Best Graduation Gift?

Hey again, Mike here.

My favorite niece is graduating from high school at the end of this week, and I want to get her a nice present. I was thinking about getting her one of these personalized college gifts. Probably a personalized desk box or something that she can take to college with her.

But if anyone else has any better ideas, please share them with me. I don't have much time left. :)

Thanks in advance.

Go to Hallmark. They had this really neat shadowbox frame I got my daughter, my neice and my nephew. It had a spot for their tassel, a 5x7 picture of them (I put their graduation announcement in it) and one of the name cards that goes in the graduation announcements. It cost around $30. Buy a card while you're there...





And throw a couple of benjamins in it. That's what any graduating senior really wants (and needs).

One semester of books in college will cost at least $400.00. She'll really appreciate your gift then.

I just graduated. Where are my Benjamins? If we meet for lunch tomorrow, you can just give them to me then.

Sorry. I just gave them out to my daughter, my niece and my nephew. Along with a really nice picture frame. The few I have left over are earmarked for the TWO I now have in college.

Besides, I already have a lunch date tomorrow with really some hot forumites. You are welcome to join us, however.

My sister gave me a frog charm and reminded me that I would need to kiss a lot of frogs before ever finding my prince.

I gave my Niece a car for her 16th birthday, she graduated this year and is turning 18. I think I might get her a nice fancy necklace or something like that.
