Top 10 High School Graduation Gifts Recommended by College Girls

High school graduation season is upon us, which also means gift-giving season has arrived!

I don’t know about you, but I always struggled to find just the right gift for my favorite high school grads. One that was thoughtful, unique, and useful!

 Last year, I polled a ton of my college girls and asked what their most cherished, favorite, and helpful gifts were. Their answers may just surprise you!

1. Academic Year Planner – you could even personalize it by writing encouraging notes or quotes in each month!

2. Toolkit – so many girls commented on how helpful this was! Some friends in their mid-twenties even went out of their way to tell me this was a gift they had received at high school graduation and they still used it!

3. Water resistant picnic blanket – for those nap, I mean study sessions, on the quad.

4. Bathroom accessories – buy a cute shower caddy and fill it with flip flops, nice shampoos/conditioners/soaps/lotions, and even a wrap towel (for hair or body!)

5. Large Tote Bag -So helpful for overnight trips or when just carting around lots of things. You could buy a classic canvas tote and add a monogram or buy a waterproof/washable one like this Logan & Lenora bag. (happens to be my favorite brand!) 

6. Stationary – Personalized stationary. Pick a font/style you know she would love! Minted.com is a great place to look. Include stamps!

7. Gift cards – specific recommendations from college girls included: Amazon, Starbucks, Uber/Lyft, or find what’s local in her college town and include restaurants, grocery stores, or even a nail salon.

8. Laundry accessories – buy a cute laundry basket and fill it with tide pods, dryer sheets, a handheld steamer, a robe, slippers, throw blanket… the list could go on!

9. Portable bluetooth speaker – for that aforementioned “study session” on the quad.

10. A book that was meaningful to you in college with a handwritten note inside full of your advice – I was given 3 books when I graduated high school: The Shadow of the Almighty, How to Read a Book (thanks Dad), and The Incredible Four Year Adventure. All 3 books came from adults who had read the book themselves and couldn’t recommend it more. So I read them! And that’s partly why I wrote The College Girl’s Survival Guide. I wanted a book that I fully trusted to give to all my sweet high school grad girls! One that was raw, dealt with real issues, but was grounded in Biblical principles in an attractive way.
