Spring 2020 was not what we thought it would be. Due to the spread of the coronavirus, many plans, events and celebrations have been postponed or cancelled. State-mandated stay at home orders and quarantines have changed the way we engage with friends, family and loved ones every day.
Many of us will not be celebrating this year’s big occasions and events the way we historically have. But there is no reason we can’t still make these moments special, celebrating in new ways and letting our loved ones know how much we care about them.
With the advent of spring, one of the biggest occasions being skipped this year is graduations. High school seniors and degree-promised university students may be disappointed that their commencement ceremonies have been cancelled due to COVID-19, but we, at The Bradford Exchange, have some truly thoughtful ways to recognize your graduate’s hard work and accomplishment.
Given the current times, our graduates may not be able to proudly receive a well-earned diploma while walking across the stage in front of the entire cheering graduating class, but when they receive a gift from you and know you believe in them, it could possibly be the next best thing. Scroll down to see some of our top picks for graduates whose graduation could be made just as memorable, even though their ceremonies have been cancelled:
