When I graduated from high school four years ago, I never could have imagined the journey the Lord would take me on over the following months and years.
The graduation party that I waited, shopped, and planned for felt like an ending- but truly, it was only the beginning!
Teens are notoriously hard to shop for to begin with- but add in an event like high school graduation, and things get even more tricky! Skip the cash and grab a gift from this list- you'll be supporting Catholic businesses and authors, and helping your grad to grow in their faith. These are products I personally use, or from companies I support- and I know you'll love them, too.
This book has been a companion and guide through college as I've discerned career plans, relationships, and other big decisions. I would recommend it to any high school grad as they navigate all the ups and downs and decisions that come with being a young adult.
Amber Knorr is a sacred artist and a professor at Franciscan University in Steubenville, OH. I have these sacred art plaques on my desk at school- they're very high quality, and the perfect size for a desk, bookshelf, or windowsill. They make a beautiful addition to a small prayer space, or the prints in her shop would be a beautiful gift when framed. Use code THELITTLEAPOLOGIST10 for 10% off.
I'm an avid prayer journaler- and whether your grad also loves to journal, or will need a notebook for work or class, these beautiful Marian themed journals are a fantastic option. They're small enough to be portable, but durable enough to hold up through late night Holy Hours (or study sessions).
Who doesn't need another Rosary?! Blessed is She has created a collection of Rosaries that are both beautiful and strudy enough for everyday use. Between the Saint Joseph Rosary, Saint Therese Rosary, and many more, there's one for every grad! Use code THELITTLEAPOLOGIST for 10% off.
You can't go wrong with jewelry- whether your grad is headed to work or to college in the fall, jewelry is a fantastic way to share your faith. Colleen handcrafts and designs each piece of jewelry, and she's constantly coming up with new products! (You'll be supporting a dear friend and mamma when you shop from her, too!) Use code TLA20 for 20% off your order.
If there's one product that I've used virtually every day since graduating from high school, it's Hallow. With daily Scripture readings, reflections, rosaries, audiobooks, and devotionals, Hallow is perfect for anyone who needs to sneak in a couple extra minutes of prayer throughout their day.

The Blessed is She Liturgical Planner is one of my favorite Catholic planners! With plenty of space to plan assignmets, work, and summer plans in both the big and mini versions, this planner not only helps you to stay organized, but also to live your faith. With feast days, prayer reminders, and beautiful quotes, your grad will have another way to integrate prayer into their everyday life and live liturgically. Use code THELITTLEAPOLOGIST for 10% off.
One of the most frustrating things about being a college student is not being allowed to have candles in a dorm room- but that doesn't mean we can't make a sacred space! I've used these candles from Amazon for years now and they're fantastic!
An absolute necessity of Catholic life. Most people have Bibles- but they may not have a copy of the Catechism. This document lays out the teachings of the Catholic faith in a way that is simple to reference and understand- perfect for busy young adults!
This is one book that I would buy in bulk and give to every single Catholic grad I know. In Why We're Catholic, Trent Horn explains many of the most basic and misunderstood Truths of the Catholic faith, and explains in a very digestable way, why we believe what we believe as Catholics. This is fantastic both for grads to read and have on hand when others ask questions.
