Even though this graduation season looks different this year, you can still make the grad in your life feel special and celebrate this important achievement. 

A thoughtful graduation gift for that high school or college graduate is one way to recognize the milestone and let them know you are proud of them. Here are our top 10 gifts your graduate will love!

1.  A cooler for the beach or lake

The Yeti Hopper flip 12 is a great starter cooler. With its soft-sided design, it is one of the easiest to carry around, whether you are going to the beach, on a short hike, or even on a picnic at the park.

 2. A way to capture memories

Your new grad will be able to capture amazing memories on all of their new adventures with the GoPro Hero 7 silver bundle with SD card. This compact, rugged, and waterproof camera takes stunning HD videos and features its HyperSmooth stabilization.

3. A light and compact hammock

An ENO hammock is the must-have item on everyone’s list right now. It is the best sidekick to your adventure — you can tie it up almost anywhere and just relax. Don’t forget to grab a set of Atlas straps needed to hang up the hammock. You can find them here.

4.  The perfect weekend bag

The Patagonia Black Hole duffel is the go-to weekender or soft-sided travel luggage. The Black Hole 55 is perfect for holding ropes and a rack of cams, a clean change of clothes, climbing shoes, and anything else you may need for a short adventure.

5. A functional, stylish daypack

Your one of a kind grad deserves a one-of-a-kind daypack. The Cotopaxi Luzon Del Dia daypack truly is unique; no pack is the same color and all of them are handmade. This 18-liter pack is a great size for day hikes and other travel needs.

6. Adventure-friendly drinkware

The Thread vertical wallet is the perfect item for those who need to keep debit and credit cards safe, but don’t want to carry a bulky wallet or purse. It’s the minimalist’s dream for a secure, stylish card holder. Plus, it has RFID blocking technology for added protection.

8. A lightweight tent
