Graduation gifts for senior club members and teammates: a roundup of crowd-pleasing presents (11–20)
commemorative watch
Let’s make a lovely, original commemorative clock that you can display at home or at work! Get a wooden box with a clear lid (like the kind sold at 100-yen shops) and a small clock that fits inside.
Prepare a piece of Styrofoam to match the box, and cut out a hole in the shape of the clock.
Place the clock into this cut-out section.
Then decorate freely—fill the surrounding space with flowers, add photos of your club members, or include mementos.
It’s also a great idea to add your school name, your name, or a slogan on the inside of the box or on the outer frame.
It’s a gift that feels like it’s always by your side, cheering you on, and just looking at it will give you strength.
Handmade album
Gifting a handmade album where you can enjoy the memorable photos you’ve taken so far is a highly recommended idea.
There are many types of handmade albums: for example, you can paste photos with handwritten messages in a scrapbook or ring-bound notebook, or create a “surprise” album with pop-up elements like a pop-up book.
Decide what kind of album to make based on your production time and the number of photos you want to include.
You can find plenty of tutorials and ideas for making surprise albums on YouTube and social media, so be sure to use a variety of resources for inspiration.
Uniform-style mascot
When it comes to club activities, a cool uniform is a must, right? How about giving a mascot inspired by that uniform to someone special who’s retiring from the club? Using easy-to-handle felt and simple stitching techniques, it’s approachable even for those who aren’t good at sewing.
First, cut the felt according to the pattern.
Next, add running stitches to the uniform body.
You can customize the stitching to match the type of uniform, and it would be lovely to add the recipient’s name or jersey number! Finally, fold the uniform body in half and use an overcast stitch to sew it up.
At this point, you can insert a cord or add stuffing to give it a plump, soft look!
Original can badge
How about creating original pin-back buttons you can attach to your bag and carry your memories with you anytime? Use designs that evoke your club activities, make a larger button and insert a photo, or craft a one-of-a-kind button while thinking of your upperclassmen.
You can easily make pin-back buttons with a button maker machine or a DIY kit from a 100-yen shop.
They’re easy to produce in quantity, so let’s all work together to make a variety of designs for everyone in the club!
towel bear
When giving a gift to someone who has helped you as they graduate, it’s nice to choose something they can display in their room for a long time.
That way, when it catches their eye, it can prompt them to look back on shared memories.
A towel bear with a cute appearance has a soft, gentle feel and won’t look out of place in a room.
Since you simply roll the towel into a cylinder, fold it, and shape it with rubber bands, it’s also easy to make—another plus.
You can give it as a mascot, and because it can be easily returned to its original towel form, it could be a fun way to present a towel as a gift.
desk calendar
How about giving a desk calendar that’s useful for both work and study? A store-bought one is fine, but making a handmade version with memorable photos or lovely drawings is also recommended.
When crafting it yourself, you can use calendar stickers sold at 100-yen shops for the date portion.
Lining it with photos of your juniors or shared memories will surely give your senior strength during tough times.
Celebrate the graduating senior’s new beginning with a heartfelt gift!

Initial key holder
Let’s give your cherished friends and mentors a one-of-a-kind initial keychain! You can easily try this since resin, molds, and UV lights are available even at 100-yen shops.
Pour clear resin into the mold and spread it while popping bubbles with a toothpick or an embossing heater.
If bubbles remain, they’ll stand out in the final piece, so it’s best to eliminate as many as possible.
Adding your favorite colored resin to create a gradient looks really cute.
After pouring the colored resin, the key tip is to add clear resin before curing.
The way the colors bleed creates a beautiful tone.
Once it’s cured, attach the hardware and you’re done.
