Graduation Gifts for Teens
Dorm and campus tech that survives freshman year, plus a celebratory keepsake.
A high-school grad is about to trade a bedroom for a dorm, so the best graduation gifts set them up for that jump - the tech that survives campus life, the bits that make a shared room theirs, and one celebratory keepsake for the milestone. Practical enough to actually get used, fun enough that it doesn't feel like a parent bought it.
Each pick lists the honest catch, so you're backing the gift that goes to college, not the one left in a drawer at home.
