Yup, I was going to say cash as well.

Unless she's close enough to you where you know some of her interests or passions like music, a certain band, art, science, sports etc. Then you could make the gift more personal and get her something like concert tix to a band she likes, passes to an art or science museum for an exhibit she would be into, Yankeee tix, something along those lines.
Cash

Is just about the most thoughtful gift you can give someone that age.
A nice leather journal with $100 check inside would be a good gift

It's nice to have an actual memento as well as the cash gift.
Thanks.

We’re going to get her a gift card to a local coffee shop or school bookstore. She is heading from DC to Boston College.
Its really expensive in Newton  
Jim in Forest Hills : 6/9/2018 11:20 am : link
those are good ideas.
Put the $100  
Jeever : 6/9/2018 11:34 am : link
into a Roth IRA in vested in an Index Fund.
If she's leaving town...  
Dan in the Springs : 6/9/2018 11:40 am : link
Why but her a gift card from someplace local? Just curious.

Those are good ideas.

Do you know if she'll have a car while at BC? If not maybe look into seeing if Amtrak sells gift cards or vouchers. Then she could take an already paid for trip home anytime she liked or needed to.

Local to Boston College, not her hometown.
Get a Pandora bracelet..

with a graduation charm.
Candlesticks always make a nice gift  
pmmanning : 6/9/2018 12:42 pm : link
maybe a place-setting or maybe a silverware pattern
CASH

$100 ticket on NYG to win Super Bowl  
Pork Chop : 6/9/2018 2:10 pm : link
33/1 odds now.

She either wins $3300 or has a fun season watching the Giants and has a great story. Win-win either way.

Gift for HS grad  
nochance : 6/9/2018 2:36 pm : link
The school book store should come out of her school funds. It's a gift for HER so cash should be the best choice.
My wife..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 6/9/2018 3:12 pm : link
got my daughter's friends Alex and Ani bracelets for graduation and they all went over well.

I had said to go the $$ route, but my wife wanted it to be a keepsake for the occasion.

This post has been up for 10 hours and not one person suggested a chastity belt? BBI is slipping.
Some Bitcoin

Or some really really nice flowers

Or just cold hard cash!

A combo/gift card is fun also like movies/Olive Garden combo or just a prepaid Visa/Amex is always good

Also, a north face jacket or sweatshirt from clearance, kids love those!
Check out Tiffany's.  
Bubba : 6/10/2018 7:08 am : link
Not a joke. They have plenty of nice gifts under $100 plus something about the little Tiffany blue box and silver ribbon adds class.
Bubba's idea sounds like the best for a girl that age.  
Ira : 6/10/2018 8:57 am : link
Maybe you can have something engraved.
Cash is the only real option  
Big Rick in FL : 6/10/2018 10:29 am : link
Then she can buy whatever she wants from wherever she wants. Gift card to a certain place is so limited. You gotta go out of your way to spend it.
Depends  
GFiLA : 6/10/2018 11:46 am : link
If she is not your daughter then money. If she is your daughter then something tangible so that years later she can remember how she got it. With money it will be gone in a heart beat.
