Are candy graduation leis a thing where you live? Candy leis have been popular here in Utah since before I was in high school and they’re such a fun way to celebrate accomplishments.

Earlier this year when Jay’s youngest daughter completed her soccer season, I was super excited to carry on a tradition from my own high school experience and put together some candy graduation leis together for her and her friends. Not only do they look great, but they provide a fun treat graduates can enjoy later.
