Graduation gift ideas

[Anonymous]

We have been invited to 15-20 graduation parties this year as my DD is graduating. What are some ideas for gifts young women headed off to college would want?

They want cards and cash.

Gift cards - Sephora, Target, an eatery near their new school, iTunes/Apple, UberEats or Grubhub, etc.

Ok - is cash acceptable? Like a new $100 bill in a graduation card is ok?

Absolutely!

For kids we are very close to (like nieces/nephews, or the kids of our best friends), we get them a monogrammed Away suitcase.

This would annoy me. I know you have good intentions but lots of people already have good luggage that they have specifically chosen. I don’t like away suitcase. I have a brand I prefer and spend money on it. Giving a suitcase that is monogrammed means you cannot give it away or return it. Give them something they want. Not what you would have wanted. That is a Homer Simpson bowling ball gift. Sorry.

My neice is graduating and she wouldn’t want anything that’s meant to be personalized but not really from her own choosing. She, like many her age, wants hard cash!
