Top 5 Tech Gifts For Grads!

June 7, 2017 By Ashley 10 Comments

My kids aren't ready to go off to college. Trust me, I would be huddled in a corner somewhere sobbing if they were. But a lot of you are watching your child graduate from high school and get ready to head off to college. Wondering what to get your grad to celebrate? This list of Top 5 Tech Gifts For Grads is for you, with love from a former college student who wishes this awesome stuff had accompanied her to college. 

Top 5 Tech Gifts For Grads

HP DeskJet 3755 All-in-One Printer

Can I tell you how much I hated going to the library to print? It was a nightmare. Inevitably, there was a line, they were out of ink, or it wasn't open when I needed to print in the 11th hour. Okay, maybe that last part was my fault, but still. The struggle was real. With the HP DeskJet 3755, your grad doesn't need to relive my pain.
Top 5 Tech Gifts For Grads 
It is the smallest all-in-one printer, easily fits into your dorm room or home, and it is only $69.99! The 3755 has built-in WiFi, mobile printing, and is Instant Ink ready. 

Buy it today on HP, Amazon, or in stores near you.

Speaking of ink, you know and I know your kid will most likely not remember that the ink is getting low. Honestly, as an adult, I don't pay attention to that stuff. Pop-up windows warning me it's low? X, I've got other things to do.

With HP's Instant Ink, students, parents, and everyone else, no longer need to stress about ink. 

How it works:

  1. Check to see if you have an eligible printer.
  2. Sign up for the plan that meets your needs. Ink, shipping, and return package for recycling the cartridge are included.  
  3. Special HP Instant Ink cartridges are sent by mail or included with your printer.
  4. Billing and service start after you insert your first HP Instant Ink cartridge.
  5. Your printer tells HP when to send more ink. 
  6. Save up to 50%!
  7. Use those savings to pay on college loans.
So go ahead and print all the things!

    Great list! I had an HP printer for years and I loved it. I recently tried a new brand and I don’t like it nearly as much and the ink costs more too. My next one will be an HP again.

    I just learned about HP Instant Ink. My current printer isn’t compatible, but I may just get one that is. Love my sprocket also! Good gifts for millennials who live in a totally digital world.

    This would be such a great gift! I know that my brother who just graduated high school would love to have a good printer. It will be fun to print pictures, but also help with college in the fall.
