For the grad who's already thinking about where they're going next. Caps and gowns have a shelf life. The diploma goes in a drawer. The photos get posted and then buried by the next thing. But the trip they take after? The first real one: the gap year, backpacking through Europe, the cross-country move? That stays. This is a gift guide for the grad in your life who doesn't need another throw pillow or a scented candle. They need something that goes with her. A charm for where they're going beats a card with a check in it. Both say "congratulations." Only one says "I know exactly where you're headed." ✈︎ For the Europe-Bound Grad The itinerary is set. The flights are booked. What they don't have yet: proof they actually did it. A charm from the first stop; Paris, Rome, Barcelona, Athens. It's the thing they'll look down at on their train ride and feel the adventure all over again. Long after the tan fades. What to Give YOUR GRAD The Eiffel Tower charm for the Paris traveler. The Colosseum for Rome. A fan charm (that can actually open and close) if they're headed to España. An Evil Eye to bring luck and positivity to their Greek getaway. If they're doing all of it , they're going to need a place to collect their adventure. Kick things off with a chain or charm bracelet and let them continue build it over time. That's half the fun. Shop Europe Charms → ✈︎ For the Grad Who's Savoring the Moment This is their big moment. Four years, tons of friends, countless study hours, infinite coffees. It all culminates with a cap and gown, walk across a stage, and, ideally, a charm that lasts long after they figure out where they stashed their diploma... The Move A personalized charm records every last detail of the most meaningful and foundational years of their life. It's a badge of honor that says, "Yes, I did that. And now, it's official." Add your grad's name, school name, degree, grad year, graduation date, inspiring quote or song lyrics, words of encouragement or literally anything else you can think of.  A Boarding Pass charm showcases their journey with a jetsetter's sensibility. The Event Ticket charm heralds in their big accomplishment with maximum fanfare. And for those feeling a little emotional, the Air Mail charm, is the perfect landing place for handwritten letter-level sentiments they can wear (and re-read) wherever they go. Shop Personalized → ✈︎ For the Grad Who's Moving Somewhere New Not every grad is celebrating with a vacay. Some are making a new city their home, as intimidating as that might be. New York, LA, Las Vegas (really, any city major city across the United States and beyond); the bustling streets and skyscrapers are calling. New skyline. New zip code. A new memento to match. A city charm is a different kind of souvenir. It's not "I was there" but more of a "welcome home." We have charms for over 200 cities around the world — which means wherever they're starting the next chapter of their life, we've got the charm. How to Give It A charm for their new city, plus you can always add back engraving for that added touch of personalization. They'll keep the charm long after they unpack the last box. Find their City → ✈︎ For the Sentimental Grad (and the Parent Who Raised Them) This one's for the parent reading this at midnight, trying to figure out what to give their grad who is about to take on the world. How about something they can keep with them for a lifetime..and even longer? Our solid gold charms are the stuff of family heirlooms. Start a tradition today with charms that tell their travel story for generations. We're talking the champagne of travel charms made of 14k and featuring intricate details, diamonds, and tons of personal meaning.  Commemorate the big places in their life. This might be where your grad grew up. Where you took them on their first trip. Or even the airport they're flying out of next week.   It's not just a graduation gift. It's their legacy, in charm form. And if they need a place to kickstart it all, consider a solid gold bracelet or a solid gold necklace to proudly display a lifetime of adventures. Shop Solid Gold→ ✈︎ For the Grad Who Holds the Future in their Hands And we mean literally. While some grads are collecting charms to load up their bracelets and chains; other are stacking their fingers with bold rings. And ours have a lot to say. With punchy, travel-centric phrases like "Carpe Diem" or "Chase Adventure" or "Globetrotter," words of wanderlust look fabulous splashed across colorful enamel.   Sticking to metals only? The Wanderlust Ring with cutout letters, Airplane Ring that lets you flip it to read "Homeward Bound" or "Adventure Bound" depending on the destination, or the delicate "Explore Dream Discover" ring are sophisticated, subtle options ready to deploy for your grad. And if your grad wants to keep the inspirational phrases to themselves, some rings showcase stunning designs for the world to see and a secret quote around the base. Our Cloud ring in bright periwinkle blue reads "Feet on the ground, head in the clouds" just for them while the Wave ring features Ralph Waldo Emerson's quote “Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air” around its base. It's like a special message just for your grad that they can re-read whenever they need it. Our Recommendation Think about a word or phrase that drives your grad and a color scheme that fits their style. If you're not sure about ring size, remember that most people can wear a size 7 on at least one finger. Shop Rings → SHOP GRAD GIFTS Back to the blog
