Graduation Gift Ideas

May is here, so your mailbox is probably full of graduation invitations! My niece is graduating high school this year, and heading to college in Georgia! 

I thought I'd share a few graduation gift ideas with y'all today! I mean, it's pretty hard to shop for an 18 year old heading out on their own for the first time! 

For the recent grad, I love to gift a bunch of things together and make them a fun basket! A laundry themed basket is perfect! Send them off with a cute basket, laundry detergent, wool dryer balls, a few of your favorite essential oils (we love Citrus Fresh or Purification) and a laundry drying rack. You could also throw in a few dollars worth of quarters in there!

I have shared my love of Rustic Cuff bracelets for years, but a bracelet in their high school or college colors would be so fun! 

Gift Cards

Throw a few gift cards to local restaurants in an envelope, and your college grad will be so thankful! I mean, there's only so much cafeteria food you can eat before you're longing for better food!

A few favorites:

Chick Fil A

Raising Canes

Chuys

Pizza

In N out

Torchy's Tacos

Panera

Pei Wei

Order them a shirt for their future college! 

I also love to throw in a bunch of odds and ends that will come in handy for the future college student. Ink pens, highlighters, notebooks, a stapler, and even copy paper! Add in a desk organizer, and you're all set!

And finally, set them off right in their college dorm or apartment by giving them sheets, a college tumbler, command hooks, a desk lamp, and a comfy pillow! 

Of course, cash is always an option! Congratulations to all of those that are graduating- and a huge congrats to their parents!!
