Graduation is a huge part of any student\u2019s life. From a kindergartener completing their first step of academia to a college grad celebrating their last, graduating is a significant event that deserves recognition.<\/p>\n

Sometimes it can be difficult to express how proud one is when a loved one walks across a graduation stage. Flowers and cards are heartfelt gifts but lack a more personal touch, and while photos can capture the significant moment of graduation<\/a>, they may be less exciting to give or receive.<\/p>\n

Think outside of the box and encapsulate the moment of graduation — from a graduate dressed up in their cap and gown to a child with a certificate for graduating middle school — with a Selfie Plushie.<\/p>\n

One mom, Karol Kemper, decided to get creative and give a Selfie for her daughter’s graduation and was thrilled by the result:<\/p>\n

\u201cOur daughter was graduating … and I thought a selfie graduation Budsie would be perfect, unique and one of a kind. So many parents had only flowers for their graduates, but we were the only parents with a Budsie of our Graduate!\u201d Karol said.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Our daughter] was thrilled to see her look alike Budsie,\u201d Karol continued. \u201cIt was a hit with all our guests and all of our daughter\u2019s friends. Everyone wanted to know where we got it. Thanks again, it was such a personal touch for her special day!\u201d<\/p>\n

Other parents and loved ones had a similar idea \u2013 giving their graduate of all ages a plush trophy signifying their accomplishments.<\/p>\n

A graduation Selfie is not just for college grads either — a kindergarten graduate will be the envy of their peers when they share the stage with a plush likeness of themselves!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A Unique Gift Idea<\/h2>\n

A creative way to further personalize your graduation Selfie for your child or friend is to depict your graduate in the outfit of his or her future job. A grade-schooler who wants to be a veterinarian? Give them a Selfie that shows them rocking scrubs and a stethoscope.<\/p>\n

Maybe your college grad is headed off to law school. He will have an extra boost of confidence when he sees his plush Selfie dressed in a suit and tie, ready for the courtroom!<\/p>\n

Or your child may be set on taking over Batman\u2019s job when they grow up\u2026 let them live their dreams and give them a Selfie of them dressed as their favorite superhero!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
