Some ideas/suggestions I've found while browsing thru CGA Parents site and from posts on here:

*Box of stationary/note cards and stamps (stamps go up 1cent on 5/12)
*Gift card from the CGA Bookstore (saves them from charging on their white card)
*Inexpensive digital watch (can buy 2) to take the rigors of swab summer
*Picture cube for their room (it's allowed) can personalize with pics of their family, friends and pets

Last year I gave friends & family members who were graduating gas cards. She can use this before she leaves and has all that running around to do...
I'm giving my son the leather-bound History of the Coast Guard book, of course it'll end up on our coffee table after he leaves...but it's the thought,
;-) And there's always the safe bet, $ money.
