If you gave her a Cartier watch for college graduation, what gift for MBA?

I got diamond studs when I graduated from law school. They're still my favorite earrings.

I would not assume that. I grew up upper middle class in a nyc suburb and did not have diamond studs until DH got them for me for an a gift when I was about 35. My parents would not have bought diamonds for me (pearls, yes, if I had wanted them which I never have, haha o the culture clash on that, although think it is also age related not just geography), and I do not buy myself expensive jewelry.

I think diamond studs or the Burberry trench are special gift ideas for a new grad who will be in a professional setting.

I was anti Chanel bag, but I take it back! The chain wallet is great idea. It isn’t as expensive and with not being a daily use bag (date nights, evenings out) that could easily last decades.

Ugh...I'd hate getting a chain wallet. And I'd feel bad that someone spent so much on an "everyone has it" item I wouldn't use.

Yep this. Very classy.

No..a 23-24 yr old with a large Chanel bag looks ridiculous

Also that would be about $7k or more with the recent price increases on Chanel

How do you know how old she is? And this piece is an investment. Will hold value, if not appreciate.

A $5000 purse for a 20something will give her huge eye rolls at her new 50k/yr job

Nonsense

There are really no knockoffs that can compare with the quality of a true Chanel. Have you even seen a real Chanel in person? Weird comment.

What?! No. Not true. I know very few people who wear diamond studs *now*, much less who had multiple pairs when in grad school.

And most regular people don’t own real Chanel bags beyond something tiny- maybe. They assume most are fakes especially if being carried by someone young in a median paying job

Your conclusion, based on a sample size of 1, is wildly inaccurate.

Again, a real Chanel does not look fake. And MBAs from well regarded schools generally don't start in "median paying" jobs. This is a stupid thing to say.

Most "regular" people don't wear Cartier watches, either. Or have MBAs. We aren't talking about the hoi polloi right now.

An MBA is nothing special. Many people have them and most aren’t making even 6 figures. Most people wouldn’t notice a Cartier watch- at all. But a Chanel bag isn’t exactly inconspicuous
