The Perfect Gifts for Dads and Grads

The flowers are blooming, birds are chirping, and spring is on the cusp of turning into summer! It’s the season of grads and dads, two wonderful reasons to celebrate those we love.

Graduations start in May for most colleges and last through June for high schools. This provides a nice window of time where you can send graduation announcements and then throw your graduation party before summer officially begins.

Father’s day varies on its date each year, but it’s held on the third Sunday in June. It’s a perfect, sunny June day to celebrate outdoors at family BBQs, picnics, or doing one of Dad’s favorite hobbies together as a family such as hiking or ultimate frisbee.

You grads and dads deserve something extra special on their big day. Celebrate them with a custom photo product from one of Mixbook’s best sellers.

Surprise your graduate with a photo book of their college journey. The easiest way to collect photos is from their Facebook or Instagram. But don’t worry if they’ve hidden their social media life from you, Mom—you can use the photos you took on graduation day!

TIP: Create a photo book as your guest book for your graduation party. Encourage guests to leave inspirational notes and best wishes.

Father’s Day Photo Books

For Dad, create an album that will keep him smiling all year long. You probably have hundreds of family photos in your smart phone. Now’s the time to give them the love they deserve! Create a custom album featuring your favorite hero, Dad.

Include his inside jokes, silly selfies, or candid moments working on his passion projects around the house.
