Graduation season is around the corner, and VALLEY’s got you covered with all of the ways you can spoil your loved ones, family and friends. Here’s a round-up of the best, beautiful and most memorable graduation gifts.
The best gifts don’t need to break the bank. These are the best gifts under $50
- Custom Tote or Make-up Bag

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.
- Nice Perfume

Nothing says, “mature college graduate who is ready to take on the world by storm”, like a classy new scent. These are some of our favorites:
- La vie Est Belle by Lancome
- Hero by Burbury
- 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.
- Wallet

Graduating and moving one step closer to employment calls for a fabulous new way to carry around all that income! A new wallet is a symbol of the exciting road ahead and hopeful prosperity! The brand Coach is a great place to start looking for one that suits the style of the graduate you have in mind.
That degree was hard work, here are the most high-end gifts VALLEY could think of.
- Beis suitcase set
A sleek, durable suitcase set is the perfect gift for a new graduate embarking on life’s next adventure, whether that’s travel, a new job, or a big move. It’s both practical and stylish, symbolizing readiness to explore the world with confidence.

- Nice Coat
This isn’t something many people think to buy for themselves, making it the perfect addition to any new grad’s wardrobe.
- Fancy watch

A classic timepiece marks the transition into adulthood with elegance and purpose. It’s a meaningful reminder to value time, stay punctual, and celebrate achievements. Great brands to look at include Citizen, Bulova, Tudor and many more.
- Women’s jewelry
This is a classic gift that everyone loves.It’s a lasting keepsake that can remind the graduate of how far she’s come and all the bright things ahead.
