Graduation season is here and we love being able to suggest unique gift ideas for the grads in your life. Whether you are looking for a perfect send off present for a neighbor’s child you have watched grow up since she came home from the hospital, or your own son or daughter, we have a list of uncommon gifts from one of our favorite sites, UncommonGoods.
We receive compensation from purchases made through links in this post.
1. Wishbeads Bracelet
What parent doesn’t have a secret wish for their college-bound daughter? This gorgeous bracelet, which can be ordered in one of 5 stones – lapis lazuli, rose quartz, grass agate, coral jade, chakra gemstone – has room in the clasp for a personal message, one that she will hold dear while she is far from home.
2. Fix it Kit
This portable collection of handy tools will keep your life in good repair. The compact set includes all the basics for dorm and first apartment living: Hammer, LED Flashlight, Pliers, Tape Measure, Screwdriver with 10 assorted screwdriver bits. Comes in pink or black.
3. Bedside Essentials Pocket
One major design flaw with the weirdly elevated XL twin beds found in most freshman dorms is the lack of a nightstand to store glasses, phone, earphones, etc. This flap of this felt pouch slips underneath the mattress and will keep your teen’s essentials handy. Comes in two sizes.
4. Long Distance Friendship Lamp
Light up loved ones’ lives—across town or across the world—with these in-sync lamps. Buy a pair and, when you ouch your lamp, their lamp lights up in the same glow, sending a little “thinking of you” to a far away loved one.
5. Scratch Off World Map
Dorm walls need all the help they can get and covering unsightly cinder blocks with a map is a popular solution. Made of recycled paper, these “scratch maps” can be attached to walls with putty or command strips, like any other poster, and have the added benefit of revealing a pop of color for each country or state your teen has visited. Made in the UK.
6. Here’s the Scratch Off USA Map
7. Travel Cord Roll
Dorm room organization is a challenge for even the most organized student. With a travel cord roll, your teen can easily pack their electronics cords to throw in a backpack or for weekend trips home.
8. Microwave Pasta Cooker
Eating in the dining hall begins to lose its appeal a few months into the fall semester. Being able to take a break and cook something in their own dorm room in the microwave will be gift to your freshman. Just add noodles and water and nuke. The flexible lid’s a strainer, too, so you can drain, toss with sauce, and eat straight from the pot.
9.Custom Pet Pillows
Face the facts – it is not always parents and siblings that our kids miss the most when they leave for school. Submit a favorite photo of your pet and Uncommon Good artists will use it to create a one-of-a-kind keepsake pillow that will keep them company and reminds them of what they love about home.
10.Embroidered College Pillows
These collegiate pillows are embroidered with all the highlights that make each college unique. This extra stylish and personal throw pillow is a keepsake gift that your freshman will enjoy for years to come.
11.Personalized Socks
What is it about a pair of socks that makes it so easy to misplace one? Sock Island is alive and well and living in dorm laundry rooms. With these Pima socks, there will be no mistake as to whom they belong to. Personalize them with an initial, a phrase a name. In grey or black.
12.Women’s Personalized Socks
Same personalized offer as about, these are supima cotton, and come in white, grey, black or pink.
13.Boom Bowl
Placing a phone in this ceramic bowl will amplify the sound from your phone by 15 decibels. It is totally portable, requires NO batteries required or plugs. Available in matte black, it also comes in a chalkboard finish, which makes for even more personalizing.
14. Fitness Bottle with Phone Holding Sleeve
Going to the gym should be carefree, but juggling a water bottle and a phone while moving from the treadmill to free weights is anything but easy. This clever fitness bottle and sleeve makes it easy to keep track of both water and phone.
15. The Path Necklace
Featuring a powerful quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson, this piece provides a reminder to forge your own trail. Green tourmaline promotes creativity, and smoky quartz calms to clear the psyche. The silver bar represents your path.
