What The Tech: Graduation Gift Ideas

CHARLOTTE, N.C.- It’s graduation season and if you’re looking for the perfect gift for a high school or college graduate, you may be tempted to give them cash.

What teenager or twenty-something doesn’t like to receive cash right?

The thing is, cash and gift cards are quickly spent and forgotten.

I’m of the opinion that the perfect gift is one they didn’t see coming but can use every single day.

When it comes to picking out the perfect gift for the tech-savvy teenager or young adult in your life, you can’t go wrong with the latest gadgets.
They live in a world where being connected is second nature, and their smartphones and laptops are extensions of themselves.
Imagine the joy on their faces when they unwrap a gift that’s not just wanted but needed.

Light Up Their World First on the list are the innovative panel lights from GoVee and Nanoleaf.

These aren’t just any lights; they’re a canvas for expression. With the ability to set them to any color or palette, these lights sync with music to create an immersive atmosphere. They’re a hit among gamers who love to immerse themselves in a vibrant, dynamic environment.

Fashion Meets Function Next, consider the Dusk sunglasses – a fusion of style and technology.

These aren’t your ordinary shades; they come equipped with built-in speakers and microphones.

Ideal for the active college student or the outdoor enthusiast, they can darken or lighten with a simple tap, making them as practical as they are trendy.

Eye Care for the Digital Age For those who spend hours gaming or working on screens, blue-light-blocking glasses are a must-have. Gunnar Optiks offers a range that promises to reduce eye strain and eliminate glare, making them a favorite among influencers and serious gamers.

The OhSnap Phenomenon If you’re looking for something more budget-friendly, the OhSnap smartphone grip is a game-changer. It’s sleeker than a pop socket, magnetic for easy wireless charging, and versatile enough to double as a stand.

It’s the kind of gadget that once they start using it, they’ll wonder how they ever managed without it.

Sound, Storage, and Simplicity Other noteworthy mentions include the Bose Soundlink Flex, a small but powerful Bluetooth speaker that’s also waterproof.
For the student or remote worker, a portable hard drive is invaluable. And let’s not forget the convenience of a three-in-one charging cable, compatible with mini-USB, Lightning, and USB-C connections.

Giving a tech gadget means more than just handing over a cool present. It’s a way to show you understand their interests and lifestyle. It’s a statement that says, “I get you.”

And isn’t that what we all want – to be seen and understood? And remember, when they look back on their coolest
gifts, it’ll be your name that comes to mind.
