I don't recall my parents giving anything to my best friend for graduation. Their parents did not give me anything. Maybe times have changed?

Of course I'm also the kind of person who watches people's houses, takes in their mail, waters plants when they are gone and I don't want them to give me anything. I'm just grateful knowing they will also help me and we don't have to have money involved.

Not even best friend. Best friends brother.

I don’t think you should send a gift. Your daughter’s best friend? Sure. Her older brother? Seems excessive. If you insist, bring over a max $50 item gift.

I feel like any gift should come from your daughter, not from you. You have no connection to him. It doesn't sound like you are family friends.

She could pick out a little graduation related something for under $25 and give it to him.


Yeah, this relationship doesn't require a gift.

If he has a party, your DD gets invited, and is going, $20 cash along with a "Congratulations" card. Otherwise, $0.

This is a friend-of-a-friend situation. Like someone out of the blue sends you an announcement, it's $50.

For the children of dear friends or relatives it's the higher amount. For true strangers, it's "congrats kid"


No, someone out of the blue sends you an announcement, it's nothing. I mean, it can be something if you want it to be. But announcements are silly, and shaking down acquaintances is gross.
