Looking for a special gift for an outstanding grad? You don’t have to settle for a boring present that’ll end up buried somewhere in your alum’s closet. Give her something unique and delicious that she’ll devour in seconds and remember forever: cookies!
Here are three yummy alternatives to traditional graduation gifts for the star student in your life!
Traditional graduation gift: A bouquet of flowers
Alternative graduation gift: Cookie-Flower Cut-Out Cookie Box
What’s the first thing you hand to your grad after she marches down the aisle? Flowers, right? Well, imagine her surprise when you greet her with a box of cookies in the shape of flowers instead. In this fun twist on a typical graduation gift, Cheryl’s world-famous buttercream frosted cutout cookies are in full bloom. The two-dozen cookies are an irresistibly sweet way to say “Congrats!” for a job well done.
Traditional graduation gift: A greeting card
Alternative graduation gift: A cookie card
If you can’t make it to the graduation ceremony but still want to send your best wishes for a successful future, skip the conventional card and send your favorite grad a cookie card. A deliciously heartwarming message on her special day, and a rewarding future to look forward to...what more could a grad want?
Traditional graduation gift: Pop a bottle of Champagne
Alternative graduation gift: Cake pops
They just spent four, maybe five (perhaps even more...) years popping open cans and bottles. It's time they graduate from the hard stuff to the sweet stuff. These truffle cake pops really do take the cake. They're hand-made, hand-decorated by a small artisan bakery. The truffle cake center, crisp confectionary exterior of sweet icing are incredibly delicious. You'll get an A-plus for an A-list dessert that they’re certain to love!
