College Graduation Gifts for the Person Who Has No Idea What Comes Next and Is Fine With That

College graduation is one of those moments that sits at the edge of something. Four years — or five, or three and a half, however it went — are done. Whatever happened in them happened. The next part is coming and it isn't fully formed yet, which is either terrifying or exciting depending on the day and the person and whether they've had coffee. The gifts that work at this moment are the ones that fit both the celebration and the transition. Something that marks what they finished. Something that fits the person they are now moving into whatever comes next. Not a mug that says CLASS OF. Something they'll actually use in the life that's starting.
