Affordable + Useful Graduation Gift Ideas | Under $50
1. 4-Port Charger
Portable chargers are awesome. It’s always needed when you’re in college. What makes this charger awesome is that you can charge four devices at once and it has a storage compartment to store your cables. Your graduate will never have to worry about not being able to charge all of his devices again.
2. Coffee Maker
When I was in college, I was a caffeine addict—in a good way. Having a good coffee maker that can make simple black coffee is what I needed. This coffee maker is front access—meaning that you can access the water reservoir and brew basket from the front. This is a great coffee maker for a college student on the go.
3. Book Safe
Personal safes are awesome. They are portable and can carry all your important documents. This book safe is a must if your high school graduate is planning on living in the dorms or on their own.
4. Personal Agenda
Your graduate will appreciate this thoughtful gift. It will help them organize their social calendar, to-do list for classes, and extra curricular activates. Let’s keep your soon to be graduate organized.
5. Tile Tracker
This tracker is a MUST for your graduate. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been late to class because I can’t find my car keys. This tracker is the solution to never being late again. Your graduate will appreciate and love this graduation gift.

6. Throw Blanket
You will never fail when giving a throw blanket as a gift. Throw blankets are always needed. If your graduate is planning on living on their own, they will need a throw blanket. The key to finding the right blanket is to pick one that is soft and pick a color blanket that fits their personality.
7. Water Bottle
When I was in college, the number one thing I had with me no matter what was a water bottle. Having a good water bottle that can stay cold all day is a plus. RTIC products can do just that with a nice price tag. Your graduate will be using this water bottle all day, everywhere.
8. Wireless Speaker
Having a portable speaker is awesome, but a water-resistant floating speaker–AMAZING. This portable speaker can do all that at a great price. This is the perfect gift for your graduate.
9. Toolkit
When I first lived on my own, I had an Ikea toolkit. The toolkit has been so helpful for many projects when I lived on my own. Getting your graduate a toolkit is a must and they will appreciate it when they use it in to fix little things around their apartment or dorm.
10. Weekender Bag
Every college student needs a weekender bag. Weekender bags are great for short trips and you don’t need a big luggage to carry around. This is the perfect bag for a college student that will travel to and from home to do laundry.
