You may even be surprised to find a few items that you’ll need for yourself. Follow along below for some trendy and fun gift ideas:
Handmade Card
Give your sentiment some extra personalization by creating a card yourself with Beacon Multi-Grip! In terms of supplies, all you’ll need is a faux flower hair barrette, Beacon Multi-Grip and a blank greeting card. Follow the steps below to learn how to make this one yourself:
Step 1: Remove barrette hair clip from flower; the clip in on this piece slid right off.
Step 2: Lay the flower flat on the card to determine placement.
Step 3: Apply Multi-Grip to the back of the flower and then press the flower onto the card (glue side of flower facing down). Hold with light force for about 20 seconds.
Step 4: Apply Multi-Grip to the back of the individual petals as needed; hold down for about 10 seconds for each petal.
Cookies
Is the recipient of your gift basket a real foodie? Cookies are sure to make a bold statement in any basket. How adorable are these summer themed ones from Sugar Butter Love? They’re almost too pretty to eat!
Basket
You’ll need something to put all of these fun goodies in, so we chose to go with this one from Mango and Main! Every product sold at Mango and Main is handcrafted by artisans around the globe!
Jute Tote and Phone Case
A sturdy and durable tote bag is the perfect summer and graduation gift! Your recent grad can use this tote to carry around all of their essentials and look stylish while doing so. It’s also perfect for a vacay! We love this one from Sprinkled With Pink because you can personalize it! Along with the tote bag, upgrade your friend or loved one’s current phone case with a personalized monogram one from Sprinkled With Pink! About a million different things we each do in a day involves our phone, so why not have a cute phone case?!
Succulent
Plants symbolize growth, which make them the perfect gift for any recent grad! We love the variety of succulents from Lula’s Garden. They’re super chic and last for so long!
Sunshine Hat
Whether you’re lounging on the beach, exploring a new travel destination or poolside in your own backyard, cute sun hats are a stylish summer look! Don’t forget to snap a selfie!
Some other ideas to put in your basket are earrings, sunglasses, sunscreen, scrunchies, a tumbler, beach towel… the possibilities are endless!
