Graduation Gifts For Young People About To Fly The Nest
Stepping out into the post-uni world can be an exciting but nerve-wracking moment. After all that hard work, your bright young things deserve a treat and these gifts are designed to soothe and bring pleasure into their lives when they’re probably grappling with some pretty big decisions.
01 - Plants Are Magic Print: Whether they’re moving back in with you, finding a place with a partner or staying exactly where they are, a lively print is a great way to brighten up their home. We love this botanical print by Nottingham-based artist Katrina Sophia.
02 - Parrot Earrings: These earrings by Annie Sherburne are just so darn cheerful, we had to include them. Annie uses vintage stones from costume jewellery and fashions them into entirely new - and entirely unique - creations.
03 - Aromatherapy Candles: Student flats aren’t always renowned for their breathtakingly beautiful fragrance. These candles are though! Give their nose a treat!
04 - Dead Sea Bath Salts: I don’t think I took many baths during my student days (because I didn’t have one, not because I just didn’t wash!) and the same may be true for the graduate in your life. Welcome them back to civilisation with these naturally scented Dead Sea bath salts.
05 - Light String: These cotton ball light strings are such a celebratory way to bring the soft glow of light and colour to a room.
06 - Porcelain Necklace: Blending elegant style with a pop of colour, this handmade teal-dipped necklace comes beautifully packaged in a reusable glass bottle.
07 - Solid Sugar Scrub Bar: Young people are leading the charge towards a more environmentally conscious world and this Sugar Scrub Bar ticks so many of the right boxes. It’s vegan, contains no palm oil or sulphates and because it’s solid, it doesn’t need plastic packaging.
08 - World Map Mug: Who doesn’t love a comforting cup of tea? With this mug, they can warm their cockles and plan their next adventure at the same time.
09 - Gold Shot Glasses: Not that we want to encourage rowdy behaviour, but it’s possible that they may have already had one or two alcoholic beverages during their student days. Now they can do it in style with these gold-based shot glasses.
10 - Recycled Leather Notebook: A good notebook is such a lovely thing to recieve. Its crisp, empty pages are so full of possibility! This one is good for the planet too, not only because it’s recycled but also because every notebook sold helps to support children’s education projects worldwide.
