Great gifts for the grad in your life
Oh, the places they’ll go! Graduation is a rite of passage and the perfect opportunity to set your favorite grad up with practical and celebratory gifts that mark this milestone. Looking for something that will make your gift a standout? Check out these ideas.
HuMn Wallet
God willing, your grad is on the road to employment, and the HuMn wallet gives your grad a sleek, hip place to put the newfound cash. The stylish HuMn can be configured in one, two or three powder-coated aluminum plates with a shock strap. The wallet comes in a variety of colors, allowing complete customization. Best of all, the aluminum plates protect the wallet’s owner from electronic theft by shielding credit cards from RFID skimming.

Box for a Bottle
If ever there was a time to break out the bubbly, college graduation is it! Give your favorite grad a bottle of his or her favorite beverage encased in a stylish Box for a Bottle. This customized wooden box comes in several graduation motifs and can be custom engraved with a personal message. The boxes are made in America, and for each box ordered, Box for a Bottle gives back to the Earth by planting a tree.

Bed of Nails
Now that school is done, the stress of the real world is coming. Arm your favorite grad with a Dr. Oz-endorsed Bed of Nails acupressure mat and/or pillow that will take the sting out of any day. Both the pillow and mat feature non-toxic plastic spikes designed to stimulate the body to release endorphins (feel good hormones) and oxytocin (pain blockers), similar to how needles work in acupuncture.
