This list of unique graduation gifts contains the best and most-wanted gifts that all graduates want. These gifts will make them say, “oh wow! That’s so awesome, I had no idea they made things like this.”
Your gift will stand out from the crowd. There are a variety of different types of gifts on this list too. You’ll find funny gifts, useful gifts, sentimental ones, and even a few gifts everyone wants when they see it.

One of the best things about buying creative gifts is that it looks like you spent time searching for the perfect thing. It has so much more meaning behind it.
How To Find A Unique Graduation Gift
Before we get to the list, I want to share a few gift-buying tips with you.
How do you find a unique graduation gift? Here are my best tricks.
Avoid Endcaps
One of the best ways to make sure you aren’t buying the same gift as everyone else is to avoid endcaps and graduation displays. If you see a bunch of gifts that all look the same, keep walking.
The same thing goes for online shopping. Don’t click through ads either. If you see “sponsored result” on Amazon, scroll past it. Chances are that a bunch of other people saw that same ad.
Shop Online
Another way to find unique graduation gifts is to shop online – mostly on Etsy. When you buy handmade gifts, they will stand out from the mass-produced options.
Buy From Local Boutiques
Another way to support small businesses and buy gifts that stand out is to shop at local boutiques or booths at craft fairs. These gifts are not coming off an assembly line, they are made by hand by someone in your area.
No matter what you do, the best way to buy unique gifts is to go where people aren’t shopping and look for gifts there.
That’s not to say you can’t get things from the popular stands, shops, or displays at stores. If your graduate loves a best-selling author, get them a few books. Or, buy something directly from the author online.
Types Of Unique Gifts
What makes a gift unique? These are the most popular types of gifts that will stand out (and I included these kinds of gifts in my list below).
Inspirational
If the gift has an inspiring quote or is a book that will inspire them to reach for their dreams, then this gift will stand out. Inspirational gifts are unique and always wanted.
Super-Techy
If you find a tech gadget that blows your mind, then grab it! This includes things like a self-warming coffee cup, a gadget that stirs food for you while it cooks, or a notebook that automatically uploads notes to an app.
These techy gadgets are impressive and always stand out.
Funny Gifts
Getting something with graduation puns will stand out from all the other gifts too! Go for the humor of the gift and it will be the star of the party.
Shopping for graduation gifts should be fun! When it comes to buying graduation gifts for anyone, you just have to go with your gut. If you love it, they probably will too.

Unique Graduation Gifts
While it may not seem like something that's useful, a jewelry dish actually comes in more handy than you'd think. They can add their keys, smaller items like earrings and more by the door when they come home.
Have a grad that's eco-friendly but still wants to be organized? These reusable notebooks are a great gift! They're portable, easy to use, and come in multiple colors too! Keep notes, journals, appointments, and more all together.
Every person has more than one device to charge these days. Now you can get them a charger that allows you to plug in all the devices to charge at once!
These little LEGO guys are adorable and a cute personal way to say congrats! You choose the face on the little LEGO figure and they hold a diploma and wear a graduation cap!
We all wear socks, BUT what if they were special socks? These funny graduation socks come in four different types but all feature a funny animal pun about graduation.
For the grad that loves to travel and go on adventures. This home decor item actually allows them to add a small cork round with their adventures to the glass frame so they can visually see their adventures all the time.
While this may hurt a book readers heart to see a book done this way, rest assured these are repurposed books that would otherwise be in the trash. Get a custom name in book form to celebrate graduation!
Being on the go ALL the time makes it hard to hydrate. When you add in a favorite fruit it does tempt you a bit more to remember. A good water infuser bottle allows your grad to add a splash of flavor while they drink their water each day.
Capture the small memories, the big memories, and everything in between. Many graduates use their cameras to capture their favorite moments and then turn it into room decor! A present that allows them to express their love for all things and create custom decor at the same time.
A gift that doubles as home decor! This supportive photo board features a touching saying and gives space to attach some of their favorite memories whether they are near or far away.
