Congratulations to the Class of 2024, both the students and parents and guardians! Your hard work has paid off, and now you’re on to the next chapter of your life. Here are some gift ideas to help you recognize the graduate in your life.

Gift Cards

One of the most practical gifts you can give a grad is a gift card, especially these fun graduation-themed gift cards from Amazon. No matter how well students and parents plan for college and dorm life, they will always find something that they forgot to bring to college. An Amazon gift card makes it quick and easy to make those last-minute purchases. And, if you combine this with an Amazon Prime Student Membership, your student will get even more great benefits!

Pro Tip: Order your dorm and college essentials, like bedding, shower caddies, laundry bags, and a first aid kit on Amazon and have them shipped directly to college, rather than lugging them to campus yourself.

Go to Class!

The gift book, Go to Class: How to Succeed at College by Karen Dentler gives practical advice for succeeding in college. Written by an expert with over 20 years in higher education, these bite-sized bits of advice will ensure that your grad thrives in college and beyond!

Commemorate Their Achievements

Whether it’s a custom diploma frame, a grad cap shadow box, a senior year photo frame, a varsity letter frame, or some other personalized gift to celebrate your grad’s achievements, Church Hill Classics has what you’re looking for. Plus, my readers can take $15 off $100+ orders by using promo code Dave15 at checkout!

I ordered a diploma frame for my son, who is graduating college this year, and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out!

A Gift For Mom & Dad

When our kids turn 18, we lose the ability to legally help them in emergency situations unless the proper paperwork is in place. That is why I recommend Mama Bear Legal Forms Young Adult Power of Attorney. Be sure to read my recent article on why I’m so thankful that we have a Young Adult POA in place.

With the Power of Attorney documents, you can:

+ Make health care decisions if your student is incapacitated

+ Avoid court-appointed guardians

+ Gain access to medical records in case of an emergency

+ Interact with landlords and insurance companies
