Graduation season is officially here and we’ve been perfecting graduation gifts for young adults. We all love a thoughtful gift. Teenagers tend to opt more for items they can use daily or have had their eye on for some time. From a high school graduate to move on to being college graduates and even middle schoolers moving onto their next chapter, we are narrowing down the perfect gift. I’ve had the help from my teens on this and am so excited to help with all of your gifting needs this season. These are the best graduation gift ideas for teenagers this graduation year.
Fun Options
Firstly, we all know the kids want the cool gifts. It’s almost like Christmas round two! We’ve found some fun class of 2025 personalized hoodies, pieces of jewelry and travel gear. My kids have been interested in new sneakers, headphones and tech accessories and decor items to deck out their rooms. Think of this almost like a birthday. It’s perfect if you’re having trouble with shopping for their new adventure. Fun items they can enjoy daily like a new pricey water bottle or even beach day gifts for a big upcoming trip could be fun. A lot of these kids are entering the real world for the first time. You can even find a unique graduation gift that will be more than practical but something they will look forward to using or wearing.
Practical Items
Secondly, for any new college student, it’s time to shop for their dorm room. Move aside picture frame, we are looking for the items that are practical but on the cool side. A mini fridge, weighted blanket for stress or a brand new laptop or tablet for the school year are great options. These are on the pricier side but you can find affordable options in all of these categories. Plus these will all be used daily for them and will be perfect for this new chapter of their lives. These make for great group gifts if you are shopping for your kids’ friends and want to all go in on a larger gift you know they will enjoy.
Senior year is always a blast but before they enter the working world, it’s time for a couple years of college fun. We love the House of Noa seating and rug options! I know we will be saving them for my kids’ dorm rooms when the time comes. For now, they are great for summer hanging out with their friends in their rooms.

Extras
Finally, there are so many special and sentimental gift ideas you can opt for instead of popular items in stores. For anyone having a huge graduation party, you can order graduation invites and announcements for just $0.50 each and up to 25% off graduation essentials with my link at checkout. We did this for Siella’s middle graduation and she thought they were all so fun and cute. You don’t even need to throw a huge extravagant party if you don’t want to, but sending a fun graduation announcement to distant family members could be a special way to share the day together.
