Every April brings showers, but the months of May and June bring graduations. Whether the new graduate in your life is off to study at a university across the country or has just completed a grueling four years of medical school, she is most likely packing up and moving into a new place to call her own. No matter how small the place is, the right gift can go a long way towards redefining it. Cozy Turkish bath towels and colorful Otherland candles with spring-like scents will round out any bathroom (even the communal variety), while colorful party candles and a bocce ball set designed by Fred Segal are ideal for the inevitable weekend group gathering and impromptu celebration. A sleek silver magazine rack can hold anything from term papers and class notes to lease renewals and wedding invitations, a chic tea kettle by Tom Dixon will brighten even the most dreary of mornings, and well-named colored pencils will fuel anybody’s coloring book or bullet journal addiction.

Below, the 15 home accessories that a grad will adore.
