Top 5 Graduation Gift Ideas from Collage.com

Disclosure: I have received a sample product or a discount code to use towards the purchase of making one. All opinions stated are genuine and my own.

Is anyone else amazed at how quickly the school year went by? Seems like it was just yesterday that we were in the mall shopping for school clothes to START the new school year. And now, here we are... It's graduation time and a lot of us have graduation parties to attend. Besides the most favored gift of a new grad ($), what else can we give the upcoming graduates to help them remember the big day? I want the graduates I know to remember that I value their accomplishments and them, so I have decided that in addition to cash, I will be giving them something personalized to remember this special time in their lives, and I will create it at Collage.com.

Top 5 Graduation Gift Ideas from Collage.com

1. Custom Pillow

A lot of graduates are leaving home, heading off to college dorm rooms, moving in with roommates to give adult-life a go, or going right into a place to call their own. Others are staying at home. Either way, a custom pillow of the family dog is a gift idea that will remind them of their youth journey. Children make a lot of good memories with their pets and seeing their picture can give them a sense of comfort, or remind them of home. 

This custom pillow from Collage.com can be personalized with any photo you like, including one of your graduate's pet. It can be made with Microsuede, Poplin, Linen or Sequin material and it comes in 4 different sizes. You can also choose the layout (how many pet pictures you want to include on the front). This pillow can be purchased with the insert, or you can buy just the cover.

2. Photo socks featuring Socks, the cat 

Speaking of family pets, and the role they play in grad's lives, you can commemorate some of their favorite pet memories on a pair of socks! As a teacher, I see so many kids wearing funky (in a cool way) socks. I'm sure it's a tradition they will carry on into young adulthood. This pair with photos of the family pet are sure to make your grad smile.

Made with a soft, flexible polyblend, these are also so comfortable will likely be reached for time and time again to wear. They fit women's feet from size 5 through men's feet size 12.

3. Sherpa Blanket with scenic photo of one's hometown

Of course, you can personalize these with a name and year, a name alone, a single photo, or multiple photos of anything you'd like, but if your graduate is moving far from home, they may appreciate a hometown scene on a comfy sherpa blanket. No matter how old you get, the hometown you grew up in is likely to always have a draw for you. I'm 51-years-old and I still get a comfortable, warm feeling when I visit or see pictures of my hometown.

Collage.com offers a variety of blanket types including the sherpa seen above, fleece, cozy fleece, and woven image. They come in a variety of sizes to suit your needs (baby, throw and queen) and they are durable so they can be washed. If adding photographs, you can choose one or as many as you like!

4. Little sister's artwork on a canvas print

Though you can put any photo, or photos that you would like on a canvas print, you can also choose something more personal. One of my closest friends is sending her child away to college this year, and in brainstorming the perfect gift to give her, thought that getting some of her favorite drawings on a canvas print would be ideal. I love that idea, but you could extend it out to family members too. Does your grad have someone in the family that they are particularly close to, such as a little sis? Maybe sis drew a pic of the grad? Why not have that artwork put onto a canvas that the graduate can take with them wherever they go?

The canvas options at Collage.com are plentiful. They come in 17 sizes (yes, 17!) and you can customize them with an easel back or a hanging hook. The soft matte surface with a no-glare finish and a fine-grained, museum-quality fade-resistant finish are important things to mention. In addition to that, the scratch-resistant clear coating adds extra attention to detail that you can't see but you will surely value.

5. Ceramic Photo Tile of the Highschool Besties Tribe

A ceramic photo tile is small enough to move around with your graduate, and special enough to be one of their most treasured items. Friends are one of the most important things your children will remember about high school. Why not create a tile for them that depicts them with their besties tribe? 

These are great for desks, countertops and shelves. They're easy to move and don't take up a lot of space. Each photo tile is 8" x 8" and comes with a premium metal easel that has non-slip rubber feet.

Of course these are but a few of the many, many items you can choose from on Collage.com to help your grad feel special on their big day.

We have ordered from them many times and have always been very happy with our photo design projects. Check out the link below and browse the high-quality, affordable selections they have made available to you.

💖Congratulations to this year's high school and college graduates!💖
