Tech Gifts for Your Grads, Moms and Dads

tech gifts May brings graduations and Mother's Day with Father's Day not too far behind. If you are looking for useful and modern gifts this spring gifting season, consider these options sure to please in a range of prices:

FOR YOUR GRADUATES:
  1. Help them with all of that note-taking they will do in college with a Smart Notebook (such as Rocket Book) that will digitize and store their notes.
  2. Gift your grad a wireless printer/scanner combo so that they can print from the comfort of their dorm or apartment.
  3. Upgrade your grad's backpack with a tech laptop bag or backpack. There are even options with a built-in USB port and hidden anti-theft features. Check out the Matein brand with bags starting at just $39.
  4. Help your student get a jump start on the day with a Wakeup Light. If a jarring alarm does not start their day off on the right foot, maybe an alarm that mimics the sunrise will provide a better waking experience. Consider options from Philips, JALL or HOUSBAY — many include other built-in features such as blue tooth speakers, white noise and phone chargers.
  5. Give your grad the gift of security and peace of mind with Apple air tags or click here to read more!
