Graduation Gifts

With graduation coming up, I've been getting a lot of questions from my loved ones (mainly my mom and grandma) about what I want for a grad gift. In my opinion, the most meaningful gift to get someone that isn't handmade (because what's sweeter and more heart-wrenching than a beautiful (scrap)book of your 18 years so far?) is jewelry. I've had the same necklace around my neck since I got it as a Bat Mitzvah present 5 years ago. For graduation, my mom's buying me a necklace to replace the one I have, signifying a new era of my life. All jewelry is beautiful and thoughtful, but to help you out, here's a little guide from me! Send this to your present-buyers:)
