1. Passport Case

The J.W. Hulme Company has been making leather goods since 1905. Their skilled craftsmen create beautiful items out of leather sourced from a handful of states in the US. Give your traveling graduate their Passport Wallet and customize it with their initials. It's guaranteed to last a lifetime and every time they pull that passport out, they'll remember you as well as how they got to where they are in that moment.

2. Wrist Watch

We may all be hearing about the Apple Watch but nothing says style like a classic American-made wrist watch. Show your graduate the importance of timeliness as well as the strong impression this classic presents on the street and in the board room. Shinola, a Detroit-based manufacturer, makes watches that beautifully represent the manufacturing prowess and Motown roots that make Detroit special both historically and today. Available for women and men. Shop Shinola Watches.
