How about a “message bottle” as the perfect surprise gift for graduation? It’s a one-of-a-kind, memorable present filled with messages from everyone in the class.
Just get a lidded bottle from a 100-yen shop, etc., and fill it with treats and message cards—that’s it! It’s super easy to make, looks cute, and it’s sure to put a smile on everyone’s face.
You can decorate the bottle with markers, use photos as well as message cards, and get creative in all sorts of ways.
blackboard message
There’s chalkboard art that features eye-catching illustrations, but how about surprising your teacher not just with drawings, but with heartfelt messages? You could write messages to the teacher from each graduate in a signboard-style collage, or compose short essays about your memories with the teacher—both are highly recommended.
Reading such heartfelt messages is sure to bring tears to your teacher’s eyes! After writing the messages, be sure to take photos so you can look back on them later.
Handmade corsage
It’s common for graduating students to wear a flower on their chest, right? How about making those flowers—so strongly associated with graduates—yourselves and presenting them to the teachers? By wearing flowers on their chests just like the students, the teachers can really feel that special bond between teacher and student.
Choosing what kind of flower or corsage to make is important, too—aim for colors and a level of festiveness that match the atmosphere of the event.
A key point is to design them in a way that makes the teachers feel they were made just for them.
Mosaic art
Mosaic art originally refers to a technique of arranging fragments of stone or tiles to create patterns or images.
However, if you’re making a graduation gift for a teacher, it’s recommended to use photos taken at events like the sports festival or culture festival as the source material! From afar it looks like the teacher’s face, and up close you can see the smiling faces of classmates—what teacher wouldn’t be moved? The process of bringing photos together, discussing, and arranging them is also enjoyable, making it a wonderful memory for the students who create it.
Bath Bomb Set
How about giving a bath bomb as a gift, with the hope that she can relax and unwind? LUSH bath bombs, in particular, are a highly recommended item, hugely popular among women with a strong sense of beauty.
They come in a variety of scents, colors, and benefits.
They also offer cute gift wrapping, making them perfect for a female teacher.
“We’re sorry for all the trouble we’ve caused—after we graduate, please take your time and soak in a nice bath!” Your feelings for your teacher are sure to come through.

candy bouquet
This is a handmade bouquet using candy.
The materials are small balloons, artificial flowers, candy, wire, paper straws, and more.
Attach the balloons to paper straws, and add wire to the artificial flowers to serve as stems.
Wrap the candies—whose sticks have paper straws attached—with origami paper or cellophane.
Then simply bundle all the parts together and wrap them to finish! If you decorate it with photos taken in class, it will become an even more fitting bouquet for a graduation gift.
Puzzle-style keychain
Even after graduation, our bond is eternal.
With that sentiment in mind, why not make a puzzle-style keychain? Prepare a thin plastic sheet and sketch a puzzle design on it.
The sheet will shrink to about one quarter of its original size when heated, so be mindful of the size of your drawing.
Next, cut along the lines with scissors, write names or messages, add color, and then apply heat.
Finally, coat it with resin and cure it, and you’ll have a cute keychain with a charming, puffy finish.
