$50 cash.
no cards, no gift visa, no bs. just 1, crisp $50 bill.
that way they can use it on books, clothes, computer, tuition, beer, or weed. (just joking about the last 2)
$100 is a lot, $20 is too little. $50 is perfect for cousins, niece, nephew, etc. it's on the giver's relationship.
this scale is based on which one you are in relationship to the grad.
parents, grandparents, aunts/uncles=$100+
cousins, nieces/nephews=$50
friend, co-worker, hooker=$20

If you want her to spend it on something useful, I say give her a $100 Gas Card or something...

thats setting the bar really high. like giving out king size candy bars at halloween.
if you want to fork over $100 every time some cousin makes their way through school, then by all means. but if you family is like mine, there are a shitload of cousins out there.. if you can afford it, go ahead. but if you are normal like me, $50. ^_^
edit: count all of your family members and get a rough total of how many kids are in high school, college, marriage age. then add it all up. decide now how much you are willing to spend. the number will get really big, really fast.

b16 prints counterfeits, so he can afford to drop 100 on a cousin.
50 bones in the card, and 50 bones to them on the sly
dont know about you guys but all my graduation money got tallied up under the watchful eyes of my mom (record keeping for thank you cards) and went in my bank account for college
a little something in their pocket will help them out with their graduation parties with their friends

F' it. Become the awesome uncle and aunt, set her up with 100 bucks cash, and if she does have a over bearing parents like recked had, slip the 100 to her, and 50 as some college type thing. Pretty sure next family reunion. Your going to be the awesome uncle that she'll always remember.
