Graduation Gift List — Share What You Actually Need
Relatives default to cash because they don't know whether you're heading to a dorm, a first flat or a new job. One line about what's next changes the whole list.
Next chapter — Iris, after graduation
Finished in June and moving cities for a first job in September. Cash is genuinely fine, but people keep asking for specifics, so here they are.
Good to know
- Anything for the desk or the move is more useful than decorative things.
- Two relatives have offered to group together on the travel fund.
Please avoid
- No graduation-themed keepsakes.
- Nothing heavy — I'm moving with a car load.

How to make this one work
1Say what's next
A dorm, a first flat, or a new city each need very different things — one line explains the whole list.
2Be honest about cash
If money helps most, say so, and keep a few specific ideas for relatives who'd rather buy something.
3Think about the move
Light, packable things beat anything bulky if you're relocating.
4Group the big one
One shared idea gives relatives an alternative to three separate envelopes.
If you're moving, the list doubles as a starter kit: pans, bedding in the right size, a desk lamp, a reusable bottle, a decent notebook. Keep things packable if you're relocating, and mix in open ideas like 'a good chef's knife, around fifty euros' for relatives who prefer choosing the exact item themselves.
Be honest if money helps most, and add one bigger shared idea as an alternative to three separate envelopes — group ideas with a target are on the paid plans, and guests coordinate and pledge between themselves rather than paying through HintGifts. Reservations can be anonymous, and Surprise mode hides them from you on the paid plans.
