Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Our boy is graduating College in a couple of weeks!!!
Where did the time fly? So proud of him

I'd love to buy him a Gift, but what? Also planning on buying a gift for his girlfriend, so needing ideas for male and female graduation gifts. He's 20 and she is nearly 23 if that helps.

I'm totally stumped.

Erin,
Did you ever find anything?

What came to my mind is very classic: a high quality fountain pen, possibly engraved
This can be for both male and female graduates.

One idea we've used a couple of times for coming of age type gifts for young men is a really good shoe shine kit. It is hard to find the ready made kits like the one my dad got for graduation and still uses to this day, but we have made our own by getting a nice, masculine zipper bag and filling it with the appropriate accoutrements: polish in brown and black, applicaton brushes, buffer brushes, and a polishing rag. But being able to properly shine one's shoes does seem to be an important thing for a young man entering the world.

A nice wristwatch also comes to mind.
