Graduation Gift To Inspire...

Two of my nieces are graduation from high school this year...the oldest and first in the cousins of my kids! So I have thought about grad gifts that they could USE as they go off to college and would still be fun!

This is what I came up with: (all to be wrapped separately and labels of each on top OR all put together in a large laundry basket. Whether you just kinda dump it all in...like I did...or arrange like a gift basket...which BTW if you don't already know....clear scotch tape is your friend!!!)
