7 Best Gifts for New College Graduates
June 2021 by stacy.g@prodege.com
Graduation is an exciting time. You're finally ready to leave education and get out into the real world. However, it can also nerve wrecking to start brand new. If you have friends or family about to take the plunge into the real world, then you want to support them as much as possible. Here are some of the best gifts for new college graduates.
#1 A real coffee machine
Nothing says “entering the real world” like having to wake up early every morning. And while this may be a bit of a culture shock to a recent college graduate, with a brand new coffee machine, it doesn’t have to be a miserable one. Looking forward to fresh, delicious coffee every morning is a luxury that having a nice coffee machine will afford you. And with sales and cash back deals from Macy's, it’s a gift that’s surprisingly affordable.
#2 A new outfit
Graduation marks a brand new time in a person’s life. They are truly setting out on their own, getting a new job, moving to a new place and becoming a new person. So why not get them a brand new look. Macy's has loads of options from all kinds of brands at all kinds of price points. And it won’t cost you a fortune because of our options to save money when you shop at Macy's. Even if their new job's dress code is a uniform or business casual, no one goes for a serious interview in flip-flops and cut-off shorts.
#3 A pair of headphones
If you want to get them a present that they’ll truly love, then there’s nothing better than a pair of high quality headphones. Perfect for anything from a trip to the gym to their morning commute, this is a gift they will rarely leave the house without. And while they can be pricey, with our offers on Newegg gadgets, you’ll find them surprisingly affordable.
#4 A suitcase
Moving is tough if you’ve got nowhere to keep all your clothes! A good quality suitcase is one of the best gifts for a young grad. If you go with a classic design then it becomes a truly timeless piece of luggage and something they can rely upon for years.
#5 A blender
Taking full care of your body can be tough as a recent grad. With things like moving, getting a job and navigating life to worry about, it’s easy to let your body slip through the cracks and end up eating nothing but junk food. A thoughtful gift like a blender can help nudge them in the right direction and encourage them to have smoothies and protein shakes rather than pizza and ice cream.
#6 A set of pajamas
Comfort is important and no time is that more true then when you’re trying to go to bed. A classy pair of silk or wool pajamas for sleep wear that will fit and size and match any person. It’s the perfect gift that any university graduate will appreciate as the relax under the covers.
#7 A grown-up alarm clock
Nothing says growing up like having a real alarm clock by your bed. While they may have relied on their phone throughout university, a proper alarm with built in radio will add a real sense of maturity to their bedroom. Plenty of us have slept in because our phone was dead (and not plugged in properly to charge overnight), or because we left our phone downstairs or in the car. An alarm clock solves that problem and more. Forcing us to unplug at the end of day, alarm clocks are the secret to a better night's sleep.
Alarm clocks these days are built more to wake you up and tell time. Alarm clocks can function as a piece of gorgeous art whatever your aesthetic, and they come fully loaded. Sunrise alarm clocks for the heaviest of sleepers, built-in white noise machines, smart alarms that gradually wake you (so you get the most restorative sleep ever), displays with varying levels of brightness (for your best sleep, or best wake-up ever),built in USB ports, and much more. Just search "alarm clocks" on Amazon and you'll see what we mean.
Summary
Graduating college is an enormous accomplishment and that anyone should feel proud of. Whether it’s a friend or a family member, you’ll want to make their achievement with a gift. With our offers on the top brands, shopping can be easy and affordable. And if you're still searching for ideas, an infusion of cash towards the grad's student loans is certainly helpful.
