Is anyone else just completely floored that elementary/middle school graduations are now actual, multi-camera, confetti-blast EVENTS? I swear, when I left primary school, my “graduation” was basically a cupcake, a handshake, and a reminder not to eat glue at the next level. Times have changed, folks. But honestly, seeing my kid beaming in that little cap and gown? Melted my heart into a puddle. 🥹
If you’re stuck on how to celebrate your epic achiever’s big leap forward, here are some gift ideas that *really* hit the mark (and won’t just gather dust on a shelf). These are all Amazon finds, because—let’s face it—I get lost in malls and I trust that little brown box more than my own car keys.
