Meaningful Graduation Gifts: Custom Ornaments They’ll Treasure
There’s something about spring that always feels a little nostalgic. The year winds down, and suddenly the calendar is full of “lasts”—the last concert, the last locker clean-out, the last walk to school with your not-so-little one.
Graduation is one of those milestones that hits you in the heart. Whether you’ve got a kindergartener in a paper cap or a college grad about to cross the stage, it’s a big moment. And I’ve found that the simplest keepsakes are often the most meaningful.
My Bestselling Tassel Ornament
This one’s close to my heart. Our clear graduation ornament is designed to hold your grad’s real tassel—and trust me, that tassel packs a lot of emotion. It’s personalized with their name, school colors, and graduation year, making it a one-of-a-kind keepsake you’ll be proud to hang on the tree year after year.
From middle school to high school seniors to college grads, customers love that it feels personal without being overly fussy. And for moms? It’s a tangible way to hold onto a fleeting moment (without breaking into tears every time you walk past it… although no promises).
Looking for a Little Sparkle?
If tassels aren’t your thing—or maybe you want something that shines a little brighter—I've got a glittered version too. These are fully customized with your grad’s name and school colors, from the glitter inside to the ribbon on top.
They're especially great for younger grads (hello, kindergarten promotion!) or anyone who loves a little extra dazzle. I even have a "Mastered It!" version for those celebrating a master’s degree—because yes, that deserves its own ornament too.
Confetti & Classic Wood Options
For something playful, our confetti ornaments bring a pop of celebration with metallic school-colored confetti that dances inside the ornament. It still includes their name, colors, and graduation year, but with a party vibe.
And if you prefer something natural and timeless, the engraved wood ornament is a beautiful, understated option. It’s lightweight, personalized, and adds a touch of rustic charm to any tree.
No matter which style you choose, each one is designed to help you mark this season of proud tears and big hugs. Because as much as we cheer them on to their next step, there’s a part of us that wants to hold onto who they are right now—tassel, glitter, confetti and all.
