What do I get a girl for a high school grad gift?
She is graduating from a private Catholic HS. I asked her mother (my best friend) if she needed anything for dorm life, you know, like some liquor or a bong, but the mother hasn't emailed me back.

Any ideas? (She's in CA. Too bad I can't ship a tank of gas from TX).

1. A boy? Or, well, a girl?
Linens, maybe? Or gift cards from favorite restaurants?

2. If you don't know her at all, a small check is always nice
Or a gift card to someplace like Target or a bookstore.:hi:

4. I fix all my gift-giving like this....
I send a $25.00 gift certificate from Bed&Bath, Lowe's or Home Depot. Another smaller and good gift certificate which will be used by students, is a $10, $15. certificate to Kinkos.

I gave my friend's daughter cash and she bought a $25.00 bottle of wine for her boyfriend. She felt proud to tell me about it and her father was embarrassed. I never gave her anything again.

5. I'd go with the bong, in retrospect it would have saved me an easy $40

7. Money is always a good thing. Even a little bit. You could also get
her a gift card to say, a book store. That could come in handy. Or better yet, working on the gas idea...get her a gift card for gas. :hi:
