It’s graduation season! Which means parties, and gifts, and big life changes ahead. To get your new college student off on the right foot I’ve rounded up some clutter-free grad gift ideas that they’ll actually need.
Academic Planner
One of the hardest transitions to college is managing your schedule. An academic planner is designed for students to track their day-to-day class schedule, due dates, and projects. I recommend this undated planner to get started. Pens are also a nice add-on and these sharpie pens are some of my favorites.
Tech Tote
School isn’t just books and notepads anymore. Everyone has a laptop and needs a way to tote it around. This laptop backpack is stylish, sturdy, and has amazing reviews.
Storage Solution
With few places to sit in a dorm room, this bed shelf will keep things nice and tidy and within reach.
Gadget Accessories
For the gadget obsessed (which is basically everyone) keep necessities close in a phone wallet case. To cut down on cords running everywhere pair it with an all-in-one charging station.
Laundry Must-Haves
Laundry is usually a “fun” new activity for college students on their own for the first time. To cut down on the guess work try bundling eco-friendly detergent strips (I use and love them), stain remover bar, and laundry cheat sheet magnet.
I hope these grad gift ideas are helpful. To personalize your gift be sure to visit the IHB shop for custom labels.
