[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are buying things for DC's dorm room.  [/quote]

Wouldn't you have bought that for the kid anyway? Doesn't seem like a good present to me. [/quote]

We are paying for college, that is gift enough.  He needs a computer, sheets, comforter, towels, shower bucket........... why not give it to him as presents.  We routinely give gift certificates to The Container Store to nieces and nephews. [/quote]
You don't see a difference between a gc to The Container Store for relatives and one for you own kids?  Okay.  [/quote]

He will be picking the stuff, if that is what you mean- including his computer. I just don't think any HS graduate needs a trip or other fancy present for graduating HS- unless that is the end.  Then I can see celebrating it more.  [/quote]

NP - isn't that like taking your wife to buy cooking pots for mother's day? "Pick any pot you want dear" won't go very well with my DW!  :)  [/quote]

Apples and oranges.  The parent child relationship is different that a spousal relationship.   When one is starting out, it is nice to get practical gifts.  Pots would also appropriate for a mom to give a son or a daughter.

How does college education= cooking pots?  I think paying for college and giving a few dorm room supplies is enough.
