Graduation is, first and foremost, a time for celebration. But, moving onward and upward, leaving familiarity behind can also elicit feelings of stress, confusion and uncertainty.

From complete cookware sets and high-quality bedding to durable commuter briefcases and adult-looking watches, everything the graduate in your life needs to feel well-equipped for the Real World (and feel appreciated by you!), is below.

Every song we need is on our phone, but once we see that needle drop on a record, the little synapses in our brains pop off and we need to start collecting records. The AT-LP60XBT is a great starter turntable because it has a built-in preamp as well as Bluetooth capability, making the entire setup process easier for first-time turntable users. You just need to connect a speaker and you’re good to go. Plus, Audio-Technica makes well-respected products that won’t damage your records, unlike the stuff you’ll find at Walmart.

The E310 might be Vitamix’s base-level blender, but it’s really all you need to whip up healthy smoothies, protein shakes and meals at home. The 48-ounce container is ideal for medium to large batches and variable speed controls to dial in the perfect texture. The blender also comes with a 5-year warranty, which is Vitamix’s way of saying this thing works now and it will for a long time to come.
