What is an appropriate graduation gift?

I have a niece and nephew graduating this week. They both send me an invitation. I want to give them both something but I'm not sure what. Is it okay to give money? I'm new at this.

money is fine, just pick a laugh-out-loud card to go with it. Shows you put some thought into it and makes it more personal.

unicorn59	Posted Jun 2nd, 2009 at 11:34AM I'd give cash, or a gift card to their favorite clothing store (old navy, dillards, hollister's).....but, put it in one of those cards, that you can record your voice on it, then it plays a song....it's very personal, since money generally isn't.

halcyondaysofillu sion	Posted Jun 2nd, 2009 at 10:50AM The theme du jour is "stuff they will find useful in the chapter of life about to start." So...an iPod is always a good choice, as is a nice stack of dollar bills or (even better) a gift card. I'd go with a gift card to a store you think they'll like, but that they haven't been to yet that you know of, and that sells things relevant to where they're heading now. Rated: +1Vote for this!
