I have a 2020 grad so we are buying a lot of gifts. For her school friends, we are giving a book, something monogrammed, and two $20 bills - $20 $20 😁

For people you don’t know well, I think you could absolutely do one or two $20 bills.

My elderly neighbor randomly mailed us a $10 bill for DD’s graduation. We aren’t having a party right now

I would send an invoice for $100 for an hour of my time. That's a discounted amount from my normal billing rate which is $550.

$20$20 is perfect! Or go in with some of the neighbors for a more substantial gift card if someone is willing to take the trouble. These kids better acknowledge all gifts in writing since their parents are soliciting them. Hate when 18 year olds don't know enough to write proper thank you notes. Gave $500 to my nephew about 3 years ago and got a card with his name scribbled and addressed by his mother.
