zaichiki Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I have a cousin graduating from high school. Not sure about her plans for the fall. What are your favorite gift ideas for high school graduation? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK_Mom4 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Stuff that helps out in life - whether you are going to college or not. A nice multi-tool (think Leatherman). A basic tool kit in a nice box with a good latch - screwdrivers, nails, picture hanging stuff, a wrench.... I've seen these at Walmart for less than $15 A simple cook book. I still have the Better Homes and Gardens one that my mom gave me when I went off to college.

GWOB Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Cash. I give every graduate cash. They are just starting their adult lives. Many are going off to college. They need cash for books, food, whatever. I know it's impersonal, but my sisters were so very happy when I gave them cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giraffe Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Gift card to somewhere like Target and if I really love them a gold bracelet. The bracelet is a tradition in my husband's home country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southcarolinamom Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Cash. Most high schoolers are saving their graduation money toward a laptop these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momofkhm Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 We give cash as well. The amount depends on how well we know them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom0012 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 $$$$. I think that's what most graduates appreciate the most. Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalanamak Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I took the advice here and gave two Target cards for 20.11 each. I even got a nice thank you note. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caroline Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I give Visa gift cards because they can be used online. It does cost about $5 on top of the gift card amount, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
