Editor's Picks: Gifts For Your 2020 Grad Besties
2020 has already screwed everything up. Vacations, hanging out with your girls, and graduations have all been cancelled. But I’ll be damned if I don’t celebrate my bestie’s accomplishments for kicking ass and taking names these past four years of school!
If your besties are like mine, they have worked so hard to get to the finish line only for it to be ruined by corona. And I will not be having that. So, in this uncertain time, I will be doing what I do best: sending my girls some gifts to celebrate them. If you’re in need of some ideas for the friend who loves homemade gifts or the friend who adores the finer things in life.

DIY Adulting Survival Kit
If you have graduated but your besties have not, then prepare them for adulthood with a fun survival kit!

Their Commencement Speech
The one thing your best friends will miss out on is their commencement speech at their now cancelled graduation.

Write about all of their high and hilarious low college moments and let them know how proud you are of them.

Walk Down Memory Lane Video
My best friend actually did this for me and my friends when we all graduated and it was a serious winner. She had gathered all of the photos and videos we had from our camera rolls and Snapchat from the past four years, added music, and made a video. My friends and I laughed, sobbed, and reminisced as we watched the video. The best part is I still have this gift to look back on for the rest of my life.
