Do you want to get your friends graduation gifts that they’ll never forget? These Etsy finds are one of a kind – perfect picks for the feminists in your life that are impossible to shop for. Instead of just handing your roommates gift cards during graduation, watch your friends rave over these special items. We’ll all be getting our own places soon, and these items may just match the Pinterest aesthetic of our first apartments (fingers crossed).

This girlboss candle is ideal for that friend of yours with a business degree. It has a clean, minimalist look that will match any room. Bonus: this candle is under $30, even with its large size, and it’s available in three scents.

Did you know that only thirty-eight percent of lawyers in the United States are female? In honor of all the female law graduates this year, consider purchasing this aesthetically-pleasing shirt that’s currently on sale for under $20! It says “women in law” several times, and it is available to customize. Do it for Elle Woods!

I grew up idolizing Sally Ride, so I think it’s about time that we had more women in space! This inspirational tote bag includes the outlines of several famous NASA female alum, notably Mae Jemison and Katherine Johnson.

Speaking of famous women in history, this cute wall hanging is available in multiple sizes and features the faces of female Supreme Court justices. This is ideal to add to any room but especially a boring study space that deserves some sprucing up.

If you’re a woman pursuing higher ed – let’s say to become a history professor – then this poster is a must for either your home or office space. It’s a gorgeous vintage suffragette poster that reminds us all of just how far women have come. It’s available in smaller sizes in case you want to frame the picture for your desk or, perhaps, gift one to a friend.

We all have that friend that’s a little too into witchcraft. Instead of questioning it, show them that you support them with this funky, cool “hex the patriarchy” pillow that is equal parts a graduation gift and Halloween home decor.

This ecological flag featuring an Indigenous woman and a tiger is an ideal gift for any women studying environmentalism, ecology, or even Indigenous feminism. It’s an eclectic piece that is perfect for the intersectional feminists you know.

This feminist magnet is a great choice for that English major friend that is impossible to shop for. It’s always a challenge to buy them books because you don’t know which ones they’ve already read, so why not get them a witty fridge magnet instead? It reads: “Read Books and Dismantle Systems Of Oppression.”

And, finally, this enamel mug with colorful art and an important message: “not my competition,” signifying the reality that women work best when supporting one another. This mug is a great gift for anyone, but is a nice reminder for us recent college graduates that the women we work with are our greatest allies.
