A science or engineering degree is years of hard work — the gift should reflect that, not undercut it with something disposable. The best graduation gifts for STEM majors are useful, well-made, and personal: objects a new graduate will actually keep through the next chapter. Here’s how to choose, by recipient.
The graduation gift that works for almost any STEM major
Our Flask Vessel is a double-wall 304 stainless steel water bottle drawn from the Erlenmeyer flask form — insulated, leak-resistant, and laser-engraved with calibration markings. Add a name and graduation year with engraving and it becomes a one-of-a-kind keepsake that marks the milestone and still earns daily use at the first job or grad program.
Gifts for chemistry and science majors
For a chemistry or science graduate, a recognizable scientific form lands better than a generic gift. An engraved Flask Vessel, a molecular-structure engraving of a meaningful compound, or a piece from our chemistry gifts & science drinkware collection all fit. See more gifts for chemists.
Gifts for engineering graduates
Engineers value precision and material quality. A durable, insulated, cleanly designed bottle reads as considered rather than gimmicky — ideal for a commute, a job site, or a desk. Browse STEM gifts for more.
Gifts for grad students and PhDs
For someone heading into a master’s, PhD, or research role, choose something that survives long lab days and late nights: an insulated, leak-resistant bottle they’ll keep at the bench. A personalized engraving makes it a marker of the achievement, not just another water bottle. Explore our STEM graduation gifts.
Buying for a whole graduating class or department?
Universities, departments, and student programs order engraved Flask Vessels in bulk for graduation, alumni, and recognition gifts. Minimum order 25 units. Request a bulk quote or order a $25 spec sample first.
The simple rule
A great graduation gift is useful, durable, and personal. Mark the milestone with something they’ll keep — then add their name. Explore more science gifts or gifts for scientists.
