Graduation Gift

I had a high-school graduation party to go to over the weekend.  It was a special one for me.  I started baby-sitting this young man about 15 years ago.  Fast-forward a few years and he is now my nephew!  My husband is the youngest in his family (by a lot!) so I inherited 12 nieces and nephews when we got married.

Anyways, I wanted to do something fun for a gift for him.  Something more than just a card with a check in it.  So I spent some quality time with Pinterest and found this idea from Do It and How.  I couldn’t find all the candy that they used so I improvised!  I took a trip to Target and purchased a large glass jar for cheap and some yummy treats!
A graduation gift isn’t complete without some cash, though.  I started with that on the bottom.

Then I put all the candy in!  I made sure that the different bars and boxes fit in the jar before I left the store.  The cashier probably thought I was crazy.  I didn’t do anything fancy, just shoved it all in!

 Then I made my own twist on the poem, with some help from Melonheadz and Kelly B. decorations.  His high school colors were green and yellow so I just added some card stock to the back.  I also put our names on the back as well.

Finally, I added some ribbon and ta-da!  Graduation gift is complete.
