The ultimate graduation gift guide: 50 stylish ideas for the class of 2016
by Sarah CasselmanWhether you’re graduating from high school or university, it’s one of life’s defining moments—so throw on a cap and gown and snap a selfie to show your grandkids someday. But forget trying to look like a supermodel; no one looks like a supermodel in a cap and gown, though there’s something pretty damn cool about suiting up in academic robes. The all-nighters you pulled cramming before finals, the all nighters you pulled partying with friends—all of those years, days, hours, minutes and seconds spent at school have shaped the person you’ve become. Before you reach for a Kleenex and play Green Day’s “Time Of Your Life” (the unofficial grad song) on repeat, let’s kick the celebration into high gear. Bring on the prezzies!
Whether you’re a graduate or shopping for the one in your life, we’ve rounded up 50 stylish gift ideas that are sure to be a hit. From fine jewellery and high tech accessories for her to preppy ties and monogrammed accessories for him. There’s also a handful of cool home décor gifts (perfect for first apartments or the dorm) as well as chic finds under $50. Scroll through our grad gift guide before you hit the shops. Here’s to the class of 2016!
