High school graduates may be heading off to higher education and living away from home for the first time. There are many gifts that can ease this transition. Gift durable luggage or a laptop backpack to send them off in style. Setting up a dorm room or apartment also requires many essential items. A clothes steamer or a handheld vacuum will simplify daily chores. Gift a natural light alarm clock to create a healthy morning routine. These clocks can be multifunctional. Many include white noise and bedside light options. Add a soft, weighted blanket to improve restful sleep. A small room air purifier will also demonstrate a show of educated concern.
Of course food is always a top priority when moving away from home. Gift a small, personal appliance such as a single serve coffee maker or a hot air popcorn popper. Select a high quality vacuum insulated water bottle to get them to class and back safely hydrated. Do a little research to discover what restaurants are near their future destination. Buy a few gift cards to allow the graduate to enjoy these establishments. As an alternative, personalize gifting a food they love and can make easily. A grilled cheese toaster (yes, it is a real thing) is a comfort food winner. Buy a case of tasty ramen and pair it with a stylish noodle bowl and ceramic chopsticks to earn high marks.
Electronics are always welcome gifts. Noise canceling headphones, surge protectors, and portable phone chargers will come in handy when studying or working. There are many options if you decide to give an electronics docking station. Choose one that can power the recipient’s devices: computer, phone, e-reader, and watch. These stations address a daily task and organize the clutter. If you want to be promoted to the head of the class, consider a pair of virtual reality glasses. Fun!
No matter the graduate, there are some gifts that are always “top of the class.” A high quality leather wallet or eyeglass case, trendy house shoes or comfy, supportive slippers are thoughtful gifts. A small safe to hold valuables and other important documents is a practical and unique choice. Many people prefer to give cash. If you choose to do so, make the gift pleasantly surprising. There are many origami tutorials online for folding money into bouquets, animals, and other delightful presentations. You can also purchase a generous gift card to fill up their gas tank and enclose it in a beautiful card that reminds them to always find their way home.
