GRANDVILLE, Mich. -- It's graduation season! In addition to reaching one of life's milestones and finally becoming adults, high school graduates have a big journey ahead of them: college! Like all big journeys, you want to make sure they're prepared. At RiverTown/Serra Honda, we've compiled this list of 10 cool gifts for grads!
1. A NEW LAPTOP
During those four years of high school, your grad's laptop has seen a ton of action. Before they head out on their new adventure, retire that faithful notebook and snag them an upgrade to help them keep up with busy college life! A tablet is also not a bad idea, as many of them are compatible with stylus pens and keyboards to take notes while being easier to carry to and from class.
2. A SMARTWATCH
A nice watch is, for some reason, a "grown-up" gift. Not only will it help your grad manage their time, but many come with a fitness feature that will remind them to get up and move! On top of that, they can be notified of texts and calls right on their wrist. Gone are the days of the "my phone was on silent" excuse!
3. PORTABLE CHARGER
While most high school graduates these days are attached at the hip to their devices, they often forget to keep them charged before going places. A portable charger solves this problem, with many having enough battery life to charge an iPhone six times! Additionally, portable chargers are often about the size of the phone itself, sometimes smaller, making it easy for your grad to carry it wherever they go.
4. NOISE-CANCELING HEADPHONES
There's no better tool a grad can have in their study time arsenal than a pair of noise-canceling headphones! Whether they're in their dorm with a noisy roommate or amidst the hustle and bustle of the student commons, these will allow them to plug in and study distraction-free to their favorite music.
5. GAMING SYSTEM
Your grad may be a diligent student, but make sure they have a way to unwind once in awhile! Video games have not only been proven to help manage stress and depression, but they also help to sharpen reaction time and critical thinking skills. Get them a console like a PlayStation or Xbox for their dorm room, or even a portable system like a Nintendo Switch for entertainment on the go!
6. LUGGAGE
Whether they're studying abroad, traveling home for the weekend, or heading out on spring break, a good luggage bag is a great gift for a grad.
7. BUY AN EXPERIENCE
Now that finals are over, why not reward your grad for a job well done and help them relax this summer by buying them an experience? Check out spa days, or see if their favorite musical artist is in town!
8. BLUE LIGHT GLASSES
Chances are for most of their college life, your grad will be staring at a screen, whether it's a tablet, phone, or computer. Those screens give off what's called "blue light", which can not only damage their eyes but can also disrupt their sleeping patterns. Pixel makes special glasses, that filter this blue light to help lessen these risks. Not to mention they come in a ton of trendy styles, and are available with or without a prescription!
9. EXERCYCLE WORKSTATION
Give your grad the means to stay in shape while keeping up with their studies! Small enough to fit right in their dorm room, this allows them to get in a good work out while writing papers, filling out job applications, or just watching Netflix. Studies also show that the increased blood flow that results from exercising helps with productivity as well as mood!
Get it on Amazon.
10. GIFT CARDS
When all else fails, get them a gift card! Amazon is usually a safe choice, since they can find pretty much everything they want and need, and the cards come in cute graduation cap boxes! Visa gift cards are even better since they can use them anywhere.
