My SIL is graduating from HS this year. We're giving her a bigger present, but I was wandering what other bees like to give for high school graduation gifts. Or what was your favorite gift you received for HS graduation?
-
Cash? I mostly got cash and some random household items for college (dishes, towels, etc...).
-
I loved all the picture frames I got at high school graduation.
-
I didn't get a gift for graduating high school. When I asked my parents about it, they scolded me, "Why should we gift you something for something that you're supposed to do?"
How about a nice piece of jewellry?
-
I usually give gift cards to pizza or coffee places. Those were places I frequented in college.
-
My sister got me a cute package with things from the college I was going to, flip flops, a shot glass, some cute things for the dorm room,, handmade book of cocktail recipes, etc. You can also put in ramon noodles and some staple college food, or a My First Cookbook.

@Rubies: aww sad!
Books and journals are pretty common. Gift cards to target, ikea for college or else just cash.
-
The only thing I remember getting was a dorm fridge and I got cash from some people.
A nice piece of jewelry or a gift card to amazon or best buy I'm sure would be apprieciated. Or a nice bag for her laptop.
-
@Rubies: I don't think my parents gave me a gift either. But I can't complain.... they threw me a party where other people brought gifts, and they paid for my college.
-
Everyone loves cash or gift cards!
Does she have an Ipod? -
I liked the cash, and I used mine to buy a laptop. Does she have an ipod? Kindle? Gift cards to coffee shops and sub shops or even a gas card is nice.
-
I usually give cash (or check)...
-
@Rubies: my parents were the same way with hs and college. They told me ordinary achievements don't need extra recognition!
-
Pretty much everyone gave me cash for college graduation.
-
I think at the time cash was most appreciated. My mom bought my cousin a beautiful, simple Tiffany's necklace that she loved! I don't think it was more than $200.
-
My sister and I got laptops and stuff for the dorm.I usually give a visa gc.
-
Cash! I used mine to buy a laptop.
Another idea is a cool pair of pajamas! I would have loved to have a pair of PJs from Nick and Nora (at the time).
-
The best thing I got was money!
-
@Rubies: :(!!!!
I really liked getting cash. I wish I had spent it better but...it was a nice item to receive. I think a gift basket of things you'll need at college would be awesome, too. A shower bucket with a towel, shampoo, conditioner, shower shoes, hanging soap, etc.
-
I usually give a gift card to somewhere like The Container Store and a book like Michael J. Fox's "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Future".
-
MONEY!!!!!
-
I usually give money or gift cards, if it's someone close I will get them something for their apartment/dorm I know they will need!
-
Cash money, yo!
-
I really appreciated the cash that I got. It helped me buy books for school and put gas in my car.
-
My favorite gift were cash (of course) and a hooded sweatshirt from my new college. Also, someone who gave me $$ tucked it into a copy of Dr. Seuss' "Oh, The Places You'll Go" which I thought was a sweet touch.
-
Mostly cash. For my little sister and her friends, I made up gift baskets (in a shower caddy) that had a roll of quarters (for laundry), shower shoes, Tylenol, Easy Mac, a gift card to the book store at their college, and a Target gift card. There were probably a few other things in there, but it was 10 years ago, so I don't remember everything.
-
Cash is always nice! That way they can buy whatever they want. I also received a watch and a Tiffany's pen. I say go with cash!
