If there’s a particular hobby or interest they have, you can get them a journal inspired by that theme, like their favorite movie or workout class. You can engrave their name on the front of the journal as well, so they know it’s totally theirs. Write a note in the beginning of the journal to encourage them to write down their thoughts and experiences during their exciting new graduation phase.
- Laptop Stand — Sitting all day isn’t good for anyone. Get the graduate a laptop stand so they can be on their feet and stretch their legs. An adjustable laptop stand can adjust to their eye level. They won’t be hunching over their screen anymore. Goodbye to back and neck pain. They’ll thank you for this practical gift, and so will their back.
- Meal Delivery Kits — Nothing says care quite like a care package. If someone’s going off to college or starting their new job, they’re going to be so busy that they might not have time to cook a proper meal for themselves. Send them a meal delivery kit.
