Whatever mom or dad can’t answer, Alexa can. Which makes the Echo Dot the perfect gift idea for girls who are officially out of the house.

This LED makeup mirror has thousands of raving reviews on Amazon. I’m telling you, anyone who has to live in a dim dorm or apartment building would greatly appreciate it!

I know several people who own this hard case makeup bag from Amazon and rave about it! The containers can be customized by moving/removing the inserts.

Hydration helps with clarity and focus – exactly what a new grad needs as they move into the next chapter of their life. This 20oz glass tumbler makes getting hydrated cute.

When you have roomies, this dual bath and hair wrap set is an everyday essential.

10. A Hanging Travel Toiletry Bag – Only $24.99 [More colors available]

I really do love my travel toiletry bag, but this one’s little bigger (and also an Amazon find). And all of the pockets are completely enclosed, which is a great feature. Plus, it matches the jewelry organizer mentioned below which makes my brain happy. 😉

11. A Makeup Eraser – Only $20.00 [More colors available]

The Original Makeup Eraser is gold! It removes makeup (even stubborn mascara) like a pro. And it’s more eco-friendly than makeup remover wipes.

12. A Travel Jewelry Organizer – Only $19.99 [More colors available]

I own this exact travel jewelry organizer. I got it as a gift and absolutely love it, so I feel confident other girls would appreciate it, too.

This is the film that goes with the camera mentioned above. There are a lot of options, but this colorful version is the coolest.

16. A Nice Pen – Only $18.50

Pens are practical, but that much more fun to receive when they’re super cute.

17. A Customizable Wall Calendar – Starting around $74

These Erin Condren Wall Calendars have a bunch of different frames, inserts, and accessories so you can design based on need.

18. A Hardside Expandable Suitcase [More colors available]

Everyone likes to travel, but new grads don’t always have the extra cash to drop on a nice suitcase. That’s what makes them an awesome, unexpected gift.


I hope these graduation gift ideas for girls can serve as gifts you’re excited to give. As someone who has “been there”, and who has a lot of nieces, I can say confidently that anyone moving on to the next stage of life would be pumped to receive any of these things. But at the end of the day, it’s truly the thought that counts.
