2011 Graduation Gifts for Her

Looking for the best graduation gifts for her ?

Graduation gift for daughter perhaps?

Well, let's see if I can help you with that.

I have only daughters so I understand the importance of finding the perfect gift for your baby girl. Malls are great and can be good if you're looking to for a present at the last minute.

But I have a feeling you want to find her something special and or unique before she heads out into the real world from high school or college.

Sometimes a shopping mall doesn't always have what you want, so most people ultimately go to the biggest shopping mall in the world, the online one, for gift ideas.

Most parents don't play favorites (you know that's wrong mom and dad) but there's just something special about little girls. I understand that feeling. I hope you find a unique graduation gift from my suggestions below.

Oh, congratulations to the Class of 2011

Kindle by Amazon

Wi - Fi wireless reading device

The Kindle is another great graduation gift idea for her. Let's face it, women love to read.

Not to say guys don't enjoy reading, but it's been my experience the ladies do a lot more than the average guy.

Amazon is the largest shopping site online, and the Kindle is the bestselling product, so what does that tell you.

The Kindle holds up to 3500 eBooks and allows you to subscribe to blogs, newspapers and magazines from around the world. So the days of lugging around bulky paperback books are over.

It offers so much more so to learn more it's best to check out the Kindle Store for more information and the list of Kindle eBooks and Kindle accessories

Gifts for techies

Diamonds are a girls best friend

Rings, earrings, bracelets, charms and pendants

One of the greatest marketing slogans ever was "Diamonds are a girls best friend," and it couldn't be more true.

Diamonds are a great gift idea for any holiday, occasion and it would definitely make a good graduation gift for her.

Diamonds and girls just go to together like peanut butter and jelly.

Some of the big online retailers include: Diamond jewelry at Amazon, Sea of Diamonds and Ultra Diamonds

Womens Fragrances

Paris Hilton, Burberry and Pink Sugar by Aquolina

I know this is probably not what you had in mind, and perfume is not what you would call a standard graduation gift, but hear me out.

In a lot of ways an high school or college is graduation is another holiday, a celebration of sorts.

Just like any gift idea, you buy it with the thought in mind that she'll use it; right?

And what personal items does a woman use on a regular basis, you guessed it, perfume.

I'm not saying get her a cheap bottle and call it good, but adding it to a gift basket or bouquet of flowers is a nice touch.

Spa Gifts and Baskets

Bed and body gift baskets and day spa gift certificates

Being a student and the grind of school doesn't allow a lady the time she needs to pamper herself.

So before she experiences the grind of the post school world, give the gift of bed and body; gift set, basket or day spa certificate.

Spa gifts and gift baskets are a great way to congratulate her on graduating high school or college.

Flower delivery

Flower baskets, arrangements and bouquets

Flowers are the ultimate gift idea for all holidays and celebrations, especially if you're in a pinch for time and need a gift at the last minute.

If your daughter, niece or friend goes to high school or college out of state, finding a florist is easy online now a days.

A bouquet might not be her main present, but getting flowers delivered is still a great way to congratulate the new graduate in the family until she gets home.

Online flower delivery websites network with thousands of local florists from around the country. Some of the most popular florists include Flowers.com and 1-800-FLOWERS.COM

Hope Chest

Wooden oak, cedar, pine and antique

Depending on whether she's graduating high school or college will determine which kind you choose.

If she's plans on going to college locally and living at home, then maybe a less formal hope chest is appropriate.

Now, if she's is graduating college and a more traditional hope chest that could go in her living room would probably be ideal.

Shadow Boxes

Display pictures, keepsakes, knick knacks and other memorabilia

A shadow box is a fancy way of saying a display case. This is a perfect graduation gift for any girl; daughter, friend, niece etc.

This is a great gift idea for someone who loves arts and crafts too. Or you could fill it up with a montage of pictures, knick knacks, keepsakes or whatever you wish from high school or college.

I'm sure her friends would be more than happy to help by giving you pictures and photos that you don't have access too.

The possibilities are endless and it's really unique, if that's what you were looking for.

There pretty cheap too, so if you're on a budget this is perfect.

Handbags, Purses and Totes

Cross body, totes, special occasion, clutches, hobos and weekender bags

Attention parents, you know young ladies like to tote around all their makeup, cell phone and whatever else they have they "think" they need with them at all times.

I've always called them purses, but I was corrected real quick by my wife and daughters. The new thing now (and for the last couple years I guess) is handbags.

Handbags are so popular I've seen them featured on the front page of Yahoo. I'm not kidding, featured right next to a story talking about Korea's nuclear program.

Apparently hand bags are big news. It's technically an accessory, but handbags, especially designer ones, make a good graduation gift for her.

Most of the bestselling handbags and purses are pretty cheap too. Or if you know she's interested in a popular designer, Coach handbags are very hot right now.

See all handbags, totes and purses.

Webcams

HD Logitech webcams

One of the biggest problems for parents when their children graduate is that they move out. Some parents celebrate, but some hate the idea of their baby girl leaving the nest.

Whether she just graduated from high school, or college and is moving to where the jobs are, staying in touch is a biggie.

Sure you can call her on her cell phone, but getting a visual so you can eyeball her is even better.

That's the benefits of a webcam for you, but she'll use it for everything else. Webcams are typically pretty cheap, but the HD ones available today look like you're looking through a window.

Women's Watches

Movado, Citizen, TAG Huer, Seiko, Omega, Fossil, Cartier and more

Watches are not just for men you know. Watches are a top 10 graduation gift idea for women, and she'll love it.

Just like anything else with women (sorry ladies), they have certain tastes in the things they put on their body; clothing, make up and especially jewelry. I'm not talking a category like casual or sport watches either, because either or could be appropriate depending on her taste.

If she's graduating high school, get her something nice that will get her through college. But when she graduates college, then you could buy her a watch that will last a lifetime.

Guys, you know how great if feels wearing a good looking watch, right. It's the same for ladies too.

Travel Vacations

Mexico, Hawaii and the Caribbean

If you have looked at some of my other graduation gift lists you have noticed travel is on most of them.

I know it's not very unique, but it's one of most popular and standard graduation gifts known to man, or woman in this case.

Vacation packages to Cancun, Mexico, Hawaii and the Bahamas and Jamaica in the Caribbean are some of the best selling travel destinations from the US.

They are all great, so I would of advise going to one of popular travel sites like Orbitz or Expedia to see what's available.

If a cruise is something that interests you, sites like Cruise Direct specializes in nothing but cruises.

Car

New or used automobile

Ok, I know full well if you planned on buying a car, you wouldn't need a gift list like this to remind you.

Or did you? A brand new vehicle is the ultimate high school or college graduation gift.

On such a big ticket item like an automobile, more than likely you already have one in mind from the local car leadership.

Depending on where you live, the pickings could be slim, because you know she's given you some ideas, and you never want to disappoint your little girl; do you?

May I suggest doing a quick search online on Yahoo! Autos or another similar site to see if the perfect car is in your area, that you may have overlooked.
