This card case from Kate Spade is perfect for toting around new business cards and networking. It also comes in silver and gold.
Tell your grad you got them their very own intern with the Amazon Echo
Prepare your grad to enter the workplace in style with the perfect laptop bag which I have a review about here, or the “magic” bag as I refer to my Longchamp because it seriously holds everything and comes in tons of colors.
When I graduated college I bought a pair of Tory Burch wedges for my job and each and every time I wore them it was a great confidence booster. If you really want to spoil your grad, go for these timeless and uber sophisticated Mary Jane’s in either black or nude. Just don’t droll on them!
Isn’t typing easier with a nice manicure? I certainly think so. I love this set from Deborah Lippmann because each color is work appropriate and can take you through every season.
This Kate Spade necklace has an initial on the front and says “one in a million” on the back, which is such a sweet grad gift. My best friend actually gave me this necklace when I finished my Ph.D!
If your grad mastered the fine art of list-making and planning in college, then this Swarovski pen (other colors available) and to-do list notebook
Finally, here are some great, professional reads for your recent grad including Yes Please by Amy Poehler, Lean In

Ouh!!!! How pretty is that little card case! I would love it but don’t think I give out enough to get a holder at this point.

Did you hear that Kate Spade was bought by Coach? I read that today. A bit of a random thought as I looked through some of your great choices here.

Yes!! It was surprising to me, but it sounds like the two brands will still operate separately and keep their own unique identities, which is good news because I’m a big fan of both!

My go-to gift right now is the Alexa Dot because I think that it is so useful! I definitely think that is one of the best gifts on this list! I will have to save the rest of these ideas for graduates that I know coming up!

These are great ideas! I’m always stumped when trying to pick out gifts. I have a couple graduations this summer I’ll be buying some of these ideas.

Super cute grad gift ideas! I especially love the Kate Spade card case; I never invested in a card case, and now I just have a bunch of business cards stuck in my wallet!
