Graduation Gifts for Guys and Gals

High school graduation is right around the corner and this years graduates have gone through an untraditional and challenging year to say the least. I am sad for the 2021 grads that they missed so much “normalness” this year, but I am equally excited for them to move on and dive into their future! My girls will be graduating in four years and I cannot even imagine the mix of emotions that will come with that milestone. To all of the parents out there with grads this year, I feel you!

I have rounded up practical and useful gifts for those leaving the nest and headed to college or off on their own. I sure wish that Amazon existed when I was in college, it would have made things a LOT easier! There was a girl in my sorority that had an actual decorator come and set up her room in the sorority house, no joke. That was just pure craziness, BUT there are a ton of great finds here that will help kids to feel at home in their new space.
