What is a good gift to share with my daughter for her high school graduation?

[naekelsey]

Was hoping to get some suggestions.

For my daughter's high school graduation we have bought her a Herstyler Straightener (the thing is AWESOME), planning on buying her a green journal with her name on it (green is her favorite color), a plane ticket to Virginia for a week in August (my dad and step mom live in Fredandericksburg Virginia & Taunya has always wanted to visit Jamestown--her 4th grade teacher was BIG on Jamestown and the class did ALLOT of things regarding it--So to kill 2 birds with one stone we have bought her the ticket as a surprise--plus it will help her to get to know my dad since he hasn't been able to around much with us living so far apart). Then I am crocheting her an afghan with her school colors in it plus the initials, JSHS 07--Meaning Junipero Serra High School....

I am jusst REALLY wanting to give her something that her and I could both share, like a necklace or something to that nature, a mom and daughter thing. Any suggestions???

And some of you are probably thinking, dang do you really need to get her anything else!!! I just want something to "ice the cake"

Thanks for any suggestions!!!

How about a nice pair of pearl earrings or a strand of pearls. They're timeless, and she'll think of you every time she wears them.

Love the pearl earrings idea. I mentioned pearl earrings to her once, just to throw some ideas in the air, and she told me she probably wouldn't wear them!! So much for that!! Thanks

maybe some kind of locket or charm necklace or charm bracelet or maybe one of those hearts that is broken in half on a necklace and you each can wear one. Maybe even get it engraved with the date she graduates or something like that. I have little boys so this is hard for me

My mom got all of us (me, her and my sister) matching diamond stud earrings for Christmas. They are small and were fairly inexpensive (compared to larger earrings) but we all love them because they are low maintenance. I can just leave mine in all the time. We all love them because diamonds are pretty versatile but it is so cool that we can have a "family" thing with them. We all match and it was one of the best gifts that I have gotten.
