Celebrate Her Success With These Sweet Graduation Gifts for Girls

Ree Drummond typically spends her kids' graduations "crying for ninety years," and she's no different than so many other moms out there. She's watched her two daughters Alex and Paige graduate four times now—and if you do the math, that means she's collected over 300 years of tears between the both of them. And that's not even counting the three boys' graduations. Whew!

So, if you too feel like you're going to use up an entire box of tissues at your daughter's graduation party, the least you can do is make up for it by presenting her with a winning graduation gift—either for a high school graduation, a college graduation, or even post-graduate degrees. Whether you're on the hunt for a thoughtful gift for a teen girl or a more grown-up find for the older set (say, a kitchen gift), you'll find new ideas that she'll love—and several are universally beloved enough to double as great graduation gifts for boys.

There are even sweet gifts here she can share with a group of best friends, as well as original picks that'll keep she'll cherish forever like a custom print. Of course, when all else fails, you really can't go wrong with a simple piece of jewelry. Luckily, you'll find plenty of options on that front, too. Grab your gift and your tissues, and get ready for a memorable celebration. Congrats to your happy grad!
