Best Graduation Gift For Daughter From Mom
1. Jewelry
This is such a huge moment that your daughter has been working for (and you too Mama) that it should be celebrated with a timeless piece of jewelry. I am talking about something classic here that she can wear for the rest of her life.
You could go with diamond stud earrings, a pendant necklace, or even a special ring.
If you don’t have a jewelry store that you love then you have to check out Shane Co. They have the most beautiful selection with a wide price range and they ship all over the place.
2. Watch
You could also go with a classic watch. It is an amazing traditional gift. And she can wear it with anything.
I got a watch for my college graduation and I still wear it all the time, I am almost 40.
3. Take a Vacation
There is nothing more special than giving someone your time, your undivided time!
Plan to take your daughter on a vacation. It could be just you and her or you can invite your whole family. You won’t have a better opportunity than now to do it.
Of course, there are so many places to choose from but Hawaii has always been on my bucket list😊.
Let me know in the comments below if you have gone to Hawaii and what you liked best about it.
4. Photo Book
Make a photo book for your daughter. Girl, this is going to take some time but man, your daughter is going to love it.
When I say it will take time, it will. This is something you probably want to have been working on since the beginning of her senior year if you can only do a little at a time.
I make one every single year for my husband for Father’s Day and even though he looks forward to it and looks through them often, my daughter is the one who looks through them the most.
5. Digital Picture Frame
And speaking of pictures, you have to consider a digital picture frame for her. Girls love pictures. Preload some pictures to get her started and she will have all the feels.
This is so easy for her to use since she can load pictures on it from her phone using Wi-Fi. You will be able to load pictures too since more than one person can be logged into it through an app.
It is also space-saving, which is perfect for dorm rooms or apartments.
I have it and it is the most looked at decoration in my house.
6. Camera
This Instax Camera is such a fun way to capture memories.
My youngest sister has one and my daughter does too.
Stock her up on film. It also makes great stocking stuffers in her future (you know she isn’t too old to get a Christmas stocking).
7. Graduation Party
What better way to celebrate graduation than with a party? Big or small, it is your choice.
She will be able to say thank you to everyone who has supported her to get where she is today.
If you want to save the wear and tear on your house, book to have it somewhere else.
8. Money
Even though your girl has graduated she is still going to need your money. It never seems to end right?
Give her a gift of money to help her with her next adventure in her life.
9. Luggage
Get your daughter a nice set of luggage. Go with a classic color because it is going to last her a very long time.
I got a nice 5 piece luggage set for my high school graduation from my aunts and uncles and at the time I was like, um, thanks. I still have it and use it any time I travel so now I am like “THANK YOU!!!”. It has been so useful.
They even put bath sheets in them. Those were so good that when they wore out after about 10 years, I went out and bought them again.
10. Bathrobe
If your daughter doesn’t have a bathrobe already, get her this soft and cozy bathrobe.
It is so good that she will be hanging on to it forever.
11. Slippers
Ugg slippers are where it’s at to keep her feet extra warm. They have hard soles which help them make so long.
12. Earbuds
Beats knows how to make amazing earbuds. There is a reason they are so popular.
Your daughter can listen to music while she exercises or while she is lounging around.
You know they are so good.
13. Sherpa Fleece Blanket
Girls can never have enough amazing blankets.
Even though there are multiple sizes to choose from, I would go with the Twin or Queen size. She can use it on the couch or her bed.
14. Water Bottle
Women love water bottles and if you think she could use one, get her a Hydro Flask Water Bottle or a Stanley Quencher Water Cup.
You know both of these are so good!
15. Perfume
If your daughter is graduating from high school she may not want to go with perfume but instead a body mist. The Sol De Janeiro Hair and Body Fragrance Mist has a fantastic line that smells so good.
But if your daughter is done with college, she is going to love either DIOR – Miss Dior and Valentino – Donna Born to Roma. They both have a warm floral scent that is young and trendy.
16. Kindle
Give your daughter a Kindle. It will be continuous cheap entertainment for her for years to come.
If she has a library card, she can check books out from her public library. I rarely buy books for my Kindle.
Get the cover also. I am so careful with mine but even mine hits the floor.
17. Travel Mirror
Even though this travel mirror isn’t much, it is so essential for every woman. It is so slim that it can fit into any bag and the cover flips open to become a stand.
This mirror was something that I didn’t know I was missing in my life and now I am like, how did I travel without this mirror? Wowza, it is so good.
18. College Apparel
If your daughter is off to college, hook her up with her new college’s apparel. You can get a sweatshirt, t-shirt, pants, or even a hat.
I know a lot of girls love to dress the part so she will love this.
