Give your grad the gift of advice with Girl, Wash Your Face, which outlines 20 lies we tell ourselves that hold us back from living our best life. Inspire your high school grad to make the most of the college career and give them some helpful advice they can take with them into adulthood with this fun book.

Whether they’re playing their favorite music in the shower or taking it to the park to spend time with friends, they’ll love how easy it is to crank their music on the go with this waterproof Bluetooth speaker.

External Battery Charger

Having a way to charge their phone on the go is essential for a college student. In addition to ensuring they stay safe while out and about, it also gives them no excuse for not calling home once in a while! This compact external battery charger is compatible with most smart phones and can provide enough power to fully recharge a variety of popular smart phones.

While your high school grad may not be doing many home improvement projects in their dorm room, having a screw driver, hammer and tape measure on hand isn’t a bad idea. A basic tool kit filled with must-have items is a great idea for a high school grad. You’ll never know when they’ll need to put a piece of furniture together or hang a picture on the wall of their new place.

On top of providing an amazing listening experience, these comfortable noise canceling headphones also offer hands-free calls with a built-in microphone. And the foldable design makes it easy for them to slip the headphones in their backpack during class.

An Amazon Prime Student subscription will also score your high school grad exclusive deals on snacks, groceries, apparel, video games, cell phones, computers, and lots of tech accessories.

    I love these ideas. Well, minus the Girl Wash Your Face book. It just made me roll my eyes, personally. But the others, I love! My son graduates next year!

    I am glad I still have a couple more years before my child gets there but when he does I know for sure he would want those noise canceling headphones.

    These are most definitely all things the high school grad can use. My college aged daughter gets the most use out of her Prime account, but a Netflix subscription comes in handy too!

    These are great ideas. I actually received a graduation announcement with the cash app name. I said this must be the 2019 way. I’ll just do that. People are going to start doing that for weddings, spend it all on the honeymoon and then have no dishes.

    I feel like everyone I know started drinking coffee in college. A coffee maker would definitely be a great graduation gift.
