A personalized wallet is an awesome gift for her. First of all, it’s completely customizable, which means that you can chose the color, font, and font color of the wallet. 

You can decide what to write on the wallet, it can be her name, her initials, or a sweet word to decorate the wallet. 

Now my ACTUAL favorite thing about this personalized wallet, is that this is a unique, and super practical gift at the same time!

Custom City Map

I love this custom city map! This is a nice personal gift to give a college grad.

You can either get her a custom city map of her college town, maybe of her hometown if she’s moving out to a different state, or just get her a map print of her favorite city in the world!

This is a cute memorable gift, that she can use as a decor piece as well!

Travel Scratch Off World Map

I feel like these scratch off world maps were a huge trend a few years ago, but now, without being totally viral, they still make the perfect gift for travelers!

They say that jewelry is a woman’s best friend, so why not get your bestie a beautiful custom birth flower necklace?

This specific necklace is completely customizable, and is also  made out of high quality material.

All you need to do, is to choose which color (and material) you want – they have 14K gold, sterling silver, and rose gold.

You can never go wrong with an Amazon Echo Dot, and I’ll tell you why – because not matter if you want it or not, it can help you do anything you want, and also makes an awesome Bluetooth speaker.

Rich Dad Poor Dad Book

After reading Rich Dad Poor Dad, I can’t shut up about it. Literally.

This is honestly the best book for understanding money, and I think this is a must-read book that any 20 years old should read before getting into “the real world”.

It teaches you everything there is to know about having a “rich dad” mindset about money, investing, and making money.

 

Gold Hour Hand Watch

This beautiful Golden Hour hand watch will make the perfect graduation gift for any man who likes hand watches in general! 

This is a waterproof hand watch, that is made out of stainless steel, and comes in many colors! It comes in black (as seen in the photo below), silver, gold, rose gold, and more!

Ember Temperature Control Mug

I love this Ember Temperature Control Mug! And I will tell you why. 

As someone who works from home on the computer most of the day, I always make myself a delicious coffee in the morning, and usually I never drink it at once, and eventually it gets cold, and I get sad because I want my hot coffee! 😉

WELLLL, since getting the Ember Temperature Control Mug, my life has been much happier Because this mug controls the temperature of the drink, and can keep your coffee warm and delicious! 

In my opinion, this is a must-have for anyone who works from home, or for people working long hours at the office!

Personalized Tumbler

You can never go wrong with a personalized tumbler as a gift! 

It’s the perfect gift, because it’s not only practical, but it’s also considered as a unique, personal gift that you can completely customize and make it one of a kind!

Grooming Cap Apron

This grooming cap apron is a LIFE CHANGER, especially if you live with the man you are getting this for.

But anyways, even if you don’t live together, it will change his life as well.

I used to hate every moment of my boyfriend giving himself hair cuts or shaving at home, because all of the hair will fall all over the bathroom sink, and cleaning it was such a headache!

And since getting him the grooming cap apron our lives changed forever, because instead of the hair falling everywhere, it all falls on the apron, and once he finishes shaving/the hair cut process, he just simply throws everything to the trash, and nothing gets messy!

Custom City Map

As I said earlier, custom city maps are the perfect personal, and meaningful gifts you can get someone that is finishing one chapter of his life in one city, and moving to another.

You can get him a custom city map of his college town, or a city map of his hometown if he’s moving out of the city, you can also get him a city map of the new city his moving to, etc.

Keurig Mini Coffee Maker

The Keurig Mini Coffee Maker happens to be my favorite coffee maker, and I’ll tell you why.

First of all, it’s small, and is perfect for any sized kitchen, whether you have a tiny kitchen or a huge one.

Second of all, it works amazing, makes delicious coffee, and is highly recommended!

The Beard Kit

Next is The Beard Kit! This is the perfect gift for a bearded guy that loves his beard as much as he loves his own mother 😉 

The Beard Kit comes with a beard wash/shampoo, 3 packs of beard growth oil, a beard balm leave-in conditioner, a beard comb, beard brush, and a pair of beard scissor! 

Everything you need to take care and grow your beard!

Personalized Graduation Plaque

Last but not least for today, is this graduation plaque! 

It’s completely customizable! First of all, you can customize the illustration figure, so it will match your college grad. 

You can also decide the size and plaque stand, and send personalization instructions to the Etsy seller to design it exactly as you wish!
