I can’t believe we are already almost to the end of the school year! That means graduation season is quickly approaching and with it comes celebrations and graduation gift-giving. We actually have a trip planned in a few weeks to visit Jeff’s side of the family in Portland and celebrate our niece graduating high school. I’ve been thinking about graduation gift ideas for her and thought I would share some of those with you all just in case you know someone graduating this year. I definitely want to give something that is thoughtful but also practical for her post-grad life. All the below graduation gift ideas are sure to be loved by your grad.
I also thought it would be fun to show you some of my graduation photos from both high school and college in this post. I love throwback photos!
