Grad school gifts? Wow. I thought these stopped at HS graduation when kids become adults. Cartier watch. Wow. At this point you’re n the hook to put a down payment on a house for her.


I still have the briefcase my now wife bought me for law school graduation. It seemed like a standard gift at the time.

Yep this. Very classy.


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


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


She's getting an MBA and travels in circles where a Cartier is an acceptable gift for a BA from a godparent. I'm guessing she will be making far more than 50k unless she's working for a non-profit or in publishing while living off of mom and dad.

No they don’t. This is very common for wealthy young people.


You mean young people who want everyone to know that their family has money.

Agree with diamond studs. Go to Boone and Sons and let them know what you want and your budget. She’ll have them forever.

Really? This feels pretty tame. No one has mentioned Hermes, yet. LOL.

+2, I would have loved this as a law school graduation present in my mid-late 20s.


+3. Maybe Blue Nile for best value? IDK. But not Tiffany.

How would I go about buying $2500 diamond studs? Is $2,500 enough for this? Literally, where to look, what to expect, etc. Thank you!


Try your local jeweler.
