Congratulate your graduate with one of these great gifts

Finishing school during the pandemic is an accomplishment on a whole other level. Even with the introduction of vaccines and boosters last year, the pandemic has made life hard for all of us, particularly students. Not only have they had to deal with the challenges of remote learning and exams, but theyโ€™ve had to cope with an unprecedented level of social isolation, instability, and uncertainty. Yet, despite all of this, they finished. Thatโ€™s why, this year, graduates deserve something even more special to honor that fact.

Here, weโ€™ve compiled a list of practical and fun products that celebrate this impressive accomplishment while helping high school and college graduates transition more easily into the next phase of their lives. Our picks range from classic Carhartt beanies ($16.99) and excellent laptops like the HP Spectre x360 14 ($1,099.99) to true wireless earbuds like Appleโ€™s third-gen AirPods ($169) and Sonyโ€™s WF-1000XM4 ($248). We also have picks to help your grad cook, clean, and have some fun โ€” that is, when theyโ€™re not busy with work or their next stage in school.

Feel free to pursue our list of recommendations below, whether youโ€™re looking to pick a gift up today or merely glean some inspiration for a later date.
