Rarely is there a more stressful time than the first day of work. Be it a new job, new company, or a brand new field of work! Figuring out the right outfit, getting your space set up, and starting a new routine is of the utmost importance. Maybe more exciting than personally starting a new job is watching your bestie start theirs.
As a result of winter graduation being right around the corner, we are all looking for gifts to support our friends as they a new chapter. So, to inspire action, I curated a not-so-expensive but incredibly fun list of gifts to help brighten up their first days!
