The Ultimate Guide to Grad Gifts for Your Girls
Until you can give them the world, they will have to settle for a town! Here are some little grad gift ideas that leave a big impression.
It seems like just yesterday your older college girl friends were taking you under their wings and teaching you all you needed to know in order to be a professional university student.
Flash forward to today: you’re finally sending them off to fly onto their next life adventure!
If you have had an experience similar to mine then you have found some amazing women who have shaped you into the person you are today. They have seen you at your worst and your best, and no matter what, they’ve never stopped being your loving older sisters.
I owe these amazing women the world. But, until I become a world-famous, millionaire, jet-setting journalist they will have to settle for a town instead!
It’s not about what you get, but what it means! Here are little gift ideas that give your girls a big piece of your heart:

A Personalized Photo Album
What better way to keep memories alive than by pixelizing them? Photo albums (like this pretty patterned one) personalized with pictures you choose will always remind your friends how much your time together meant to you! Plus, in the age of Instagram, it’s so nice to gift someone an old-school physical photo album.

Concert or Event Tickets
Take her to a concert or event she has been dying to go to! This is a gift that she will always remember (and maybe you can put some of the photos you take in the photo album above — that’d be a great combo gift).
