It sounds like you have everything you need for now, so maybe you could look to the future... retirement account perhaps?\n\nSounds boring, but if you start investing now, you will either have a lot of money when you retire, or you can retire early.  If I didn't need anything immediately right now, like a car or a tv or something for my house, knowing I could retire earlier would be nice.

I like to make a special gift. Why don't you try to make a big card or book with all students picture or impressive picture and warm wishes. It can be bring to the party and show for evryone in there.\nI am sure your professor will be very happy.\ngo ahead1

The best gift you can give a child is your time.

Yes, giving a gift is something for your boss to remember you for. You can be able to probably get a good reference letter in the future from your Boss.

Please refrain from buying any little knicknack with an apple, school desk, little book, blackboard, teaching poem etc. on it -  I work for a school system and too many of us get these from our students (some teachers have received hundreds of these little "teacher" gifts).  What about putting together a beautiful gift basket with bubble bath, lotion, bath gel, a candle, loofa and a pretty wine glass and a bottle of wine.  Put a thoughtful note  - something to the effect; "After a tough day teaching you deserve to relax and pamper" - "and after listening to small children whining and talking all day - have a little wine yourself".   I loved a similar gift I got from coworkers - and each time I took a long bath I remembered their kindness.

I think a chain is an appropriate gift. It's not too sentimental but reflects something that he probably would like to wear. Trust your intuition and buy it..

I always give restaurant gift cards to friends and family who are graduating.

What is he interested in?  The thought you put into the gift is much more important than the amount of money you spend.\n\nIs he getting ready to go through any upcoming life changes?  Graduating?  Moving out of the house?  Is there something fun and useful you could get him that relates to that life change?

cash is always good! For family members, I usually ask the mom or dad if they are  buying a large present -- like a camera or computer, and chip in. \n\nA nice photo frame is good - for their grad pictures and pictures of friends from high school --.\n\nIf they are going to university or college, see if you can order a t-shirt or hoodie from the place they will be attending.

It would be very difficult to buy something she will like, so money is the best gift.  She can put it to good use now, or save it for use at college.  In fact, a better gift might be a CD maturing in 6 to 18 months, in case she is like many teens who might tend to spend too fast.

Absolutely not!  It would imply that your graduate is just wanting a gift....you might just want to send an email stating that you wanted them to know that you child graduated and from where.......

I don't know what you consider in reason, but here are some top young men favorites-\n(if he likes book) a gift cert. to barnes&nobles\nIpod\nlaptop computer\npay for bartending college tuition (usually around $50, he can drink now, and its fun for him to know how to make drinks and the courses teach you drinking responsibility and the law. He'll just enjoy it)\nplayboy subscription (dont know what kind of person he is)\nGet a photo album together of his life and his family. kinda cheesy, but he may appreciate it and see in this difficult age of his life that his parent still loves him. use it as a coming of age where he can see his transition from child to friend of parent. oddly enough, most men need something like this to officially feel like an "adult" and they tend to make better decisions when they are shown things like this.

Get a card and maybe a gift certificate for a clothing store.  He will need to look nice where ever he goes whether he is going to continue his education or get a job.  Be sure to write a little something in the card to let him know how proud you are of him and sign it.  Good luck!

Going away to college was the best choice you could have made and the best gift ur parents can give u. Dorm room decor--target or walmart --get a whole matching set from sheets to garbage can to color pencils on ur desk --when ur room is set u feel comfortable. Upper classmen will at first throw shade but they get use to u and u get use to them some of them are great and they will put u under there wing quickly. that could be a gift and curse. on one hand you'll know all of there friends u'll never need a ride and cant get one, u'll know about all the parties but u wont be so in tune with your class and when they leave u'll be very lonely so make sure u know ur class better than u know the upperclass. College was the best time of my life, dont take it for granted, you'll do fine dont give up--good luck

Putting in a personal note would be great.  You can send them prior to graduation even if they aren't invited to the ceremony.  Your parents may want to host an open house, you should talk to them about that now to avoid any hurt feelings.  The personal note could say "Hey--I'm graduating with honors!  Whoo-hoo!  Celebrate with me on May 27th starting at 4 PM at Ma's house.  Help me start next year (at college/at technical school/starting my career/being a bum for awhile) off right!"
