College Graduation Gifts for Networking in Style

A college graduate needs to be prepared for networking events.

Networking is often a critical component of career success. Say it with me, “It’s not what you know, it’s WHO you know.”

When my husband graduated with his Master’s degree, I gave him two gifts that would allow him to network in style.

Thoughtful College Graduation Gifts for Him

His first gift was a watch made of natural wood. Wooden watches look amazing, professional and serve as a conversation piece.

They come in different colors depending on the type of wood you choose, and they’re very lightweight.

No one can show up at a networking event without business cards. So for my husband’s second graduation gift I gave him a wooden business card holder engraved with his initials.

Getting a gift engraved or personalized with the graduate’s name or initials really makes it one-of-a-kind and special. When they wear it or use it, it’s not just an accessory, it’s a statement.

Here are some other college graduation gifts for networking in style:

• leather padfolios
• cufflinks
• fancy pen
• tie bar or tie clip
• shoe shine care kit or valet

Any of these graduation gifts will give someone that extra boost of confidence to conquer the world. And look good doing it!

The richest people in the world look for and build networks. Everyone else looks for work.  – Robert Kiyosaki
