Graduation | Gifts for Her

graduation essentials, gifts for her, hatch alarm clock, curling iron, multi charger, passport cover, stanley cup, speaker, hair clips, body mist, lip balm, blush, portable steamer, duffel bag, luggage, graduation, graduates

I wanted to incorporate fun, highly requested items + actual gifts she’ll need! Whether you are graduating high school or college, these items work for both. I like throwing in some goodies that I know are very popular right now like the Sol De Janeiro Body Spray, the Rare Beauty Blush, the Stanley Cup and more. However, they need durable items that will last a long time, and be an essential piece when they move to college, or move to a new place! Like this luggage set, portable steamer, charging station, and this Hatch Alarm Clock. (Definitely for the kiddos that have issues getting up early..)

Graduation | Gifts for Him

Now onto the boys! Boys I would say are a little bit simpler because they just need some good basics! I don’t know about you, but I know boys who use the same backpack for years… It’s time to elevate and get a new one for the start of college or just to have! This record player is awesome because not only can you turn records, but it is bluetooth to connect to speakers or even your phone! When they move out, us moms are no longer able to make sure that they stay groomed, so this trimmer kit is perfect. It is also on sale right now for a great price!!

Graduation Essentials | Party Decor

They are perfect for whatever style you’re going for, or your school colors! All of these items are very affordable. The most expensive item are these light up numbers, and even that is under $70! Whether you are hosting the party, or throwing it somewhere else, all of these items will look great to celebrate your grad!
