Graduation Gift Ideas for Your Favorite Grad

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Framingham chapter.

Only three more weeks of school and graduation is right around the corner for us fellow seniors! If you have a friend/family member that is graduation and you are looking for a gift for them here are a few ideas:

 

1. Home representation gift

Graduation is a beginning of a whole new chapter with endless possibilities. Some people end up moving far away from home for opportunities, which can make for a great home representation gift! We all need to remember our beginnings and where we can from, so why not take a little bit of that pride with us. You can get them a little charm for a necklace or bracelet, a sign or string art, anything you can think of for them to take with them to their new home!

 

2. Framed Photos

As we all go our separate ways, we realize that we won’t see our friends as often as we did in our college years. A framed photo of you and your friends is a great little gift to them to reminisce on the memories you’ve shared together! And, if you guys are graduating together you can always get them a graduation themed frame and throw in a photo of all of you in your caps and gowns!

 

3. Money

Yes, we may be graduating and yes, we may have found a job, but we are still starting out as broke college students and wouldn’t oppose some money as a gift! Especially for those who are taking a trip after graduation, some of that extra grad cash could really help! If you wanted to make you present really graduation themed, you could roll dollars up into little diplomas!

 

4. Motivational quote jewelry

Getting your friend a bracelet or necklace with a motivational quote they can take with them is cute and heartwarming gift! They will remember you every time they read the quote on their piece of jewelry and it will motivate them to keep doing great things!

 

 5. Diploma frame

After you finally receive your diploma, you’ll want to present it for everyone to see! So, get a nice frame for your friends to hang theirs! You could even decorate it to give it a little homemade touches!
