The holiday season is upon us, and for high school seniors, the beginning of a new chapter is ahead in only a few short months. Celebrate this milestone with gifts that are thoughtful, practical, and geared toward their exciting transition to college or whatever adventure lies ahead. Here are ten gift ideas that will delight any high school senior:
- New Laptop: A laptop can be one of the most important items a college student needs. There are so many great options in many different budgets. This is something a Senior will be sure to love!
- Planner Book: Help them stay organized and focused with a high-quality planner. Sometimes it so nice to have a planner that you can actually write in instead of using a smart phone or tablet for scheduling.
- Personalized Keepsakes: Commemorate their high school journey with a personalized gift—a custom-made necklace, bracelet, or keychain with their initials, graduation year, or a meaningful quote. Also, photo gifts from a senior portrait session are a great choice!
- Subscription Services: For those days of downtime in school, your senior will appreciate some time to kick back and binge watch a Netflix or Hulu series. A year long subscription is a great gift!
- Self-Care Package: As they embark on new adventures, encourage self-care with a gift basket filled with skincare products, scented candles, cozy socks, and a heartfelt note.
- College Gear: Help them represent their future college with pride. A hoodie, hat, or any merchandise from the college they’ll attend can make them feel excited about the next phase.
- College Essentials: Practical gifts like a sturdy backpack, notebooks, pens, etc. Kind of boring but this stuff adds up for a college student!
- Ikea Gift Card: Heading to a dorm with nothing but a bed and a dresser can be depressing, a gift card to a store like Ikea can let your senior pick out some awesome inexpensive furniture and artwork to decorate their new place!
- Fitness Gear: Encourage a healthy lifestyle with fitness-related gifts such as a gym bag, yoga mat, or a subscription to a workout app they can access anytime.
- Technology Accessories: Laptop bag, tablet case, new phone case, all these are awesome ideas. Don’t forget that they may need things like chargers, power strips, power adapters and battery banks!
All in All, the most meaningful gifts often come from knowing your senior’s passions, interests, and upcoming plans. Tailor your gift choice to reflect their personality and aspirations, and your gesture will surely be appreciated. Celebrate this special moment and the bright future ahead for the high school senior in your life!
