Gifts for the Graduate or High Schooler in Your Life
If you have been invited to the numerous graduation parties this season, you may be wondering what to bring. It’s pretty traditional to bring cash or gift cards to graduates, but if you want to choose something more creative, here are our best ideas. These are also perfect if you want to get a head start on Christmas or birthday shopping for teens and high schoolers in your life!
-The Lululemon Belt Bag: This bag is a wild success, and is sold out almost constantly. If you see it in stock, snag one (or two), and get ready to be the hit of any party you attend! The bag comes in regular or extended belt sizing and is extremely useful for athletic and everyday use. We love the lilac color, the traditional black color, and something with a subtle print, like the grey grid. It’s under $40, so it’s also budget friendly for any occasion you are attending.
-An inspiring book: For graduates who enjoy reading or inspirational sayings, we like the "How Far You Have Come" book from Morgan Harper Nichols. It’s filled with beautiful drawings, paintings, and inspiring poetry. It’s also a lovely generic gift that you can use for a hostess gift or for someone you may not know as well. You really can’t go wrong with this easy present!
-A Mixtiles gift card: Mixtiles is super popular among bloggers for a good reason: They don’t require nails to hang up and they’re more affordable than traditional frames/glass. The quality is unmatched (I own three prints), and they’re much easier for kids rooms. This is a perfect gift for the teen or graduate in your life, and these movable tile frames are also great for a dorm room, where you can’t usually hammer holes in many walls. Giving a gift card will allow them to frame graduation or prom memories.
-A cooking service: If you want something creative and practical, we recommend Hello Fresh or Blue Apron, which you can gift to anyone. This service helps graduates and high schoolers also gain cooking and life skills, and is a consumable gift that won’t take up room. This is also a great gift for anyone who is going through a hard time and needs to take cooking off their proverbial plate.
-AirPods: This is a more expensive gift, so it’s probably best reserved for the graduate or high schooler that you want to splurge on! AirPods are an amazing and practical gift for any high schooler and we guarantee they’ll love and use them to catch up on all the latest podcasts and music. Usually you can find regular AirPods for under $100 on Amazon and at Costco, whereas the pro style will set you back around $180.
