Let’s be real: Getting a master's degree is a Big! Freaking! Deal! It takes a lot of hard work to earn that extra degree, and anyone who’s accomplished it should def be celebrated. So, if you wanna treat them to a (very well-deserved) gift, we’re totally in favor of it. If you're not sure what to get for such a major achievement, we’ve rounded up some of the best master’s graduation gifts you can give to your best friend, sibling, partner, or anyone else who just spent all that time (and money!) getting that master’s degree.
Most graduation gift ideas are dorm- and apartment-friendly items best suited for someone who just graduated from high school or college. In other words, someone who needs some things to get their ~adult life~ started. But a master’s grad likely already has all that good stuff, which is why we’ve rounded up gift ideas that are perf for people entering a new job or career path.
Ahead, these are the best presents to give your loved one who just got their master’s degree. Congrats grads!
Let the big screen follow them wherever they please with this mini projector! And we’re not playing around when we say big screen—you can display the frame across a wall over 16 feet. Movie night just got a major upgrade with this device that can connect to pretty much every streaming platform!
Whether they have upcoming travel plans or are constantly on the go, these cute bags are the perf way to transport all their essentials. If they’re a minimalist, they can bring one. If they’re an overpacker (like me), they can stash ‘em all! And they come in a bunch of adorable floral patterns (TBH, it’s almost too hard to choose just one!).
Do they loooove snapping pics? Are they basically the designated photographer? If so, this electronic frame is basically calling their name. It plays an entire slideshow of memories on loop, holds an unlimited amount of pictures, and has customizable display times. Plus, it looks like an actual picture frame so it will blend in seamlessly with their existing decor!
Don’t know what they need? No problem! Let them do the shopping with an Amazon gift card so they can buy exactly what they want! Take out all the guesswork and they’ll be thanking you regardless!
The perfect coffee table book doesn’t exi—oh wait, it quite literally does. Whether they’re a history buff or simply treasure anything sentimental, this book is a unique gift that they’re sure to cherish. You pick a special date (like their birthday, for example) and the book is personalized with every archival New York Times cover from the selected date. Thoughtful doesn’t even begin to describe this gift!
Adulthood means adult plans which means adult calendars. So this acrylic one is super sleek to keep all of their commitments in one place. It comes with a bunch of colorful dry-erase markers so they can stay organized, color-code different plans, and easily erase to prep for the next month!
Wanna get that fave candle scent to penetrate a room without the risky flame? The solution is this candle warmer! Plus, it looks like a chic lamp so it will look chic in any room. Safe, cute, and innovative! Checks all our boxes for a perf present.
Give ‘em access to an endless library of books (including audiobooks!) at their fingertips with this super lightweight Kindle. It has a light and dark mode for late-night readers and six weeks of battery life (yes, you read that right).
If they’re headed into the ~work world~ a notebook is always a good idea! Goodbye, notes app filled with sporadic thoughts.
A water bottle might not seem like the most lavish gift, but they’ll love this one, promise. It’s leak-proof and keeps their comfort beverage (Diet Coke for me, plz) at an ideal temperature. We also love that the free sip technology allows you to choose your slurp method—chug it or use the straw.
Want to simplify their cooking routine? This non-stick pan is the foolproof solution. You can quite literally make anything with its many abilities like steaming, frying, and baking. Not to mention, the pan itself is a super chic serving plate.
The chef behind Baked by Melissa’s beloved cupcakes and TikTok-famous recipes has done it again with this cookbook. From chopped salads to sweet treats, these dishes are super simple and are sure to satisfy. A lifesaver for the busy adult in your life!
They’re gonna need some solid headphones for those bustling commutes, that in-office focusing, or to simply listen to their fave artists. So sleek and soundproof!
No matter what their go-to coffee order is, this Nespresso machine can make it—no barista necessary! Throw in a pod, and anything from an iced latte to a hot coffee will be brewed in minutes.
No matter the next step in their career, a work bag is an essential, and this tote from Cuyana is customizable for anyone’s needs. From laptop sleeve inserts to crossbody straps, you can create the ideal tote for anyone.
Not only is this speaker waterproof, portable, and has up to 12 hours of battery life, but it also has a built-in microphone so you can talk on the phone or communicate with Siri via the device!
Who would’ve thought we’d be reverting back to digital cameras?! The 2000s’ favorite gadget has had a major revival thanks to le internet, and we can’t lie, the pics do come out a lot better than our phones’.
Because what’s a graduation celebration without popping some bubbly?! We love this sparkling rosé for any occasion, and the bottle is a stunning gift in itself.
We obviously need some classy coupe glasses to go alongside that celebratory champagne, come graduation day!
If the graduate you’re shopping for is about to transition from full-time student to working professional, they’re going to have to adjust to a brand-new schedule—and this Hatch product will make it so much easier. The viral smart clock has curated routines for winding down, sleeping, and waking up.
