Choosing a graduation gift is a small, happy problem to have. You want something the grad will actually use or love (and that won’t end up in a drawer by August). Here are my favorite ideas for the grad in your life.

Graduation gift ideas: Home
A sunrise alarm clock uses light (and optionally, sound) to wake sleepers more naturally.
This toolkit is perfect for someone moving into a new place. It has everything you need to hang a picture, assemble furniture, and handle minor repairs.
A compact fire extinguisher to fit in even the smallest apartment. Better to have one and not need it than need it and not have one.
Graduation gift ideas: Keepsakes
Fill in a few pages with family recipes to give your grad a taste of home whenever they need one.
Frame a nice photo for your recipient. Research shows that looking at pictures of loved ones can lower stress and help us feel more grounded.
Graduation gift ideas: Work
This stylish bag is water-repellent, fits under an airplane seat, and includes lots of pockets to keep your grad organized.
Once you get used to multiple monitors, it’s hard to go back to a single screen. This laptop screen extender solves the problem.
Graduation gift ideas: Life
For grads with travel in their future, you can’t go wrong with sturdy, high-quality luggage.
Pair a gift card with a small gift, like a coffee tumbler with a voucher for their favorite coffee shop.
Consider gifting a session with a financial planner to help them set up a budget, manage student loans, and start investing.
