7 Gifts From Nordstrom That Grads Will *Actually* Love — Even Years Later

A jewelry piece is always a good milestone marker, especially when it's personalized, like a monogrammed necklace ($148). A timeless design and precious metal will ensure it's a keepsake that can be worn forever.

"I have a thing for monograms, and my most special monogrammed piece is a necklace my grandparents gifted as part of my high school graduation present. It not only saw me through all four years of college, but it's also still the number one staple in my everyday jewelry rotation. I'm not usually much of a necklace girl, but the larger diameter is just enough to make a statement without clashing with my other pieces." — Carrie Carrollo, assistant native editor, Beauty
