Teen Graduation Gift Basket

When our niece graduated from middle school I was looking for a cute and creative gift idea online.  I searched Pinterest, but most gift baskets for graduation were for High School Graduation.  So I used some of those ideas and used a few of my own.  I thought this idea was absolutely adorable, what college student would love to receive one of these?  I decided to go with the colors and mascot for the High School she would be attending the following fall.  So, this is what I came up with...

I found a bunch of essentials for High School and a few fun items as well.  The blue bucket was purchased at the dollar store and the rest were found at either Target or Meijer.  The basket includes the following:

• Watermelon cup with lemonade singles packets
• Hand sanitizer with a tag that read "Just in case"
• Ibuprofen with a tag that read "For life's little headaches"
• Hershey's nuggets with the tag "Nuggets of Wisdom" which I saw here
• Paperclip bookmarks that we made
• Sticky notepad holder which I found here 
• Eraser with "oops" tag
• Pens
• Desk Planner
• Notebook
• Hairbands
• Gum
• Nail polish
• CapriSun

Here are the notebook, which we just tied on some coordinating ribbon, and the desk planner.

Then I just arranged all of it in the blue bucket and wrapped it in cellophane and tied it with ribbon.  I didn't take a picture with the cellophane as it is hard to see what is actually in the gift basket.  

Thanks for stopping by.
