The time for purchasing graduation gifts is almost here, and I’m here to help you out! (Along with a lot of input from friends)

High school seniors' requests:

Cash

1,000,000 Zaxby's gift cards

A slightly lower number would be fine too, I'm sure.

Other gift cards

For dorm supplies, for food (maybe even to somewhere nice that a college student couldn’t typically afford), for gas, for coffee

Jewelry

A quilt made from old t-shirts

Pictures from friends

A personal letter

Or anything else sentimental and meaningful.

Continued love and support

What current college students found most helpful:

Again, cash

T.J.Maxx Gift Cards

A small tool bag

With a hammer, tape measure, etc.

Advice from parents of college students:

And again, cash

A clothes hamper

Jump Drives

Towels

Clamp Lamp

It can be put on the headboard of a bed, the side of a desk, and many other places.

Over-the-door hooks

Homemade first aid kit

Fill it with cotton balls, band-aids, a thermometer, antibiotic ointment, and pain killers

A box of necessities

The things a student might not know they need until they need them - a can opener, flashlight, hammer, etc.
