| Our very good friends daughter is graduating. She’s like a niece. We want to give her a generous graduation gift but don’t have any reference for what that is these days. Is $300 cash or gift card enough? Not sure I’ve posted on the right forum so please direct me if I’m not in the right place. Thanks. |

$100 was standard when I graduated in 1993. Can’t imagine it still is now. |

I think I got $100 back in 2006, but its still a lot for them. |

If you go to a different forum you might end up giving her a $10 dollars gift card. Parents on TEEN/Preteens forum are cheap. |

It is enough, of course, but OP wants to give a generous gift to a good family friend. |

| Hi OP. My dear nephew just graduated from HS and we are giving him a $250 watch and $100 in cash, so $350 total. This is what I was planning to do in cash before he asked for the watch. |

| I think $100-200 is plenty |

I'd recommend cash (not a gift card).
I also think $300 is very generous. I'd expect cash gifts to max out at $250 unless from a parent or grandparent. |

| This is so regional/family specific. When I got married a few years ago the largest gift I got was $200. When I graduated high school it was $15 for 2015. Give what you are comfortable giving—but anything over $100 seems overboard to me. |

| Anything under $100 is cheap anything above $200 is generous |

| I have a senior. From what he’s received, $100 is standard, $150 is generous. $300 would be very generous. |
