Graduation Gifts for Him

The professional and tech upgrades that set him up for the first job and first apartment.

A graduation gift for him works best when it looks forward - to the first job, the first apartment, the grown-up version of his life that's about to start. The picks here set him up for it: the leather portfolio for interviews, the tech that survives a commute, the good headphones for the open-plan office. Practical, a little bit grown-up, and genuinely used from week one.

Each pick lists the honest catch, so you're giving a real head start, not a trophy that sits on a shelf.
