If you know someone who is graduating from college or graduate school, or perhaps just got their first apartment or a great new job, one of these gifts might have his or her name all over it!

Instant Vintage Book Library

A pretty, interesting bookshelf can make a stark apartment feel so much, well, like home. This genius little company sells vintage book sets all ready for book “shelfies” (yes, that’s a thing!). What a unique gift! They are always adding new instant book libraries – see them all here.

This How to be a Gentleman Kit is the perfect thing for a guy to keep in his new desk drawer. Everything he needs in a pinch: extra buttons, lint brush, wrinkle release, breath drops and 12 other helpful things! For a girl, these mini emergency kits are so helpful!

Monogrammed Leather Bound National Park Book or World Travel Journal ($70)

 

 

Such a neat gift for the outdoorsman or the wannabe world traveler and personalization is free! These are gifts they will have their throughout their lifetime. Complimentary gift wrapping, too. Note: I Also like this Kate Spade passport holder.

Jack Mason Reversible Collegiate Belt

This is a handsome gift for a new grad starting out in the work force: one side shows his school pride; the other side is solid leather so it’s perfect for work or weekend! Many universities available – see them all here.

 

Helpful Books for Keeping a Home!

 

This sounds so old-fashioned but I think they should bring back some sort of “home ec” in schools – for both boy and girls. Kids graduating from college and have no idea how to sew a button on or even clean properly. I found this Martha Stewart Homekeeping Handbook so helpful when I was a new grad and wife (yes, happened within weeks of each other!). It might be nice to pair this with some cute cleaning rubber gloves or a gift card from The Container Store!

Or if you want to spend a bit more, buy a real vacuum cleaner. I read a funny article recently about how millennials don’t buy real vacuum cleaners (and they should!) Help them out with a well-reviewed Kenmore.

And I have written about this cute but super helpful book for young women called Madame Chic. And I haven’t read it, but The Magic of Tidying Up is so popular right now. I’m sure it has some good habits to learn right when starting out!
