Graduating from college is exciting, but it can also feel slightly terrifying. Along with celebrating a huge accomplishment, many grads jump right into looking for a job. Some might be getting their first apartment, too, which brings on a whole new set of responsibilities. That’s why getting the right graduation gift is so important: They aren’t merely celebratory, they can make these huge transitions feel a little less overwhelming.
We’ve curated dozens of gift ideas that celebrate their accomplishment and prepare them for life after college. Some of our picks are practical, meant to make adulting less daunting, including clothes steamers for interviews, kitchen essentials for staying fed, and robot vacuums to keep floors clean while you’re busy. Others are more about helping grads have fun during their downtime, whether that’s with a portable speaker, a gaming monitor, or an OLED TV.
