Congrats, 2020 grads! Graduating is a huge deal, and although you made it happen, chances are that a few people in your life helped along the way.

Whether it was a friend who studied with you in the library, a professor who pushed you to apply for that scholarship, or a parent who supported you financially or emotionally, there are a lot of people to thank at graduation.

While seeing you snag that degree and accomplish your goals is a gift in itself, you might want to give those cheerleaders a small token of your appreciation – especially since so many in-person commencements and ceremonies have been canceled or postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

There are plenty of budget-friendly and thoughtful thank-you gifts for moms and dads, grandparents, aunt and uncles, and everyone in between. Gift them a nicely framed photo of you in your cap and gown or a photo book featuring all of your favorite memories from college. For something less sentimental, you can send them some sweet treats or a little succulent plant as a small thanks.

If you’re on the lookout for the perfect graduation thank-you gift, we’ve rounded up a few gifts for the family and friends that helped get you there.
