This time of year graduation parties populate my calendar, and I never quite know what to give as a gift. So, this morning I asked around, and these are the most popular ideas my students had.
When in doubt, give money. The most requested gift is cash to buy a laptop, bike, books, and dorm supplies.
If you're looking for other ideas, here is what teens also said they'd like:
Spiritwear for their new school.
A nice water bottle. Bonus points if it's one of their new school colors.
Stationary to write thanks you notes for all their graduation gifts.
A portable charger to use during a long day of classes.
Gas cards to help them escape the dorm every once in a while.
A gift card to the coolest local dinner spot or pizza delivery on their new campus.
