Make messy countertops and tangled cables a thing of the past with this more grown-up method for keeping their electronics charged.

Everyone loves great-smelling spaces, and Lumira has made it easier than ever to keep dressers and desks smelling incredible with their Scented Drawer Liners. Each gift box contains six printed, scented sheets for lining their drawers. We especially love the warm incense fragrance of their Arabian Oud line.

Be Rooted Affirmation Soft Touch Pens: $15

Know a new grad who never has a pen when they need one? Turn their life around with these Affirmation Soft Touch Pens from Be Rooted. Not only do they come in the cutest colors, with a smooth-gliding ballpoint pen tip, but they're also printed with helpful affirmations—"Just do your thing," "Take up space," "Honor your feelings," "Protect Your Energy," "Prioritize yourself" and "Chase Your Dreams"—for an energy-boosting reminder whenever they need one.

OTOTO Nessie Family: $39

Just because they're done with school doesn't mean they can have a little fun moving into adulthood, and OTOTO's Nessie Family of kitchen accessories perfectly strikes a balance between the two. It's a multi-colored, Loch Ness monster-shaped set of three pieces—a colander, soup ladle and tea infuser—that's as useful as it is adorable.

Timberland TB9319 in Gray: $73.21

Graduation season happens to coincide with the start of summer, which is why great sunglasses never fail as a grad gift. We adore these Timberland TB9319 glasses for their sleek, unisex style and great sun protection, with frames that are made to last. Just avoid making the overdone joke about their future being so bright they need shades.

Unbound Glo Scenic Route Candle: $28

And for the graduate headed on a road trip, celebrate with one of Unbound Glo's Road Trips collection candles. We're a big fan of the Scenic Route candle, balancing woodsy sandalwood, oakmoss and pine with the floral freshness of violets and sage and the citrus notes from bergamot, orange zest and grapefruit, but they also have Coastal Swoon, Desert Roam and Sunkissed Roam scents (among others) to match the giftee in mind.
