From in-person ceremonies to virtual events, graduation is looking different for everyone this year. When it comes to gifting, however, what’s most important for your grad to have is something that they’ll actually use.

Post-graduation, it’s a lot harder to stay organized and manage life. Thankfully, tech has evolved to help people do everyday things more seamlessly. Even better, practical tech products are more affordable than ever. The four tech grad gifts below are all under $100 and customer-approved to help make life in the “real world” a little more productive.
