It’s that time of year again!! Graduation will be here before you know it! Don’t know what to get your senior for a high school graduation gift? Don’t you worry, I’ve got you covered with gift ideas straight from the seniors themselves! I asked my spokesmodel team of some things that they would LOVE to get as graduation presents, and the answers are in! Whether you have a high school senior, or you know one, it’s such an important time to celebrate and brag on them as they are completing a HUGE accomplishment!

#1 Dorm Room Organization and Storage

The number one thing I heard from my seniors is that they would love to get some items to help maximize their space in their new dorm room. Storage baskets, desk organizers, extra closet space, etc. I put together an easy Amazon list of ideas, check it out here!

#2 University Gear

College game days just aren’t the same unless you’re repping your school! Gear from the bookstore is great, but make you can make it extra special and look for some pieces that are unique! Search your senior’s university on Etsy and consider purchasing something that will make her standout! Love this JMU tank from Etsy. This UVA sweatshirt. This Virginia Tech halter top.

#3 Hydro Flask Water Bottle

You just simply can’t be a college student without a Hydro Flask. Keeps the water cool and keeps your student hydrated as they walk around campus all day! This makes a perfect high school graduation gift. They aren’t the cheapest, so I know it’s something your senior probably wouldn’t just buy on her own but would be so excited to get!

#4 Cute Matching Gym Sets and Lounge Wear

Going to class in cute lounge sets > anything else. Athleisure is key in college! These cute matching gym sets from Gymshark are super trendy for the gym or for running to class! They can dress up the lounge wear or keep it casual for class, studying, hanging out, anything really! Here’s a few on Amazon I found!

#5 Coffee Shop Gift Cards

This one probably won’t need too much of an explanation. Starbucks, Dunkin’, any other coffee shops around all have gift cards that your senior will for sure be using as she’s studying away for those college classes. The coffee is a must!

#6 Cozy Bedding for the Dorm

You can never have too many cozy items for the dorm! It’s a tight space, but making it homey and cozy space to relax and unwind is huge. Blankets with the university logo, fuzzy pillows to look cute, a back pillow for doing homework in bed, snuggies, the options are endless! Here’s a few on Amazon I found!

#7 Cash Money

You can never go wrong with simply giving the gift of money! Most people, especially Gen X, don’t cary around cash anymore. Send the money gift through Venmo, Zelle, Apple Pay, etc. This way they can pick out their own items for their dorm room or treat themselves to something nice they’ve been eying lately.

#8 Dorm Room Kitchen

Those late snacks when the dining hall is closed, or early 8 a.m. classes where your senior will definitely need to grab a coffee on the run out the door, consider a few “kitchen” items to add in their dorm. This mini Keurig is the perfect dorm room size, and how fun is this little waffle maker?!

#9 Polaroid Camera

If your senior doesn’t already have one of these, this is the PERFECT gift! The little polaroid pictures are so much to take and are such a fun trend with college students. She can type them to her wall to remember lots of fun memories or a create an album full of film photos. This might just be my favorite on the list! Fuji Film camera and film packs linked here!
