The locker sticks to any smooth wall and can hold up to 40 lbs.
A Basic Tool Kit
I received a tool kit as a high school graduation gift and, to be honest, wasn’t all that excited about it. Once I arrived in my dorm and word got out that I had tools, I had a steady stream of new friends stopping by to borrow a hammer or screwdriver. I cannot even count how many times this tool kit came in handy over the years and it has stayed with me through college, grad school, several apartments and now my house. Every person should own one, and especially college students and this has been my go-to graduation gift ever since I received mine.
