What are your favorite college graduation gifts to give? I haven't bought a graduation gift for awhile and can barely remember what I received way back when. It's for a female undergrad, budget is ~$50-100.

Thanks!!

Love it! My nephew is graduating from high school this year, and I think it will be very well received. :thumbsup:

Money or a GC to Amazon, Bed, Bath & Beyond, or Target.

Lol, isn't that the truth! That's basically all kids want these days. I was shocked when we went to one of dh's co-worker's son's high school graduation party and basically there was a basket for ppl's GC/cash in cards as gifts. Basically, it was like it was assumed that ppl would give some sort of $ gift.

Money. Moreso than a wedding, even, graduation gifts are all about cash or gift cards.

I gave my older nephew a cool Dr. Who shirt last year when he graduated from high school but I knew he would like it. My nephew graduating this year is really into art and normally I give him a gift card to his local art supply store because I don't know what he has or needs. But I loved that card, so I decided to go that route this time. I think he'll appreciate the honesty.
