Ideas to gift to 2024 graduating seniors

With graduation season approaching for the class of 2024 you might be asking yourself, what can I get a graduate as a present that isn’t just cash? Here are some gift ideas for the graduating class of 2024.
Gift cards: A gift card for the graduate is a good present to slip into a greeting card. It could be a gift card to their favorite food place or favorite place to shop, a Winco gift card for some groceries, or even a gas card. These can be super helpful, no matter the situation. A gas pick-me-up might make a bad day in the future better.
Dorm room supplies: If the graduate you are shopping for is going to college or moving out into their own place, you can help them with dorm room or apartment essentials. This can be anything from cleaning supplies to decorations, or something fun for their room, like posters. Helping them get a head start with supplies can be super helpful, especially if it’s something they thought they wouldn’t need.
School swag: Nothing screams school spirit like some swag from the school the senior plans on attending. It could be a T-shirt, sweatshirt, hat, or stickers for their water bottle. You can be the one to help them start their college swag collection.
New backpack: Almost everyone has been using the same backpack since freshman year of high school, so those backpacks have seen and been through a lot. A new backpack is what a graduate wants or needs to start the new school year off strong. Make sure it’s something with plenty of space for schoolwork and lots of storage pockets.
Planner: Having a planner is just what a new college student will need to keep track of all their commitments and classes. College can become overwhelming quickly, so having a way to keep track of it all will keep things in check.
Portable charger: Being on campus or working all day can drain a phone battery pretty fast. Having a good portable charger that will last all day could be a lifesaver. Nobody wants their phone to die in the middle of the day, especially when almost everyone relies on their phone for scheduling and communicating. Having a fully charged phone everywhere is a must-have for a busy schedule.
Air fryer: Air fryers are becoming increasingly popular as a quick way to make a meal or a snack. One can make almost anything they want, from chicken strips to steak. Being a college student constantly on the go, having an appliance that makes making food quick and easy is a must-have.
