They are about to step out in the “real world,” so send them off in style. If you’ve got some college graduates on your shopping list this May, we bet they need some prim and proper apparel and accessories to go with all of the pomp and circumstance.
Here are some thoughtful gift ideas for college graduates — our young man edition. (Check out our college graduation gift guide for young women here).
- Scratch Map from Uncommon Goods, $20. There’s a a reason why the Dr. Seuss book “Oh the places you’ll go” is such a popular graduation gift. We’re loving this original scratch map that nudges your freshly minted graduate to explore the world. The gift recipient can “scratch off” the places they visit to reveal pops of color and symbolize their travels. (You can also find a USA Scratch map here).
- Stainless steel beard and mustache comb, $35. You can’t pinch his cheeks anymore and don’t you dare spit bathe him. Instead, gift your fuzzy-faced graduate with this tool to keep his newly grown mustache or beard in line and looking well maintained.
- Non-iron dress shirts. Give him some time to master the iron. You can find non-iron dress shirts ready for his first day on the job at Brooks Brothers, where you’ll earn 5 percent Cash Back on your purchases from ShopAtHome.com. For $12 extra dollars you can add a monogram to the dress shirt.
- Cufflinks. They’re a rite of passage into the working world. You’ve got a big selection at Brooks Brothers — with everything from custom monogrammed cuff links and classic two-toned cufflinks to fun ones with barbells or a Great Gatsby-inspired set.
