I also think that's very generous for a child's friend.

Maybe we just travel in different social circles, you know?

What are your social circles?


Lol, I have no idea how to answer that. I guess my social circle is one that goes big for gifts related to important milestones. Give what you're comfortable with. Gifts should make both the giver and receiver happy.

OP here. Calm down ladies, it's just a question that I and many others are wondering the answer to this time of year. No need for nastiness, please.
I like the towel idea, plus a gift card.

When I graduated from HS I got a monogrammed towel in my college colors. A friend's mom did this for all of us. I loved it.
You could do that and $100.

I'd spend about $75. Probably just give cash.

College grad? Probably about $500. For a girl, some nice, grownup jewelry.http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/sterling-silver-necklace-sapphire-oval-pendant-1-1-6-ct-tw?ID=694302&CategoryID=9569&LinkType=#fn=GENDER%3DFemale%26sp%3D9%26spc%3D2646

For a college grad that's a boy, maybe a watch.


I have 5 HS graduations this year. I'm doing $100 each. I just can't swing $200.

How much would you spend for a grad gift for your DC's best friends? What would you give? Everyone's having parties, so we would give the gift then.
