For the person who made it all worth it

The 2 AM study sessions, the pregames, the talks that kept you sane. Turn your time together into a mixtape they'll never forget.

Why a mixtape for graduation?

More than a playlist

Each song comes with the story behind it — the road trip, the dorm room breakdown, the night you'll never talk about (but always laugh about).

Photos & memories

Add the photos you'd never post but can't delete. They'll relive every moment with every track.

Says what a card can't

You've been through it together. A gift card can't capture that. This is your friendship — set to a soundtrack.

They'll come back to it

Years from now, on a random Tuesday, they'll open this mixtape and feel like they're right back with you. It only gets better with time.

Three simple steps

01. Pick your songs

Choose the songs that were yours — the pregame anthem, the crying-in-the-car song, the one that always came on at the right time.

02. Tell the stories

Write why each song matters. Add the photos, the screenshots, the memories only you two understand.

03. Send it at graduation

Share a beautiful link when it hits them that it's really over. They'll laugh, they'll cry, they'll love you even more.

"I made one for my big before she graduated and she completely lost it. She kept saying 'how do you even remember that?' Best gift I've ever given — and I'm a broke college student."
— Mia T., Little-to-big gift, 2024

You're not ready to say goodbye. So don't.

Common questions

What is a good graduation gift for a college friend?
A personalized graduation mixtape is one of the most memorable gifts you can give. You pick the songs from your time together — the pregame anthem, the one that always played at the right moment — and write the stories behind them. It's free to make and means more than anything you'd buy.

Is a mixtape a good gift for a sorority big or little?
