May is such a fun month of the year! It’s a time when you get to celebrate achievements and anticipate new beginnings! Along with celebrating these life milestones comes parties and of course gifts! And…. what’s the top gift requested by graduates? If you guessed gift cards, well you would be right! Gift cards are super handy for new graduates that are preparing for the next amazing chapter in their life journey.

So, as useful as gift cards are to any graduate they are not much fun to give! This is why I ALWAYS try to do something super cute and creative with every gift card that I give. Recently, I was gifting a gift card and thought how cute would a bumble bee crochet gift card holder be? Turns out, like one of the cutest gift card holders that I’ve ever made! So, are you ready to buzz right through this pattern and jazz up any boring gift card?
