After your brother, friend, or cousin makes it across the graduation stage, it's inevitable he'll head in one of three directions: the career route, the backpacking route, or the "let me live" route. Whichever path he takes, there's a present to mark his accomplishment that's useful and affordable. Ahead, a roundup of the best picks under $200 that he'll truly appreciate.
If he didn't own a denim jacket in college, he's been missing out on the one closet item that's actually acceptable to recycle three times per week. (No, that ripped frat tank doesn't count.)
Now that he's an actual #adult, up his skincare game with this five-for-one grooming kit. It includes face cleanser, hydrating cream, shaving serum, spray-on moisturizer, and lip cream.
When he wants to retire the classic backpack and go for a more sophisticated, polished vibe, look no further than Away's "Everywhere Bag." It's equipped with multiple pockets and an umbrella holder.
Champagne cocktails at 30,000 feet? Only the best for the graduate. If you're heading out of state for his graduation celebration, you might as well get one for yourself too.
If he's going to wear shorts in 30 degrees, at least attempt to keep him warm with a beanie. This one perfectly describes how he's feeling (no matter how many times he tells you he's fine).
Give him an excuse to go to a basketball game (and make him take you with him) with a new jersey supporting his favorite team. You can even have it custom-made.
