Graduation Day Boutique Box

The coronavirus pandemic has been difficult on everyone for different reasons. But one of the groups that this has affected really breaks my heart…that group is the graduates. For high school graduates, it means having missed the senior prom; the final sporting games; the roles in the school plays; the signing of yearbooks and the voting for the “most likely’s.” These are treasured memories for many of us and they’re memories many kids didn’t get to make. Walking across the stage to get their diplomas has been postponed at the very least, if not cancelled. Now, many of these young people aren’t able to socialize with their friends and may not see them before they leave for college in the fall. My niece is one of these seniors.But it isn’t just the high school seniors, it’s the college graduates and those getting their JD’s, their Masters, their PHD’s, and every other degree associated with higher learning. These are hard earned degrees and they deserve fanfare. Many of these graduates had internships, summer programs, and new jobs they were headed towards. All of these have been put on hold.We wanted to make sure we created a Boutique Box for these graduates. I wanted to make sure that we created a box I knew my niece would love. We did just that. I wanted to send her a great present that said, “I am so proud of you!” When she leaves for college, I hope she’ll carry this bag, throw her new brush and hair ties in it, put on her bracelets, and feel like she’s ready to face new adventures. Each time she grabs it to head out the door, I hope she’ll pick it up and know how proud I am of her and how much I love her.If you know a graduate or have one of your own, we hope this Boutique Box helps you tell that special person, “I’m so proud of you.”
