She's officially done it! Your high school or college grad is ready to embark on her next adventure, and she's going to need all the help and love she can get. But first, we need to celebrate. That's where these best graduation gifts for her come in (check out grad gifts for him if you need).

From keepsakes to luxury items to practical (yet cute) ideas, you're sure to find something that she'll not only love, but actually use. Before you get to shopping though, consider what she will need the most as she writes her next chapter. Is she headed to college (a good gift for her dorm will be key)? Taking a gap year?
