Graduation Gifts For The Graduate In Your Life

This post is part of the blogger program by Church Hill Classics and The Motherhood, who compensated me for my time. Opinions, experiences and photos shared here are my own, and I hope you enjoy them. #ad 

There’s nothing to make you realize how quickly time flies than having a child and watching them grow up. One day you are taking them to Kindergarten and crying in the parking lot because you had to leave them, and the next they are graduating from college. It really seems like they grow up over night.

When I say my son grew up…I mean he REALLY grew up! He’s 6 ft. 8 inches tall and solid muscle. Grant and his identical twin brother, Russell, are dedicated weight lifters and pump iron daily.

When he was little he and his brother begged for dirt bikes. After years (literally) of finding notes on our pillows and asking why Santa wouldn’t bring them what they really wanted….they got what they asked for and my nerves were never the same. (Grant on right, Russell on left)

The next photo is Grant at his high school graduation with his girlfriend, Christie. They have been together since 6th grade. She graduated and is now working on her master’s. Grant is graduating from college with a degree in Agriculture and has plans to farm with his brother. They already raise soy beans together and work on our blueberry farm.

Graduation season will be here before we know it, and it is an exciting and emotional time for students and families. It’s the payoff for years of hard work and sacrifice. As graduates move forward in life, they will look back on their college days with extreme pride (and so will their parents).

Graduation Gift Ideas

Did you know that 70% of graduates never frame their diploma?  After all that hard work it deserves to be given a place of honor on the wall. Grads and their families work so hard and invest so much into earning a diploma. After all of the time and money spent earning that degree, no diploma should end up in a drawer, forgotten about, or even destroyed! College diploma frames are the one gift that you can gift that will be remembered forever!

This our dog, Bella, she loves to pose for pictures so when my Church Hill Classics diploma frame arrived she snuggled right up in front of it. Purchasing a high-quality diploma frame as a graduation gift shows your graduates how proud you are of their success, and will remind them of the accomplishment they achieved.

I’m not sure but I think Bella thinks she is graduating. I opened the box up and she got off the couch, sniffed the box, then jumped right up next to the frame. My son is graduating from Western Kentucky University and Church Hill Classics made this beautiful custom made frame for him. The good news is they can make one for your graduate too, no matter where they are graduating from.

With all of their diploma frames handcrafted in the USA, Church Hill Classics offers an extensive selection of custom frame styles for more than 1,500 colleges and universities.

I love the detailed emblem with Western’s motto; The spirit makes the master.

I wanted you to see how beautiful the detail is on the frame. It really will make his diploma look wonderful and be a great keepsake.

Congratulations, Grant. We love you and are so proud of you! Happy Graduation to you!

Church Hill Classics  is a professional framing company that helps graduates and families preserve and showcase those hard-earned diplomas with officially licensed frames. After seeing the high quality work that goes into these frames I really believe they are the best college graduation gifts you can purchase.
