Graduation Season
May–Jun · Q2
Graduation season rewards fast, personal, keepsake gifts — engraved tumblers, leather goods, and photo pieces with a name and class year. Orders cluster in a tight May–June window, so pre-built templates and stocked blanks matter more than usual.
Graduation Season is a dated, gift-driven window, which means demand is predictable and buyers are ready to pay for personalization. Proven sellers include tumblers, pens, memory boxes, leather journal covers. The lever is timing: have listings live and shipping cutoffs posted before the rush, not during it.
