You probably know someone who's graduating this year. Although it might look a little different in 2021, it is still a time for celebration!
My oldest graduated last year, and we spent a lot of time at grad parties for his friends. Not only did my son get some super creative gifts, but I got some super creative ideas for my own grad gift list!
I've spent two years scouring the internet and putting my own spin on some great ideas.
