Re: HS Grad. Gift Help

I agree with everyone else, I would definitely send her a card and a check. It's easiest for you and I think that is what most graduates prefer anyway.

I had two granddaughters graduate from HS in June. All they really needed or wanted was cash. Visa gift cards have a fee, so I gave them each a check and they were happy. I may buy them something for their dorms when that is figured out. Send a check or a gift card and it will be perfect. If you do a gift card, do Amazon or Target. I am sure the young lady will love either.

Cash would be appreciated. Anything else is not likely to be put to good use. I write checks for graduation.

Money is never a bad idea, especially when you don't really know the person or have any kind of relationship with them.

Like giving a gift to a stranger.

Either $50 cash or $50 in Amazon gift cards.

I agree an Amazon gift card in the amount you feel you can afford.

Agree with a check. We had two gifts this year, one high school and one college. It was hard because we actually knew more high school graduates, but this one is special. We sent a check to both.

I went online to Visa site, ordered a card to be sent. The couple of $ was worth it. GD can use for whatever. No checks to cash, no trips to the bank, easy for all of us.

My initial thought was a gift card for reasons stated by others. Something else came to mind though - a book that would help her in life. An easy read and one that offers insights into herself and others is "It's Just My Nature" by Carol Tuttle. Another option would be Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People" or one of Gary Chapman's "The 5 Love Languages". You could also insert a bookmark with a check attached.

Hope that helps and it's nice of you to remember her and want to send something even though you don't know her well.
