21 Best High School Graduation Gifts (2025)

What's old is gold, and the kids now love flip phones. Except they're not dumb flip phones (those are popular too). No, these are smartphones that bend in half, making them easy to stuff in ever-shrinking pockets and purses. Motorola's latest Razr 2025 phones are our current favorite folding flip phones (8/10, WIRED Recommends). The Razr 2025 is a great place to start, and it sells at a shockingly reasonable $700. But if your grad is particular about photo and video quality, you may want to upgrade them to the Razr Ultra. They can even hold it in Camcorder mode to capture fond memories, like the good old days.

For the grad who is constantly jotting down random thoughts, mapping out to-do lists, or prefers hand-written notes, a digital notebook is an excellent choice, and they won't run out of pages. The ReMarkable 2, the top pick in our Best Digital Notebooks guide, has a matte screen that feels like paper, and writing on it is quick and responsive. They can organize different notebooks or quick sheets and sort them via folders and tags.

The stylus doesn't need to be recharged, and it attaches to the side of the tablet magnetically. For an extra $50, there's the Marker Plus upgrade, which adds an eraser on the other end of the stylus. ReMarkable offers a keyboard attachment ($199) as well, which feels satisfying to type on (distraction-free) and doubles as a notebook cover.
