 |
|
| I have 3 graduations coming up in the next 2 weeks ~ my nephew, my niece and one of my best friend's son, who I have known since birth and is family as far as I'm concerned. What is the average amount of money or gift cards people give for high school graduations these days?I haven't been to a high school graduation since my youngest sister about 13 years ago. I don't want to be cheap to any of these kids, they are all special to me and I want to do the right thing. Thanks for the advice! |

| Thank you for asking this question. I have been troubled by this dilemma. For a high school graduation, I think that $100 is a bit much. I was considering somewhere between $25 and $50. It is complicated when there are many nieces and nephews in the next few years, to set a very high amount and then have to match this every time. |

| I just graduated from high school last year, and most of my aunts/uncles gave me $20-$50. It really depends on the relationship you have with them. Also, gifts can be great ideas too-something they can use for college or an apartment...towels, hamper, a cute sheet set, a roll of quarters and laundry essentials...any of these can be good. |

| I also think $100 is a bit much for a high school graduation but i guess it depends on your relationship with the graduate. I would say though that $25-50 is a more appropriate amount. |

| It really depends on your own circumstances. You don't want to get a loan if you don't have the money. If you can afford it, I would say $30 would be appropriate. |

| i wass just looking up the same question. So with looking at your question & reading a bunch of others, my research has led me to $50 is a perfect amount. It seems average, & I think its a great amount. After all they are just out of highschool, 18, $50 is a lot. I am going to my next door neighbors, who are great firends too, & I am choosing $50. I think it is a good amount, it wont break me, but anymore might, hee hee. So that is my answer to you, & that is what I am doing.hey did more research, still $50 is plenty, I feel, looks like many people even going w/ lower amounts. One suggestion was $20.07, ya know for the year 2007, kind of cute. If $50 too much, i think $25-30 is perfect, but i am going $50 cuz close. |
