Nine Personalized Graduation Gift Ideas

Graduation is an important milestone in a person's life. It’s the beginning of a new chapter in life and is often met with excitement, and a little uncertainty. Regardless, it's a time to celebrate all the hard work and dedication that went into earning a degree and, for many, marks the true transition into adulthood. Although spending quality time with your graduate will mean a lot, another way to make this occasion even more special is by giving a personalized graduation gift—a gift that is unique and meaningful, just like the graduate themselves. To help you find the best option for your graduate, consider the following personalized graduation gift ideas.

1. Graduation Tumbler

A graduation tumbler is a great gift idea for someone who loves to drink their favorite beverages on-the-go. This is perfect for new college graduates who will be heading off to their first full-time job and need plenty of coffee or tea for all-day energy. You can customize it with the graduate's name, graduation year, and their school's logo. This gift is not only practical but also serves as a reminder of their achievements.

2. Waterproof Blanket

Another option for a personalized graduation gift that will go a long way is a waterproof, soft blanket. Waterproof blankets are a versatile gift that can be used for picnics, outdoor concerts, camping trips, sporting events, and more. It's perfect for the graduate who loves spending time outdoors. Add their name, graduation year, or a motivational quote and see why a personalized blanket makes the best gift.

3. Indoor Luxe Blanket

If your recent graduate is more of an indoor person, consider a luxe blanket. An indoor TS luxe blanket is a cozy and comfortable gift that the graduate can use while reading, working, or just relaxing at home. There are several options for personalization through color choice, and Pretty Rugged’s SatinTex™ backing makes this blanket cozy, spill proof, and easy to care for.

4. Personalized University Map Print

A personalized university map print is a thoughtful gift for the graduate who is proud of their alma mater. You can choose the map of their university and customize it with their favorite bars, restaurants, cafes, or neighborhoods. Complete with a custom frame and their graduation year for the ultimate personalized present.

5. Game Day Outerwear

Game day outerwear is another perfect gift for the sports-loving graduate. Some options for these personalized gifts include comfortable clothes like a Pretty Puffer Vest in their favorite team’s colors, added layers like a Luxe Scarf for superior warmth, and any windproof or waterproof outerwear to tie the whole look together. You can personalize each piece with your graduate’s name, graduation year, or their team’s name. It's a terrific way for graduates to show their team spirit while staying warm and comfortable.

6. Puffer Bag or Oversized Tote

A puffer bag or oversized tote is a practical gift for the graduate who needs to carry their books, laptop, and other essentials. It can be used to travel on the weekends or go to the gym. You can choose your graduate’s favorite color or add some personalization to give them a truly one-of-a-kind gift.

7. 21+ Luxurious Wine Tote

A luxurious wine tote is another great gift idea for the wine-loving graduate (who's over 21!). You can choose their favorite color, or include other minute details that express your love. It's a fantastic way for them to carry their favorite bottle of wine to a graduation celebration or other special occasions, as long as they’re drinking responsibly!

8. Personalized Graduation Cards

No graduation gift would be complete without a personalized graduation card. Even if you’re going to gift your loved one something else, add a card to make it extra special. Custom graduation cards are a thoughtful way to congratulate the graduate on their achievement. You can customize the card with a special message about their future, give them some great post-graduate advice, or write about how much they mean to you. Whatever you choose to write, your words inside a graduation card are going to be cherished forever.

9. Engraved Laptop Case

Finally, an engraved laptop case completes our list of great personalized graduation gifts to consider. An engraved laptop case is a practical and stylish gift for the graduate who needs to protect their laptop during commute to and from work. You can personalize it in any way you see fit, but it might be best to stick to a name or short quote rather than their new company logo. This way, they’ll be able to use it indefinitely, regardless of who they’re working for.

Custom graduation gifts are a wonderful way to celebrate your graduate's achievement and show your love and support. With these ideas, you can find a unique and stylish gift that they’ll treasure for years to come. To get the most out of your personalization needs, Pretty Rugged is here to help.
