10 High School Graduation Gifts We Adore

Loftie Alarm Clock

Yes, we know your smartphone can wake you up, but this alarm clock offers more than just a get-you-out of bed tone. From sleep sounds to meditation, gentle wakeup, a nightlight, and a bluetooth speaker, this bedside alarm will help keep your grad well rested.

Tovala

Chances are, your grad will now be cooking for himself or herself, potentially with limited space to make elaborate meals. Enter Tovala. This countertop smart oven can double as a toaster and an oven, making it one of the only things you need to cook every meal. The steam component allows you to make juicy chicken or flaky fish without fail. Go ahead and scan those Trader Joe’s frozen meals and it’ll tell you the exact cooking time and temperature it needs. There are also tons of recipes to follow and if you don’t want to cook at all, there’s a meal plan with a variety of entrees made to perfection in this oven.

Collegiate Pouches

Any new college freshman needs plenty of gear showing off their university. These beautifully hand woven pouches are a more subtle way to show school spirit, but something that can also be used daily. Turn it into a makeup pouch, a place to store keys and a student ID, or even a bag for their candy stash.
