GRADUATION IS A big deal. It's not every day you get to don an oversized robe and funny hat and collect your hard-earned college degree. Which is to say it's serious for praise, preferably in the form of an excellent gift for him.

The grad in your life is about to further their studies or make a serious entrance into the real world. Either way, they'll be sharpening their career aspirations and trying to make the world a better place. That kind of chutzpah deserves something mindful, something that says you're tremendously proud and can't wait what the next chapter brings.

We've assembled an outstanding gift guide for graduates this spring. Young engineers, musicians, lawyers, social workers, civil servants, marine biologists, and doctors alike will appreciate these unique gifts. It's a well-curated list of tech gadgets, clothing, footwear, commemorative items, and more, destined to bring a smile to those on the verge of conquering college.

Cheers to the class of 2024!
