Grad Gift Ideas

One of my best friends that I have known for years. My mom and I wanted to do something more personalized than cash for her senior gift. We were thinking of doing like a gift basket full of stuff she might need. We’re already planning on getting her a Yeti for her monogram and school logo but does anyone else have any ideas of stuff that would go well in a medium sized gift basket? The main things I have found on Pinterest are objects that she has probably already gotten herself or aren’t very special (like shower shoes or laundry detergent packets). Any ideas would help, thanks a lot!!’

Flowers and a plant that she can enjoy are nice. If you do both, then she would have pretty and life. Like many women of a certain age, I would love a post bridal shower and get new towels or small appliances so maybe a gift certificate to a bed and bath. What does she enjoy doing. Reading and more, an Amazon gift card. Personally, I would like new sleepwear ans such, but am past Victoria’s Secret. If she likes art broadly, s season pass to art or natural history museum, subscription to magazines such as National Geographic, Smithsonian, state historical society magazine, tickets of the three of you to local activities or sites, I like gift certificates because I can choose what I like. Dinners out for the three of you. If she lives in a winter climate, yak tracks. The logo things are fun, but personally I wouldn’t want lotion and other things that fit in the grocery basket. Amazon has a set of shoe horns in various sizes, a back scratcher or brush, large file for feet from Amazon. You could fill your basket with Amazon loot plus the gift certificate.

Ah, different senior. But I would have liked Anazon stuff like yak tracks, shoe horn which are difficult to f I nd, a snuggly blanket like a Biederloch however it is spelled.

Here are some small things I can think of offhand that my D would have liked/used: travel mug? cuddly socks? some nicer than normal school supplies ( ex. they have some cute staplers, tape dispensers, post-it notes etc.)? small picture frame with a photo of the two of you? box calendar with a theme she likes? Starbucks card?
