With my own niece graduating from high school I’ve been spending quite a bit of time trying to find the perfect gift. Here are some of my favorite graduation gift ideas for all of the gorgeous girls out there.
I personally passed up the opportunity to have a big graduation party and asked my parents to use that money toward a cocktail ring I was coveting. I still have it and feel like jewelry is one special way to celebrate such a big accomplishment. If jewelry’s not your thing, try my other gift ideas to keep your grad looking and smelling great long after she’s lost the cap and gown.
Jewelry
Michael Kors Rose Gold Watch – The “it” watch of the moment
Fossil Tortoise Watch – Perfect for the preppy grad
Michael Kors Studded Wrap Watch – My personal favorite for the girl who likes classic styles with alittle edge
Stackable Rings – You know your grad is destined for greatness, so I love the thought of giving a gift you can build on to celebrate her future successes! Here are two beautiful options, one with diamonds and one with CZs.
Skincare
Clinique 3-Step – Years from now she’ll thank you for helping her start a daily skincare routine. This was my first skincare system and it’s still a classic.
Philosophy Great Skin Is In – To me, Philosophy seems to take something as mundane as caring for your skin and make it fun and cool, so I’m a huge fan.
Makeup
Fossil Keyper Cosmetic Bag – I like the idea of a gift you can customize. Give this to a friend with one of her favorite products inside. Or if you want to start her out with a full bag, add concealer, tinted moisturizer, lip gloss, and mascara.
Bare Mineral Get Started Kit – Everything she’ll need for complexion perfection.
Beauty Tools
T3 Prim & Preen – The addition of a heated lash curler just puts this gift over the top for me. She’lllove, love, love it!
Laura Geller Brush Set – Every girl needs a professional-quality brush set and this comes with all of the essentials.
Perfume
Daisy Eau So Fresh – A fruitier version of the original Daisy and I adore the bottle.
Vera Wang Princess – The description says Princess is for the “fashion forward IT girl,” and I couldn’t agree more.
Givenchy Play – Such a fresh, beautiful fragrance, it's perfect for any girl posed to take on the world.
