Graduation season is almost here and we love being able to suggest unique gift ideas for the grads in your life.

Unique grad gift ideas for 2021 grads
1. Collegiate Pouches
Zipper pouches are a great way for your college student to store make-up, charging cables, earphones, or other valuables inside a backpack or a dresser drawer.
2. Wishbeads Necklace
These gorgeous pendant necklaces are available in rose quartz, lapis lazuli, coral jade, and grass agate. The pendant has a cylinder with room for a message of love and encouragement.
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, headphones, etc. The flap of this felt pouch slips underneath the mattress and will keep your teen’s essentials close at hand. Available 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 touch your lamp, their lamp lights up in the same glow, sending a little “thinking of you” to a far away loved one.
5. Tabletop Cornhole Game
Playing cornhole has never been easier than with this compact set to use on a table. Comes with board, launchers, mini beanbags, score board and pegs. (Beer for 21+, not included.)
6. PhoneSoap Smartphone Sanitizer
We are all tethered to our phones but try not to think of the germs that we encounter with every touch. This ingenious phone soap case sanitizes and charges at the same time. Learn more about how dirty our phones are.
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 and untangle their electronics cords to keep in a desk or throw in a backpack for weekend trips home.
8. Collegiate Pillow
We think these pillows are true keepsake items. The design team at catstudio has discovered and highlighted all the treasured spots at your son or daughter’s college with their unique embroidery style.
9. The Path Necklace
This beautiful necklace is designed with a combination of stones that are meaningful. According to the artist, green tourmaline promotes creativity, smoky quartz is calming and the silver bar is symbolic of your grad’s path. With a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson, this necklace will thrill and inspire any freshman.
10. Custom Pet Pillows
Face the facts – it is not always parents and siblings that our teens miss the most when they leave for school. Submit a favorite photo of your beloved pet and Uncommon Good artists will use it to create a one-of-a-kind keepsake pillow. This will keep them company away at school and remind them of what they love about home.
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 cotton socks, there will be no mistake as to whom they belong. Personalize them with an initial, a phrase, or a name. In grey or black.
12. Women’s Personalized Socks
Same personalized offer as above, these are Supima cotton, and come in white, grey, black or pink.
13. Long Distance Friendship Frame
Touch this unique frame and a different color lights up showing your teen that you are thinking of them while they are away.
14. Microwave Popcorn Popper
Having a snack of freshly-popped popcorn will be super-easy with this innovative silicone popper. No oil needed, wipes clean and is collapsible for easy storage.
