It’s almost summer, which means that graduation season is officially upon us. If you’re looking for an above-average way to congratulate that special graduate in your life, these creative gifts are sure to get you on the honor roll!
From a piñata that celebrates their unicorn-level uniqueness to quirky home decor, many of these graduation gifts offer an imaginative way to celebrate the big day. Others—including a handy tool and a how-to book about “adulting”—prepare them for life on their own. And, of course, many inspire them to spread their wings and explore, like the wise owl scarf and an Earth puzzle.
No matter what you’re looking for, this list makes coming up with creative graduation gift ideas as easy as a, b, c.
