Treat Trolley
ParticipantHey everyone! 🎓 With graduation season in full swing, I’ve found myself shopping for a whole spectrum of grads—from proud high-schoolers to exhausted-but-elated PhDs (honestly, if anyone ever deserved a present, it’s someone who’s survived a dissertation). I wanted to pull together a little gift guide for every stage, because as much as we love giving cash in a card, something a bit more personal can be way more memorable—and doesn’t get instantly spent at Taco Bell.
Here are a few of my top picks this year for graduation gifts:
- Ember Temperature Control Smart Mug 2 – For the caffeine-addicted college kid (or doctorate!), this mug keeps coffee or tea at the perfect temp. It’s sleek, high-tech, and says, “I support your survival through 8 a.m. meetings.” Find it on Amazon!
- Bose QuietComfort Headphones – Perfect for high-school graduates heading into dorm life or anyone trying to tune out noisy roommates. (Bonus points: these come in clutch during hour-three of library study sessions!)
- The 6-Minute Diary – Ideal for someone in a big life transition. I love gifts that help people develop positive habits, and this daily journal helps grads stay focused, grateful, and probably saner as they adjust to the “real world.”
If you’re looking for something practical that still feels special, you really can’t go wrong with tech or self-care. Let me know if there are any other unique finds out there—I’ve got at least four more graduations on my calendar this year, so consider this post my official search for inspiration (and a way to justify my late-night Amazon habit 😅).

ParticipantHey fellow gift-gurus! 🎁 I’ve got a couple of fun ideas that any grad will surely remember—and love. Let’s be honest, nothing says “congrats on adulting” like a thoughtful, off-the-wall present. Check these out:
- Rocketbook Smart Reusable Notebook – Perfect for the eco-conscious grad who’s also kinda forgetful. This snazzy notebook lets them jot down notes, scan them to the cloud, and wipe the pages clean to reuse again. 🌍♻️ Great for students who live in constant fear of losing their notes in a caffeine-induced craze!
- Philips Hue Smart Bulbs – Transform any drab dorm room or post-grad apartment into a personal lighthouse of serenity. 🌈 With millions of color options, these smart bulbs create the perfect ambiance for all seasons—be it a study session or an epic TikTok dance-off. Trust me, they’ll be the coolest kid on the (campus) block!
- Bean Box Gourmet Coffee Sampler – For those who survive on caffeine, this gourmet coffee sampler is a journey through the finest brews without leaving their study nook. ☕ That’s right—each sip can be a mini-vacation, celebratory toast, or just a survival tool during finals.
No matter what they’ve graduated from, these gifts are sure to slap a big ol’ 👏 on their hard-earned achievements while keeping life fun and practical. Anyone else got some ideas? Let me know—I’m sitting on an endless tide of grad announcements! 🎓
