(BPT) – Looking for gift ideas for graduates that won’t just end up in a drawer? You could opt for a gift card, but it’s a lot more fun to choose something you can wrap, and that you know will be used and appreciated! Today’s high school or college grad needs a fast, efficient wireless charger, which is a must-have to keep today’s vital electronic devices up and running whenever they need them.
When you’re shopping for a high-quality wireless charger, it’s super important to make sure you’re getting the real deal. Look for devices indicated as Qi Certified (pronounced “chee”), which means they meet the world’s leading standard for ensuring wireless charging works smoothly and efficiently — no matter what brand’s products they’re used with.
Why gift a wireless charger?
Chances are, your grad is tired of scrambling for cables, fumbling to plug in devices in dark or small spaces — or wearing out the port in their gadgets with constant plugging in. Wireless charging with devices built to today’s updated Qi2 standard provide one clean charging setup with minimal cords, less fuss and minimal mess.
With a wireless charger, your grad can charge their compatible phone, smartwatch and earbuds all at once, without worrying about tangled cables. Wireless chargers also come in a wide variety of designs to meet specific needs, wherever and however they’ll be used.
Best yet, Qi2 Certified chargers employ magnetic attachment between a Qi2-enabled phone and charger for the perfect charging alignment, every time. Simply drop your phone on the charger and you’ll feel the click as the devices lock together.
Help keep your grad’s phone and other devices from conking out on them with one of these thoughtful gifts that will make every day easier and less cluttered.
