20 Unique High School Graduation Gifts They’ll Love
Graduation season is upon us, which means all those high school seniors have one last summer vacation before becoming official college students. If you’re struggling to come up with unique high school graduation gifts for the upcoming grad in your life, you’re not alone. It can be tough to give a gift that doesn’t scream “I just went to the nearest TJ Maxx and picked up something cute.” You want to leave a lasting impression that will stay with them throughout their first year of college, maybe even all four years!
1. Makeup Brushes
Have a Harry Potter fan in your life that also loves makeup? Gift them this magical set of Harry Potter makeup brushes and they will love you forever.

This popcorn maker allows you to pop natural popcorn kernels with your preferred amount of butter, but skip the unhealthy ingredients that microwave popcorn usually contains. Perfect for late night movie sessions.

Maybe they want to make their dorm room a little homier. Or just less dormy. Either way, a hammock is a perfect way to spice things up!

6. Bonsai Tree or Succulent
This is the perfect gift for their future dorm room. We all know how drab dorm rooms can be, so why not spruce it up with a nice little plant that requires minimal maintenance? Make sure you get the right plant when it comes to maintenance and light requirements though! Some plants vary.
7. Fujifilm Camera and Frames
A Fujifilm camera will be perfect to capture their favorite college memories, and then hang them on their dorm room walls! Or, if for some reason they’d prefer not to hang them up, these frames will make the perfect desk adornment.

Dorm rooms can get hot and dry in the winter, so this mini humidifier would be the perfect fix for that problem.
14. Tabletop Arcade Game
Binge watching Netflix is only fun for so long. It’s nice to switch things up a bit, but in the winter, it can be hard to come up with things to do. You’re stuck inside after all! That will change with this tabletop arcade game. Grab your friends and have some tournaments to get yourselves away from the TV.
15. Binge Watching Kit
It’s common knowledge that most college students spend a good chunk of their downtime binge-watching Netflix. With this gift, they’ll always be prepared for that binge-watching session.

18. Microwave Egg Boiler
If you’re worried about your high school grad eating well when they head off to college, you’re not alone.

They can cook up to 4 eggs at a time with this super convenient (and adorable) microwavable egg boiler. Eggs are so versatile, whether it be a breakfast or lunch meal, and with this, they won’t even have to leave their room!
