6 Awesome Gifts for Completing 6 Awesome Years!

My niece completed her 6th year of school this year, marking her move from Elementary School to Junior High. I'm so proud of her accomplishments and her great academic success thus far. I looked all over the Internet for a gift idea for an elementary graduation/promotion, but everything I found was too over the top for a 6th grade promotion and more fitting for high school. 

So as I was walking through my favorite store... Target, :) , it hit me!


6 Awesome Gifts for Completing 6 Awesome Years!


6 items I knew she would love:
Nail polish set, Just Dessert! Notepad,  The Journal of Awesome, Mini Color Pencils, Money, and her favorite candy - Skittles!

Turned the money into graduation scrolls...

Found the cutest "Giant Mason Jar" 
(also from Target)
and decorated it with graduation stickers...

Stuffed all the goodies inside with 
colorful tissue paper...

... and added a construction paper 
graduation cap to finish it off!

At her party last night she told me she wasn't going to open it until the end, so she could "save the best for last!" (Yeah, she melts my heart) :)
