High School Graduation Gifts For Girls

College Essentials

1. Backpack

Every college student needs a backpack! I recommend a North Face backpack as they are super durable and cute. I have had mine for 5 years and it is still in perfect condition.

2. Planner

Planners are so important for keeping organized! I would give this as a high school graduation gift for girls, as not only is it cute, it can also be monogrammed, and reused every year by purchasing new insets. There are so many cute planners out there, but I personally recommend this one that I use, which can be purchased from Amazon.

3. Laptop

If your grad needs a new laptop, then this is the perfect high school graduation gift for them! I use my laptop every single day for school work, so it is really important to have a fast, reliable laptop for college.

4. Gift card

Gift cards are one of the best high school graduation gifts for girls, as it allows them to buy exactly what they want! I would recommend a gift card to the bookstore or Amazon, as both of there is always a ton of things they will want and need from these places.

5. Shower Caddy

Every college student needs a shower caddy in the dorms. There are so many cute ones out there now too! This shower caddy from Pottery Barn is my personal favorite, I love the marble print and the fact that it can be monogrammed so you won’t get it confused with anyone else!

6. College Clothing

You can’t go wrong with giving college apparel as high school graduation gifts for girls. Etsy has really cute college apparel that is different, or look on the college book store website.

8. Monogrammed Towels

Monogrammed towels look cute, but also help to prevent your future college student from mixing their towels up with someone elses! Pottery Barn and Etsy are great places to find these.

9. S’well Drink Bottle

Every college student needs a water bottle. S’well is great as it stays cold for hours. I use my S’well every day and love it. S’well also has so many cool patterns and colors, so you can find a water bottle your high school graduate is sure to love.

10. 10 Foot Phone Charger

Outlets can be located in inconvenient places in college dorms, which makes a 10 foot phone charger one of the essential high school graduation gifts for girls. There are thousands on Amazon, and they come in a whole range of colors.

11. Duvet Cover

Most college girls dream about decorating their dorm! Giving them a duvet cover will help them to decorate their dorm, and a great duvet can really brighten up and make a room.

12. Mini Fridge

Every college dorm room needs a mini fridge, making it one of the best high school graduation gifts for girls. They are so useful for storing drinks and any small food items you have. 

13. Airpods

If your high school graduate doesn’t already have airpods, I’m sure they want some! I always listen to music or podcasts walking to and from class, and airpods are great as they won’t get tangled in their bag. 

14. Monogrammed Laundry Basket

I listed a monogrammed laundry basket as one of the high school graduation gifts for girls, as every college student needs a laundry basket. Etsy has a ton of cute, customizable laundry baskets that you can monogram or personalize to your high school graduate’s liking. 

15. Towel Wrap

Towel wraps are so useful when in a college dorm, earning it a place on this list of high school graduation gifts for girls. A towel wrap helps to avoid any embarrassing mishaps when walking back to your room after showering!

16. 101 Things to Do With Ramen Noodles

Don’t want your high school grad to eat ramen noodles every night? Buy them this cookbook so if they are eating ramen non-stop, at least they are mixing it up (and hopefully throwing in some veggies)! 

Fashion and Beauty 

17. Spanx leggings

These are one of my most worn items because they are so comfortable! They literally go with EVERYTHING. Spanx are the perfect fancy leggings every girl needs. The black goes with everything, but there are also super cute patterns like camo and leopard print too!

18. FabFitFun Box

20. Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask

This is a must for every girls beauty routine! Since I have started using this my lips are so much smoother and hardly ever cracked. I cannot recommend this sleeping lip mask enough!

21. Monogrammed PJs

Monogrammed PJs are super cute! United Monograms has a great range of pjs that every high school graduate is sure to love.

22. Tanzee 

If your grad loves to use fake tan, a Tanzee is an absolute must! You put it over your sheets and it stops fake tan from getting onto their sheets. I use mine every time I fake tan and absolutely love it! 

23. Makeup Eraser Towel

Scrunchies are a must for every college girl! I literally own 50 scrunchies… I’m not even joking. I always use a scrunchie for my hair when I sleep, and also use them to make my hair look that little bit cuter. 

Personalized Gifts 

25. Flask

Flasks are so useful and can save soooo much money. Get them a cute flask with their initials on it, or with a personalized saying. 

26. DIY Gift
