What The Tech : Graduation Gift Ideas pt 2

Midrina Tucker,

CHARLOTTE, N.C.- Graduation season is upon us, and if you’re holding an invitation, you might be looking for the perfect present.
While cash is always a welcome gift for high school and college graduates, why not surprise them with something unforgettable?

How do you find out what they’re excited about? I went to TikTok.

TikTok isn’t just for dance challenges and viral videos; it’s also a goldmine for discovering what’s hot in the gadget world.

These are the items that students are buzzing about, the ones they can’t wait to show off to their friends.

Remember the β€œClapper” from those old commercials?

Today’s youth are captivated by its modern counterpart: the smart plug. Simply plug in a lamp, sync it with Alexa or Google, and command it to light up.

Clapping is optional but equally fun.

For those seeking a splash of color, smart lightbulbs like the Nanoleaf offer over 16 million hues to set the perfect mood, all controllable via voice assistants or Apple Homekit.

The Lume Cube Edge Light stands out as a favorite for its versatility. It’s the ideal desk companion, offering adjustable color temperatures and brightness levels, perfect for creating a conducive workspace or enhancing video call lighting.

The Pivo smartphone camera mount is a hit among TikTok creators. It’s like having a personal videographer; just place the phone in the Pivo Pod Max, select your subject, and let it track and zoom automatically, capturing every move with precision.

For iPhone users, the Apple Airtag is a practical yet trendy gift. It’s the ideal solution for keeping tabs on backpacks, luggage, or any prized possession. It’s the kind of gift that they’ll appreciate more and more with each use.

And then there’s the gadget that has TikTok users scrolling in style: the Bluetooth scrolling ring. It lets users navigate through TikTok, flip through ebooks, or switch videos with a simple slide of the finger.

It’s especially handy for staying entertained during workouts on the treadmill.

These gadgets aren’t just cool; they’re practical, innovative, and sure to be the talk of the graduation party. So, if you want to give a gift that stands out, consider these TikTok-famous gadgetsβ€”they’re bound to make any graduate’s day even more special.
