Graduation (High School) Gift?

[reckedracing]

I have a much younger cousin who is graduating high school this year.
Not especially close to them, but I'll still give them a card with cash.
What's the going rate for "doing the thing you should be doing anyway" these days?

I gave my recently graduating cousin 50. Hes got a job and a car already...

50 seems about right.

 

[dilbeckskate]

yup $50 cash is probably better than any gift to a young adult

Skip the party so you don't have to pay. Getting that "thank you" card with a senior picture isn't worth $50. lol

 

[BigJ]

Not close, $50.

I have a grad party for two of my wive's cousins soon. I'm giving them each $100 but I'm close with them.

$50 is about right

I agree. 50 should cover it or maybe a gift card to their favorite store or restaurant, and a graduation greeting card too.

Get them a mix tape cassette with one song. George Thorogood And The Destroyers - Get A Haircut (and Get a Real Job).

Probably because you didn't graduate.

Probably because you didn't graduate.

lol I did actually, I moved out at 17 and went to night school until finished while working at the tattoo shop and kroger overnight, I just didnt walk, but that was a funny jab
