Spring is moving along fast and furiously! I’ve already had several graduation gift orders make their way across my desk, which thrills me. For some reason, graduation gifts are among my favorites. I think it’s because I had such a blast in college and I can’t help but get excited for these young souls getting ready to embark on a life changing journey.
My first big order for the season is for a bunch of boat totes for a group of girls heading to some pretty great universities. I was given a list of names and schools and told to do whatever colors I saw fit.
Monogrammed Boat Totes


Go Dawgs! Or War Eagle! Red and black for UGA and orange with navy for Auburn.

A massive in state rivalry for these ladies…a Clemson Tiger and an SC Gamecock.

A surefire winner….TEAM PINK! This is always a good idea.

Not only are these great gifts for grads, but they’re also adorable for bridesmaids.
Another fabulous group gift, and at a better price point, is a clear vinyl bag. Emery and I use these for everything! Travel, purse organization, locker organization, soccer bag, basketball backpack, pool bag, etc. And don’t forget about bid day!

The fellas are tougher to shop for, especially when it comes to a group gift. However, I think I’ve got two winners here for you. This first item is brand new to my little shop! I couldn’t wait to stitch a sample for Bodie. I’m referring to these handsome waxed canvas valets! Every refined gentleman needs a catchall tray for his air pods, watch, change, etc. These are great for high school grads, college grads, dads, groomsmen, etc. Basically every man in your life could benefit from one of these.

Another option for the men in cap and gown is a personalized Dopp kit. I’ve shared these before and I still stand by them. The waxed canvas is ideal for dorm life and travel. The more distressed it becomes, the better it looks.
These are the latest Dopp kits I personalized. The thread can be any color. The Dopp kits are available in the brown pictured here and also in a cool slate gray.

These are the same price point as the valets and would also make great gifts for groomsmen. Take a gander here: https://emerybodie-llc.myshopify.com/products/waxed-canvas-dopp-kit
I hope this helps with your wedding and grad shopping lists. As always, please feel free to email me with any custom requests.
Have a great week!
