Sobel Westex Tatooine 7PC Bedding Collection ($279) and The Jedi Ancient Text Towel | Clay ($79)

Any Star Wars fans have to see Sobel Westex's Star Wars home decor collection. If your recent grad is one, they'll love the Tattooine bedding collection, featuring a sandstone pink comforter and pillowcases, plus pillows featuring Tatooine's double suns and famous sand. These clay-colored towels are also a subtle nod to the series, with the alphabet from the series, Aurebesh, integrated into the design. This is an especially thoughtful gift for grads who'll be moving into their own places.

Ten Wilde Old English Birthdate Necklace: $42

We can't get enough pieces with a bit of personalization, and after seeing this necklace, we're actually surprised birth year necklaces aren't already one of the biggest trends right now.

Lenox x Kate Spade New York Vintage Cherry Dot 2-Piece Rectangular Storage Set: $30

In our opinion, the containers within a lunchbox should be just as adorable as the lunchbox itself, which is why we can't stop talking about these ones from Lenox and Kate Spade. They're made from glass, making them environmentally friendly as well as long-lasting and durable, and the cherry and dot pattern is just too sweet.

ella + mila makes truly fabulous nail polishes, and this Enchanted Collection contains six bottles in warm tones, all of which are perfect worn alone or mixed and matched.
