Memorial Day officially marks the day I graduated from high school 11 years ago (eek!). Whether you're graduating from high school or college, let me say CONGRATS!
Consider this the grand finale, or everything else that would make a genius graduation gift (in my opinion). Pick anything from my list below and you're sure to be the favorite at the party.
Whether it's a sophisticated handbag to look chic in the workplace, a comfy pair of sandals to make the trek across campus, or something in between, let's congratulate all the graduates of 2016!!
One of the most common graduation gifts is a piece of jewelry. Let's be serious, I don't think any girl would complain about receiving new jewels. This one applies to guys, too. With a handsome watch, who wouldn't want to step into the college world (also applicable to those stepping out of college and into the workforce).
(For her: don't forget a luggage tag that looks like her! I tie mine on the outside of gifts as the actual name tag. Double usage because she can then use it as she travels to school or in her post-college travels)

Ahhhh the dreaded graduation gift season. I always struggle with great gift ideas for the grad. You want to give something useful and practical, but something that's not too boring.
It was pretty much the gift of Christmas 2015, and I think they're still on the top of everyone's list.
They come in so many great colors and patterns, you can't go wrong. I bought two for myself, one medium size (17 oz) and one larger size (25 oz).
(Fun fact: the 25 oz bottle holds an entire bottle of wine)
If the price tag scares you away, S'well has created an exclusive collection for Target that is a bit more budget friendly (and also available in plenty of color choices).
Don't forget to tie a graduation Winks on the outside for an extra personal touch!
