It's that time of year! Many of my friends and family members are graduating from high school, college, and grad school, so its time to brainstorm for awesome presents! I really love planning out my gift-giving so I've been racking up great ideas and thought I would share them with you!!
This brand has super cute packaging and the product claims deliver. Plus, their value sets are always extremely well-priced for the products included. I really like this brand, and pretty much all of the Benefit products I have came in gift sets that I've received or purchased myself.
This is the generic version of the famed "Latisse" prescription product, and both have been scientifically shown to assist with lash and brow growth. I've been using mine for about two months and can definitely tell that it's working! It is up on the deal website Hautelook often for $25, on Amazon Prime for $30, and is also sold in CVS stores for $50.
This scent is incredible--fairly sweet but not overwhelming--and the packaging is adorable. There are many sizes to choose from, and you could create your own set!
Professional Makeup Brush Set
Sigma makes incredible brushes and the complete kits come with a great case to stand your brushes in on your vanity or to use when you travel. Use code GLAM2012 (for May) or STAR2012 (for June) to get 10% off any order and a free gift!
Amazon has 1-year subscriptions for cheap and often run deals where you can get a full year under $10. If you know that your little sister picks up a copy of Glamour every time she goes to the airport, why not just get her a subscription? Every month she receives it, she'll think of you!
Noise Cancelling Headphones
My bf has these Bose® QuietComfort® 15 Acoustic Noise Cancelling® Headphones and they are awesome. I think my dad is going to pick these up for my little bro for his high school graduation. These are great for studying and traveling - no more tapping pencils or crying babies to bother you!

A Framed Picture of the Two of You!
New grads are usually moving up and out to new apartments, and you can help them decorate! There are few things that are more meaningful than making one of your memories together permanent in a photo that they'll treasure forever. I'm loving this Ikat frame from South Moon Under.
Coffee Table Design Book
Going along with the home decor theme, how about an interior design book to get their creative juices flowing and spark conversation from guests during their summer get-togethers? Everyone always flips through my beauty and design coffee table books, and they inspire me whenever I don't have anything else going on. I'd recommend this Jonathan Adler book that is being talked about all over the web.
Michael Kors Watch
Chunky, oversized watches are still on-trend, and most young women you know would love to add an MK watch to their collection. Rose gold is having a moment right now, but I'd recommend silver or gold if she doesn't already have a steady standby metal watch. I'm loving the "Blair" style for its minimal bling:
Leather Tote for the Office
Every gal needs a structured tote for her fancy new job - splurge on her with something she wouldn't buy for herself because quality is going to be important in a workhorse bag. Perhaps this gorgeous tote from designer Botkier?
