These Graduation Gifts for Girls Will Celebrate Their Success
Ree Drummond typically spends her kids' graduations "crying for ninety years," and she's no different than so many other moms out there. She's watched her two daughters graduate three times now—and if you do the math, that means she'll have collected nearly 300 years of tears by the time Paige finishes college. And that's not even counting the boys' graduations. Whew!
So, if you too feel like you're going to use up an entire box of tissues at your daughter's graduation party, the least you can do is make up for it by presenting her with a winning graduation gift—either for a high school graduation or a college graduation. Whether you're on the hunt for a thoughtful gift for a teen girl or a more grown-up find for the older set (say, a kitchen gift!), you'll find new ideas that she'll love—and several are universally beloved enough to double as great graduation gifts for boys. There are even sweet gifts here she can share with a group of best friends, as well as original picks that'll keep her occupied all summer long (hello, brand-new ice cream maker!). Of course, when all else fails, you really can't go wrong with a simple piece of jewelry. Luckily, you'll find plenty of options on that front, too. Grab your gift and your tissues, and get ready for a memorable celebration.
