For a lot of people, college means living away from home- and this can be pretty tough whether your 2 or 20 hours away. To ease the transition, it is always helpful to have a reminder of home and a way to connect with friends and family. 

So one of my best friends and I made this set of grad gifts to give to our two closest friends last year. I recently found the pictures on my phone and thought it would make a perfect addition to my Grad Gifts series!

Take a look below to see what we included!

Every freshman heading off to college needs a survival kit and a lot of people agree. Just check Pinterest- the examples are endless.

Well, I decided to take this trend and make it my own. Not only did I craft a few pieces, I also included some ~weird items and added gift tags to them. It's the perfect way to personalize (and tease your graduating friend)!

​See below for a complete list of what I included and the tags I labelled them with!

With summer officially in full swing that could only mean one thing- graduations (and grad parties)! And like me, I know that there are many college students who have high school friends graduating. So I'll be sharing some grad gift ideas in this new mini-series.

I hope that these posts will inspire you to create something personal and unique that you're graduating friend will appreciate (while making sure that you don't spend a pretty penny).

Let's get started!
