[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I gave $100 to children of close friends.
When there are a lot of "pop in" parties going on at the same time, something more like a $25 gift card.

Some people give the amount of the graduation year to be cute, so $26.

My 2 songs received a lot of Amazon, DoorDash, & Visa gift cards in envelopes.

I cannot imagine spending $60,000 to send my kid to private school and then showing up to a graduation party with a $25 gift card. That won't even cover a meal at chipolte these days. I think you can get by with $100, but even that feels low to me these days. I guess it depends on the party too. Catered party with bartender and good wine = more than a backyard BBQ. [/quote]
I wonder if pp was really talking about gifts from the graduate's student friends. It seems pretty common to me that graduates (or younger students) are giving each other gifts cards or cash in the $25 range. As an adult, I would give $50-$100 to the children of my adult friends depending on the closeness of the relationship. I wouldn't give anything to my kid's graduating friends if I wasn't actually going to the party; that's my kid's responsibility.[/quote]
