Whether it’s for a high school senior ready to take on college or a college grad ready to take on the world, the perfect graduation gift should be thoughtful, functional, and celebrate the new journey they are embarking on. With that in mind, here are our top 5 grad gifts for 2024.
1. Bedding
No matter how different we may be from one another, we all need sleep. This easily makes luxurious bedding our top gift. In addition to the lavish comfort that will aid your grad in getting a more satisfying sleep each night, a quality set of sheets will easily stand up to the wear and tear of a college dorm or a first apartment. Great bedding also helps improve their quality of life through its soothing fabrics, colors, and designs. By relieving stress, inspiring optimism, and even offering sanctuary away from the everyday, your thoughtful gift will be there for them time and time again. And when you invest in bedding that’s been masterfully crafted for almost six decades, like our Schweitzer Linen bedding, you know it’s a gift they are going to enjoy for a long time.
2. Quality Towels
You’ll never know how much you appreciate a well-made towel until you use one that isn’t. Things like poor absorption, cheap fabrics, poor construction, these are obstacles the busy grad doesn’t need—or have time for. Lesser quality towels won’t just break down faster, becoming less effective and leaving you more damp than dry, the inferior designs can lead to more bacteria, and unwanted irritants. That’s why giving a grad a plush, luxuriously made towel from a trusted brand is a perfect way to send them on their way. Beyond the bathroom, a great towel can also be used for beach days and pool parties, vacations and road trips, hosting guests and loved ones, the uses are many. Plus, our huge selection of designs makes it easy to give them a luxury towel in a color or style they’ll love just as much as the soft, comforting touch.
3. A Good Pillow
We never underestimate the value and impact a well-made pillow can have on someone. Maybe that’s why they’re always high on our list when it comes to the best graduation gifts. Whether your grad is a side, front, back, or other kind of sleeper, making sure they have a pillow that complements their needs can lead them to a more deeply restorative sleep. This in turn can result in increased energy, creativity, optimism, the list goes on. In other words, a great pillow can help put them in the best position to succeed every day. That’s what we call a grad gift. You can also treat them to fun patterns or chic designs by pairing one of our luxury pillows with our exclusively designed shams and pillowcases.
4. The Universal Blanket
Be it dorm room, urban apartment, or farmhouse, every home should have a quality blanket on hand. It’s the do-it-all piece we all need, with uses that make every day more comfortable and enjoyable. From the legendary warmth of our alpaca wool throws to the gentle softness of our light cotton blankets, there’s a weight and weave for everyone. Your gift can be used as an extra layer for chilly nights or a cuddling blanket for binging shows between studies or work. It’s a road trip essential for having reliable warmth on hand, and a style accessory for couch, chair, or bed that elevates the way your space looks and feels when you’re in it. Truth is that a good quality blanket is never a bad gift. I have never regretted receiving a blanket from someone, and neither will your grad.
5. Schweitzer Linen Gift Certificate
Maybe you know everything about your grad and the right pair of sheets, the best towel, or even the perfect pillow to choose. But if you’re not sure or know the recipient is picky and prefers to pick out their own stuff, there is no better gift for your grad than one of our easy-to-use gift certificates. Able to be used online and in our retail stores, your grad can pick out whatever it is that will enhance their new journey and add years of comfort and joy to their lives. It also means you don’t have to worry if you made the right choice, because the gift they choose is always the right choice—making this gift a virtual no brainer.
