Wow. What a downer.
Sorry but it is reality. It is a very muted experience this year and I think next year will not be much different. When DD missed the end of senior year we just looked forward to college in the fall but it only continues to feel like she is missing out.

I'd get her an item of spirit wear from her new school (sweatshirt, hat, jacket)

This is a really good suggestion.

I'd send a gift card to Target or BB&B for decorating her dorm room in the Fall.
Alternatively, you could send a blanket with the logo on it. My teen loves fuzzy things.

remember that you want to send something and the send her a food care package once the weather turns her freshman fall. She's getting showered with gifts now, something later would probably be more meaningful

When my daughter got into college, her older cousin had a pillow made on Etsy. It was designed from a photo of my daughter's cat. My DC loved it, a little taste of home to take with her when she went away.
Sorry, but I don't know the exact vendor.

I’d love any ideas for something fun for her which celebrates this great accomplishment.
If she is a coffee/tea drinker and the school is on here a customized mug might be a fun and useful gift: https://www.yeti.com/en_US/yeti-college.html
These are very pricey for a mug at around $50 but yeti makes great products...

Send a card, then ask what she needs when she starts college.
