With graduation parties everywhere, it’s time to start thinking about what you’ll be gifting your favorite high school or college graduate. Luckily, The Northwest Company has some great college-themed gear for a university grad who’ll be missing their school or for an incoming college freshman who is ready to rep their new colors!

Featuring a large number of universities around the United States, items from The Northwest will make sentimental gifts that grads will love. From beach towels to throw blankets to backpacks and more, the options are truly endless.

And if it is Dad you are looking for, look no further! The Northwest Company has NFL, NBA and MLB gear for all of Dad's favorite teams!

And if your dad or grad is a Disney fan, then you will also LOVE their selection of Disney gear! My favorite is the Cars, "LMQ" Double Sided Cloud Throw. It is so soft and comfy - it is great for children (and adults!) of all ages to cuddle up with!

Make Meals Easy for A New Graduate with @get_chefd!

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

One thing I know I have mentioned before is how much I HATE GROCERY SHOPPING and meal prepping! I don't so much mind putting the meal together (if I have the time!) but I hate checking for what I need, shopping for it and getting it all ready.

So when I saw there is a site like Chef'd where they do all the hard work for you, I absolutely FELL IN LOVE!!!!

Chef'd is a non-subscription meal delivery service and is perfect towards College grads entering the workforce or to new college students who don't have time for healthy meals! Plus, Chef’d is great for young adults trying to navigate their own kitchen for the first time. Chef’d makes dinner time quick and easy with a variety of meal choices, some that can be prepared in under thirty minutes.

I ordered two amazing meals and one DELICIOUS dessert from Chef'd and my family LOVED every single one! Plus, they were so easy to prepare and I loved having all the ingredients waiting for me! No trip to the grocery store, no endless digging through my cupboards, NO STRESS!

The Jucy Lucia with baked fries was probably my husband's favorite! He couldn't stop talking about how good it was! Above you can see all the ingredients they sent me to make the meal!

It was easy to make and so flavorful!

The Mixed Berry and Mascarpone Pie was also a HUGE hit!

It was so easy to make and, although I had never had a Mascarpone pie before, I LOVED it and so did my whole family! The whole pie was gone in minutes!

Even my dad, who can be pretty picky, enjoyed it! It was fresh and perfect for eating during the Summer heat!

So, if you are like me and hate the grocery shopping and prep part of cooking or just need to spend less time in the kitchen, then check out Chef'd! You will never want to have it any other way again!

Clothing for Dads & Grads from Everyday California

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

Clothing makes a great, useful gift for Dads & Grads this month! Some of the most comfortable clothing I have is from Everyday California, a La Jolla-based lifestyle company, who specializes in ocean adventures (kayaking, SUP, surfing) and premium California-inspired apparel.

Everyday California’s premium quality apparel is made in California from extra soft cotton that’s free of pesticides herbicides, gmo’s and toxic fertilizers. Also, all of the apparel is made in small batches, which means over time you have a unique lineup in your wardrobe.

Check out my two favorites selections for Dads and Grads:

For the Grad (who may be headed to California for school or just is dreamin' of sunny days all year round!)

Dreamin

This slim racer back tank is incredibly soft with excellent stretch for all day comfort. California Dreaming never looked so good.

The fabric consists of 47% Cotton, 47% Rayon 6% Spandex and is so soft and comfortable! I love hot days now because I get to wear this tank! It is figure flattering and is so airy and cool!

And for the Dad that likes to relax after a hard day's work....

CARLSBAD

The Carlsbad joggers are Garment Dyed with a softener, just like their amazing shirts, for that perfect fit and feel. Since the recent craze with joggers, they've incorporated a basic jogger that is of premium quality fabric and fit that can be an everyday basic. Lounge in comfort while looking great.

The fabric consists of a French Terry Triblend with all materials sourced from the USA:

• Cut & Sewn in Los Angeles
• Embroidery done in San Diego
• Shipped to you from La Jolla

The minute I saw these pants for my husband, I wanted to steal them!! They are so soft, so comfortable and just make me want to snuggle up by the fireplace and read a good book! My husband LOVES them and is a little sad he has to wait a whole season until Fall to wear them again!
