Graduation is just around the corner. This is such a special moment for our seniors as they end a chapter and step into the next stage of their lives. For the rest of us, this time can be very bittersweet. Several of my friends are graduating this May and while we will definitely stay in-touch, things will be different as they move away to start their careers. It’s important to celebrate our friends who are graduating by not only showing up for them in-person for their big day, but also by reminding them how grateful we are for them. Here are four gift ideas for your friends who are graduating that will remind them of the friendships and memories they’ve made at Virginia Tech.
- Personalized Jewelry
-
Gifting your senior friends a necklace with their name, their graduation year or special word unique to your friendship is a great way to commemorate this milestone.
- Memory Collage Art
-
Collect all the photos you and your friend(s) have together over your time at Virginia Tech. There are several companies that print out personalized photo collages into frames. This is a great gift that your senior friends can use to decorate their new apartment or home. You could also pick one photo that really encapsulates your friendship and submit it to a company that makes music album cover wall art. You can even select the name of the song and the artist allowing you to get creative and connect both of those parts back to their graduation and/or your friendship.

- Affirmation Scrapbook
-
This gift idea takes collaboration between a group of friends. Everyone submits a picture of them and the friend who is graduating alongside a written affirmation. This gift is all about expressing your gratitude for him or her as they hit this milestone. After all the photos and affirmations are collected, add them to a little scrapbook decorated to match your friend’s personality or style. You can add your friend’s name to the front of the book and ensure that everyone signs their page of the photo and affirmation.
- Self Care Package
-
Grab gifts and treats your friend would enjoy and put them in a decorated box or bag. Some things to include in a self care package include face masks, bath salts, scented candles, shower steamers, lotions, little desserts, a mini diffuser, a motivational mug, stress-relieving coloring books, fuzzy socks, a cozy blanket, a Virginia Tech alumni sweatshirt or a gift card to their favorite clothing store or restaurant.
Congratulations to all our friends who are graduating this May! Let’s celebrate them well!
