This dragonfly dish would make a sweet gift. When I googled the symbolism of the dragonfly, here's what came up... if it's on Wikipedia it must be true, right? Can't think of a more fitting symbol for graduation, congrats to all the grads!
The meaning of a dragonfly changes with each culture. The main symbolisms of the dragonfly are renewal, positive force and the power of life in general. Dragonflies can also be a symbol of the sense of self that comes with maturity. Also, as a creature of the wind, the dragonfly frequently represents change. And as a dragonfly lives a short life, it knows it must live its life to the fullest with the short time it has - which is a lesson for all of us.
