Graduation is a bittersweet time and we have now entered the season of tissues and pride rolled into one occasion. Precious kindergarteners in their first time in cap and gown and the leap from middle school into high school are landmarks that most kids welcome and many parents dread. Your babies are growing up quickly and before you know it, the big one is here, high school graduation.
This is the one where kids leave the nest for the first time to venture into a world waiting to mold them into the grown-up they will become. For those who have already walked that road and have kids, friends and relatives lining up once again, it’s common knowledge that things are about to get expensive! Whether you have a graduate at home or are celebrating someone close to you, what would make the perfect gift? Instead of memorabilia and trinkets, think about providing help with essentials these favorite grads will need next fall. Check out the following ideas to help you with your graduation gift-giving choices!
Unpacking with Ease
Upon arrival in the new space, unpacking will begin. Storage will likely be far less abundant than at home. This three-pack of five tier pant hangers will allow for more fashion in a fraction of the space.
Charge On The Go
The last thing any student needs is to lose power. This laptop backpack with a USB charging port provides a cool vintage look with the necessary touch of modern necessities.
Multiple Ways to Stay Charged Up
Being away from home for weeks at a time or even a few hours, the new college student will need more than one way to stay in touch with the world and their assignments. This multiple outlet strip cord is perfect for charging all needed technology and devices.
Kick Back and Relax with Snacks
Memories of mealtime at home will always arise but when on their own, even college kids want to snack. This snack box should keep them going until they come home to refuel.
Ensuring a Hot Meal
With many changes and busy schedules, it’s tempting to grab a burger on the run. Your child will now begin to remember and truly appreciate home and hot meals. This electric hot pot can serve and add comfort in a snap!
Keeping Personal Items Personal
Gone are the days of private showers or sharing only with siblings. But, college students living on campus can keep their hygiene comfortably to themselves with this hanging toiletry bag.
Staying Focused
The new grad is on their own now in keeping up with their schedules and to-do lists. Here is a combination whiteboard bulletin-board set that will make the transition of being independent and on time much easier.
Protect More, Worry Less
No place is too safe for your grown-up babies. Ensure their safety and your sanity with a siren self-defense alarm with a high-intensity sound and LED lights.
Back to Class
With the dorm room ready, head to class with a Smead 24-pocket poly project organizer to keep everything sorted and this new normal running smoothly. There’s room for plenty of subjects with a handy pocket inside for small necessities.
Stress Relief in a Notebook, That’s Genius!
New surroundings can make anyone’s nerves a bit jittery. Relieve some stress the subtle way with a fidget sensory notebook. This cool school tool is an awesome way to unload some anxiety with its soft surface filled with poppable bubbles.
Loading Up for a Visit Home
When it’s time for students to head home, it’s likely dirty laundry will, too. Having a laundry backpack like this one will provide free hands to make loading faster and hugs come quicker.
