One of the greatest accomplishments anyone can achieve in life is earning a college degree. Not only is it a big deal for the grad, but it can be so emotional for friends and family, too!
This is something I got to experience yesterday. Back in March, I mentioned that I planned to give my grad a Church Hill Classics frame and the day finally arrived when we were able to attend his Dartmouth commencement and present the gift.
It’s hard to describe all the emotions I felt: pride, love, awe, and yes, even a little bit of sadness that he’s all grown up and now going off on his own—either to graduate school or possibly the Peace Corps! I am so amazed at how he has matured into a wonderful young man with such a giving spirit.
You can see from his big grin how excited he was to receive it and surprised, too.
I want him to remember this special day always and what better way than with a custom frame for his diploma. There are many frame companies out there, but Church Hill Classics is extraordinary. They help graduates preserve and showcase those hard-earned diplomas with officially licensed frames. With all of their diploma frames handcrafted in the USA, Church Hill Classics offers an extensive selection of custom frame styles for more than 1,500 colleges and universities. Shoppers can choose from frames featuring unique, color-enameled medallions of the school seal or athletic logo, beautiful campus images, foil embossing of the school name and/or seal and even an opening for a tassel. Customize your frame with different frame moulding and matting options to get exactly what you like. There’s something to meet everyone’s personal style! (Did I mention that the company’s founder is also a Dartmouth grad? Love that!)
After all of the time and money spent earning that degree, no diploma should end up in a drawer, forgotten about, or even destroyed (this can too easily happen, as a recent survey conducted by The Motherhood uncovered that 56 percent of respondents never framed their own diploma). In ten years, a grad may forget receiving cash or other gifts, but he or she will always enjoy their own custom frame.
Interested in ordering your own frame? Through July 13, Church Hill Classics is offering free shipping on any product. Use promo code HK55F at checkout.

That is a really nice frame. My step son just graduated from high school and I think he already lost his diploma LOL.
That’s a gorgeous frame. I think graduation certificates should always be framed. They’re a big accomplishment!
What a great gift that makes for grads! It is certainly a special way to frame their diplomas!
That is a beautiful frame. I know someone who is looking for anew frame. i will pass the word on.
What a gorgeous frame to give to a newly grad, that would certainly be put to use. Nice contest too.
That is a really great frame, it makes an amazing gift! I have to also say that the contest sounds super nice too.
Love this gorgeous frame, I think it makes the perfect gift for a graduate!
This is a great frame. I would love to gift one of these to somebody and would be just as happy to have received one.
What a nice frame. That would make a lovely gift. I don’t know any recent grads but I will keep this in mind! It’s super nice.
I’m a sucker for gorgeous frames! On that note, would you believe that I don’t even know where my diploma is??
Congrats to him! That frame would look awesome on my wall. I admire frames that are larger since I have tons of wall space.
This is such a great frame! I love how he gets to showcase his hard work. Congrats to him.
I’m sure he is one happy camper. I dread the day when I have to deal with the emotions you’re dealing with. This is such a great gift.
Congrats to him!
I love picture frames! This would be a great frame to keep all my husband’s certifications in.
This is a great idea for a gift. I love the frame. I have two kids in college and i am so proud of them.
Such a wonderful frame! I like that the diploma has a case and everyone can just take a peek at it.
That is a pretty frame. I always frame my kids’ grad certificates.
I love this frame, I never thought I would love one more than my own but this is dope.
What a great frame! I have never seen such double frames – but it looks so good! And congrats on the Diploma – that’s a big day!
This looks like a very nice frame. I never did frame my college diploma.
What a wonderful accomplishment and gift. CONGRATS!! I’ll be honest, I am not sure where my college degree is. I wish I had done something like this.
That is a really nice frame. I just have my associates degree in it’s original holder but I’d like to get it framed someday.
What a gorgeous frame. That truly makes the perfect gift! I loose everything, I can’t find my diploma.. If it was framed I’d definitely keep better track of it
Wow what a really nice frame! A College Degree definitely deserves to be displayed in the best of the best.
The frame looks so nice! I agree, a nice frame is a great way to celebrate a diploma.
Omg! What a fantastic graduation gift! I have two cousins graduating next week. This would be an awesome gift!
What a beautiful gift for your grad. I am sure he will cherish it forever and show it off with pride.
This sounds like a perfect gift for my son. He just graduated from High School. I think he would so love this frame for his diploma indeed. Thanks for sharing.
I need one for my diploma actually! I had no idea how I would hang it or display it.
