Graduation Gift Guide: Best Friend

Ah, I can't believe it's already time for graduation! And you know what that means...grad parties! The proper protocol is to bring a gift with you for the grad (even if you're graduating yourself). I would say, for college, the price range should be around $25-60, depending on how close you are to them. The easy route is a gift card (Starbucks and Target never fail) but if you want to go the extra mile I have some ideas for you!

Best Friend Graduation Gift Guide

1. Graduation Build-a-Bear ($30) -- How cute is this bear?! I am a proud owner of 5+ Build-a-Bears (okay, slight shame) and these guys just keep getting cuter. A teddy bear is the perfect gift for your BFF to remember you by because every time she looks at it she'll think of you! The best part with Build-a-Bear is that you can have the bear say something special, like "I love you" or sing One Direction!! That's really all she'll need, ya?

2. Bottled Dreams Perfume Sampler ($58) -- For the woman about to enter the workforce, this is a smart gift.  Every professional woman needs a signature scent (mine is Coco de Mademoiselle) and this sampler let's her test out a few before she makes the final decision. The greatest thing about this gift is that she can redeem a coupon in Sephora stores that let's her pick up a full-size bottle of her favorite scent. Genius!

3. Kate Spade Business Card Holder ($30) -- Who doesn't have business cards (or dear Lord go buy some)? This business card holder is chic and stylish so she can carry her cards in her purse and be professional where ever she goes! It's also more personal because you can get her a holder with her own initial. She'll be thanking you for it!

4. "The Thing About Life" Box Sign ($14) -- Inspiration!  Transitioning from the comforts of going to class and goofing off to having to be a real adult can be difficult. Give her this sign so that she can stay motivated and work her butt off! Imagine it on her dresser at home so that when she's getting ready for a big interview you'll be the one to tahnk for her big boost of confidence!

5. Class of 2015 Champagne Glass ($14) -- Everyone loves champagne (if you don't then you've had a cheap imitation). How adorable is this graduation champagne flute? The grad cap has "Class of 2015" in a mosaic on top to give it extra flare. She can use this to toast at all the grad parties she'll be heading to later on! Or I mean she can be like me and just pour herself a glass of prosecco and re-watch Gossip Girl for the fifth time...


I am beyond excited to graduate! In less than two weeks I will be walking the stage to collect my diploma! The years have flown by and am going to cry once reality kicks in that I won't be able to see my friends everyday. Cheers to the rest of our lives!
