How to celebrate exam results whatever the outcome
Exams are over, and the results are in! Whether your teen is jumping for joy or feeling a bit deflated, it's time to celebrate their hard work and resilience. After all, just getting through exam season deserves a round of applause! So, let's dive into some fun and thoughtful ways to mark this milestone, no matter what those result letters say!
1. The Big Reveal Party
Turn results day into a celebration of effort, not just outcomes. Decorate the house with balloons and streamers, prepare their favourite breakfast, and make opening that envelope a family event. Our mini "Proud of You" TreatBox is perfect for starting the day right - with sweet treats that say "we're proud of you" louder than any grade ever could!
2. FREEDOM FEST
Exams are done, and summer is here! Plan a day of pure, unadulterated fun. Whether it's a trip to the beach, a day at the theme park, or a movie marathon in your PJs, let your teen choose how to celebrate their newfound freedom. Our summer-themed TreatBoxes are bursting with Summer vibes and treats to kick off their well-deserved break in style.
3. FUTURE PLANNING PIZZA PARTY
If the results weren't quite what they hoped for, turn it into a positive planning session. Order in their favourite pizza, break out the vision board kit, and brainstorm exciting next steps together. After all, every setback is a setup for a comeback!
4. CELEBRATE EVERY OUTCOME
Celebrate the support network that got them through exams. Host a little thank-you party for friends & family who cheered them on. Even more important if they’re headed off to different colleges or unis! Set up a photobooth and a memory wall to celebrate the journey they’ve had so far, and let them make new memories together with a little help from the best parent ever. After all, who doesn’t love a party!
5. SELF-CARE SUNDAY
After the stress of exams and results, a day of relaxation is not just in order, it’s essential! Set up a home spa with face masks, nail polish, and a queue up a chill playlist on Spotify. Our Top to Toe Pamper TreatBox is packed with everything they need for a well deserved day of me-time.
6. NEW CHAPTER KICKOFF
Whether they're off to college, starting an apprenticeship, or taking a gap year, mark the start of this new chapter by taking a little trip down memory lane. Create a time capsule together, filling it with mementos from their school years and hopes for the future (we challenge parents not to cry while you’re doing this!). Pick from our sweet selection of notebooks and find them the perfect home for jotting down dreams and goals. This celestial Notes and Dreams notebook is one of our favourites!
Remember, as parents, the way we react to exam results can have a huge impact on our teens. By celebrating their effort and resilience - regardless of the grades they get on that piece of paper - we're teaching them life lessons they won’t soon forget about self-worth and perseverance.
So, whether it's straight A's (or is it 10s now?) or ‘room for improvement’, let's show our teens that we're proud of them, full stop. After all, they've just navigated one of the most stressful periods of their young lives - if that's not worthy of a TreatBox or two, what is?
Here's to the end of exams, the start of summer, and the amazing young adults our teens are becoming. Cheers to that! (this is where you pop the prosecco)
