Seasider Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 without breaking the bank. I would love to hear any suggestions or creative ideas you can share. In past years we have given books but with this many kids my budget is $10 or less per. I would prefer to not give cash. Help me, please!

Susan C. Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 The year we knew a lot, I bought chocolates for each of them (and brought a cooler so they didn't melt during the ceremony). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-rap Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 One family I know always gives little travel-sized flashlights for graduation gifts. Every single one of my children has used them. It's just something we never think of getting ourselves, so when my kids suddenly need one, they have it! Even in a college dorm room, having a little flashlight next to your bed can come in handy. The little LED ones are nice: http://www.target.com/p/trademark-global-26-bulb-led-flashlight-silver/-/A-14062579#prodSlot=medium_1_1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evergreen State Sue Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 My son got a Road Atlas as a graduation gift from someone. He thought that was something that would come in handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
