What do you give for HS graduation?
H and I received a graduation announcement from a girl I grew up babysitting. Our families are close-ish. My parents and her grandparents are best friends, so I have spent Thanksgiving with her a number of times because of them. My H has met her only a handful of times. How much do you typically give for high school graduation gifts for kids that have this level of closeness with you? To be honest, the last time I gave anybody a high school graduation gift, I was graduating from high school too.... so I really have no idea what's appropriate.
Side note: I completely forgot that she was graduating this year and left it out of my budget. H and I are going to try to make up for it next month.
TIA
Re: What do you give for HS graduation?
H's niece graduated last year and we gave her $75, they live across the country from us and you are actually probably as close to this girl as we are to his niece, but she is immediate family so we gave her more because of that.
My H also coaches high school baseball, so we've gotten quite a few graduation cards from players and families he has become close to. I started at $30 the first year when it was just one, but now that we get anywhere from 2-5 I just give them $20. Which I think is fair considering I don't know the kids at all.
Dh and I are trying to figure this out right now. I have over 30 first cousins and we go in waves for events. Like three weddings so far this year and only one graduation. But next year I think we have three or four graduations.

Agreed. Vera Bradley is huge here. I went to BU and most of my friends had those key ring card holders. Not me-I'll lose anything too small to loop over my shoulder. I think that or the Coach one would both be a wonderful gift! I might just check with her parents that she doesn't already have something similar.
