Grade A Gifts for Grads

Choose a gift that’s equal parts fun and educational for preschoolers or kindergarteners. Let their imagination run wild with a beloved children’s book or encourage their inner artist to shine with tools for painting, drawing or sketching. If they’re forever curious, a board game or puzzle will keep them happy and entertained.

Your middle school graduate is ready to make their own memories. An instant camera lets them cherish the polaroids in a scrapbook or decorate their future locker door. For the video game lover, level up their collection so they can play solo or go head-to-head with friends.

A practical present for your high school graduate will prepare them for the next stage of their life. An Instant Pot is a guaranteed hit for easy and delicious meals, while a cookbook provides plenty of recipe ideas for meal planning. A daily planner or a smart watch will keep them on track with their schedule—and their goals. For a thoughtful keepsake, jewellery like a birthstone necklace or a charm bracelet is sure to touch the heart.

If they’re getting ready to hit the job market, they’re sure to appreciate a functional gift: a tech upgrade in the form of a smartphone or laptop, an insulated mug to keep their beverage hot or cold, a classic tote bag or an elegant laptop case to hold all their essentials, or a wallet that’ll last for years to come. If your recent grad plans to travel in the future, a weekender bag or a passport holder will satiate their wanderlust until they can freely travel again.

Let’s not forget about the dedicated teachers who work tirelessly to educate their students. After a long, unprecedented year, scented candles and aromatherapy kits encourage rest and relaxation. You can also upgrade their work station for the new school year with a classic Moleskine notebook or fun and unique stationery.
