Having a BFF is like having multiple people in one: a supportive sister, a protective mother, a trustworthy confidant, and even a harsh critic if needed. As they say, the family you keep doesn’t have to be the one you were born in but rather the circle you choose. If you have found a friend worth keeping, you are definitely one of the lucky ones.
With a friendship like that come milestones, including one of the biggest ones in life: university graduation. If you and your BFF have conquered college together and are now ready to take on the real world, why not get her a graduation present she will no doubt adore? Graduation gift ideas abound, but if you need more inspiration, you’re in the right place. These graduation gift ideas aren’t only well-thought-out but can also be conveniently bought in malls! Check them out.

Gone are the days when donning a backpack every day for all occasions was deemed acceptable.
