Graduation Gift Guide

Graduation season is finally upon us (we made it!) and such an exciting time calls for some exciting gift giving. I know I have a list of grad parties to go to and I recently started to think about gifts for my friends (and also, for myself!). Moving away to college is an amazing milestone but it can also be nerve-racking. I started thinking to myself "what would I want to get?" and "what do I need for day-to-day college life?". I recently came across Pottery Barn Dorm's site and all of their new designs (it's all so cute!) and started to compile my own wish list for grad gifts along with a gift guide for all of you that is full of gifts that are as cute as they are useful!

Tip for gift giving: While browsing the site I came across their Shop by Style. It's such an easy way to pick out presents based on personality and personal style! I LOVED all of their polished designs so that made it super easy for me to put together my wish list!

1. Drawstring Shower Caddy
A gift idea I've done in the past is filling a shower caddy with fun soaps and bath bombs, it's practical but looks precious when wrapped up! The Caddy on it's own is so cute but filling it with little mementos and beauty must-haves is a fun way to make the gift extra special. Nail polish and face masks are perfect for a move-in roomie beauty night! I opted for the gray polka-dot pattern but they have other patterns as well!

2. A Cozy Bathrobe
This is another classic gift that will for sure be put to good use in my hall bathroom next year! It's a practical piece that is definitely needed. This robe is sooo soft! I know it is going to be perfect for getting ready or those cozy roomie movie nights.

3. Hang-A-Round Chair
As soon as I sent this chair to my roommate she immediately replied in all caps how excited she was. It is an affordable addition that can be easily stored away. Bonus for space saving! They come in so many different colors and textures like faux-fur for a little extra glam. It will be a perfect addition for extra seating to use when necessary!

4. No Nails Paper Photo Frames
I love the idea of a gallery wall but hanging frames is tough. These No Nails Paper Photo Frames are a perfect way to showcase some favorite high school memories. You can mix and match them in any way you want and the simple design is easy to pair with any other dorm room decor!
