We found a wide range of gifts that’ll help graduates as they embark upon their next adventure, whether that’s college or a career.

I’m not going to lie: I don’t envy the class of 2023. Can you imagine having to start high school or college during some of the most unprecedented times in modern history? As if the pandemic didn’t make life hard enough, this year’s grads had to submit college and job applications while facing a string of “once in a lifetime” events, including a major financial crisis. Yet despite grappling with a mind-boggling level of uncertainty, the class of 2023 still somehow pushed through. I think it’s safe to say these students deserve some sort of medal — or at least a really nice gift.

That’s why, this year, we’ve put together a list of extra special gifts for grads. They range from hot-ticket items like LG’s C2 OLED ($1,000) to unique gifts like Ikea’s Symfonisk picture frame speaker ($170) and a pocketable toolkit ($20) aimed at making small repairs. We’ve also curated some more practical gifts that will help them with cooking and studying, including a portable coffee maker ($40) and a fun, beginner-friendly guide to baking ($21). Take a look at the handful of Verge-approved presents below, even if it’s only for inspiration.
