Getting through another grad season is on everyone’s to-do lists. Somehow, each year we happen to know more graduates than we thought we did. You want to give the newest graduates something meaningful and useful but don’t want to break the bank. Here are the best grad gifts for 2023 college and high school students.


Self-Help Adulting Prep Book



Post-grad life is a lot harder than naive college students think. There are so many lessons they do not learn in the classroom that are more valuable than the majority of courses they took. What College Didn’t Teach Me is an interactive, self-help book made to get college students and graduates ready for the real world. From relationships to careers to mindset and so much more, this interactive book takes a deep dive into what the first years of post-grad life are and the lessons learned along the way. This inspirational read will give every adult-to-be the knowledge to make it through the scary days of real life. Give the gift of the future with the book What College Didn’t Teach Me.

E-Gift Cards and Money Payments

Everyone loves being able to go to their favorite restaurant or store without spending their own money. WILLPORT is the all-inclusive app that allows you to send, schedule, or set up recurring payments or trackable e-gift cards for your closest friends and family. When you add contacts to the app, their important dates like anniversaries, birthdays, and others automatically sync in your private WILLPORT calendar. Select from over 250+ trackable e-gift cards to send at the tip of your fingers.


If you would rather send money directly to the recipient, you can do that as well! Follow the instructions on how to send, schedule, or set up recurring money payments to any grad. They get a notification right to their phone making the transaction easy and simple.


The app is free to download and set up takes less than five minutes.


Tickets To A Local Event

Summer is just around the corner. There are so many local events that new grads would love to attend, why not give them an extra nudge?! Sporting events, local concerts, food and drink tasting events, art festivals, and so much more are always happening in your area. Utilize apps like StubHub and Groupon to find things to do for the graduates. Gen Z values experience immensely and they are always looking for something new to do, or try.


Portable Charger

A useful and practical gift goes a long way. Help graduates stay connected wherever they go with a portable phone charger. We know Gen Z is always attached to their phone, so give them the gift of longer battery life so they can enjoy entertainment whenever. This gift is easy to bring on the go making device charging convenient and faster.


The best gifts for college students are out there. Mix it up this year by giving something that is not only special to each graduate but is something meaningful they can take with them forever.
