GRADUATION GIFT IDEAS FOR BEST FRIEND 2021

1. Friendship Bracelet

Friendship bracelets are always a really good graduation gift idea for your BFF. This one is perfect for besties that are moving away from each whether for college or job opportunities. 

Moving away from your best friend after spending years of your lives together is hard. I love that this friendship bracelet symbolizes connection. 

2. Ember Coffee Mug

This coffee mug is seriously the holy grail of coffee mugs. It keeps coffee hot all day long. That means no more trips to the microwave to reheat your coffee 5 times a day because you keep forgetting about it haha!

3. Polaroid Camera

Polaroid cameras are perfect for capturing some of the best memories when you are out making memories. There’s just something special about polaroid camera pictures that makes everything so much better!

4. Yeti Rambler 

Okay, you guys, this Yeti Rambler is THE BOMB! I don’t know about you, but I personally always struggle with drinking water throughout the day with regular hydro flasks. 

But this hydro flask comes with a chugging drinking straw making it so much easier to drink a lot more water throughout the day. This would be the perfect graduation gift idea for your best friend!

5. Fake Plant Set 

It’s no secret that real plants can be super hard to take care of. That’s what makes fake plants so amazing! 

This fake plant set would be a great gift idea for your bestie to take with them to their dorm room or new apartment after graduating. 

6. Gel Nail Kit 

If your best friend is a gel nail lover, you’ve got to get her this gel nail kit! She’ll save so much money on trips to the salon. This gel nail kit comes with so many neutral and chic colors so she’ll never get tired of doing her nails at home. 

7. Ring Light Tripod

Having accessible good lighting is a must have nowadays. From taking selfies to recording Tik Toks, good lighting is necessary for almost everything we do. This ring light tripod is small enough to store in your room but is still almost just as powerful as a standard ring light.   

8. T3 Curling Iron

The T3 Curling Iron has been all the rave lately. It’s one of the best curling iron out there for that effortless beach wave look. Your best friend will love this gift!

9. Tumbler 

You can never have too many tumblers am I right? I love how aesthetically pleasing this one is! I have it in white and I would never want to drink my iced coffee out of anything else!

10. Work Bag

If your bestie is heading into the workforce after graduation a nice work bag is a must have. I love that this one is sleek and simple and almost looks like a purse!

11. Daily Devotional Journal 

This daily devotional doubles as a guided journal making it super easy to apply it to your own life and making it extra personal.

Starting a new season of life is undoubtedly hard and it’s more important than ever to lean on your faith for support. 

12. Travel Makeup Bag

I love how sleek and simple this travel makeup bag is! It’s unlike standard makeup bags because it comes with pockets and compartments inside for easy makeup organization when you travel. 

13. Car Vent Mount 

If your best friend has a smaller car, this car vent phone mount is perfect! Most of the other car phone mounts are bulky and take up a lot of space. This is one is small and compact while still getting the job done.  

14. Lounge Wear Set 

No girl can have too many loungewear sets in their life. This super cute one is from Amazon is perfect to lounge around the house in. 

15. Carry on Cocktail Kit 

This graduation gift idea is for college graduates, but how cute is this cocktail kit? What’s better than a good cocktail on the go?! (not literally on the go, but you can bring it with you to your destination) Your girl friend will love this graduation gift idea!

16. Beauty Must Haves 

So instead of listing these individually, I decided to lump them all together because I think it would be a really cute gift basket bundle along with your friend’s other beauty favorites. I’ll give you a quick rundown of everything.

  • Beauty Sponges: These sponges are simply amazing and they make foundation look FLAWLESS on skin. They are a fraction of the price of the normal Beauty Blender and you get 5 in one pack!
  • GIMME Hair Ties: These hair ties are the best for avoiding hair snagging and breakage than normal hair ties cause. They even have different sizes for different hair types!
  • Makeup Removing Cloths: You can say goodbye to makeup remover wipes! All you have to do is wet these cloths with water and they will remove ALL of your makeup. Amazing right? They are reusable so you just have to throw them in the wash and they will be ready to use again and again. 

17. Star Projector 

This star projector was all over Tik Tok last year! It’s relaxing and great for movie nights, self-care nights, and more! It just really sets the vibe. 

18. Movie Projector

This movie projector was another Tik Tok fan favorite and would make an amazing gift idea for your best friend! This movie projector + the star projector is any movie lover’s DREAM

19. Hyper Chiller     

Now, this blew my mind away! Okay so you know how making iced coffee at home is not as good because the ice always melts a little? Well, this hyper chiller chills your drink for you before you pour over ice! If your bestie is a coffee lover she is going to obsess over this!
