 

These customizable packing cubes are perfect for anyone who is moving on up in the world! Whether they’ll be used for a post grad vacay or future work trips, this gift is sure to be loved and used.

  3. Yves Saint Laurent Libre Eau De Parfum with Orange Blossom & Lavender
  • Hello Fresh Subscription

This is a unique gift that just keeps on giving! Your 20s are the time to work on those cheffing skills, so help your graduate with this delicious gift. Gift subscriptions range from $75.00, $90.00, $125.00 and $160.00.
