Gift Ideas for male graduate

Parent Cafe

<p>The inlaws are asking for ideas for a college grad gift for my S. They would like to give an actual gift not money. Any good ideas?</p>

<p>Good question! I’d like to get some ideas, too.</p>

<p>My parents had my son’s degree framed.</p>

<p>My sister is purchasing a [url=&lt;a href=“http://www.zipcar.com/sf/check-rates]Zipcar[/url”&gt;http://www.zipcar.com/sf/check-rates]Zipcar[/url</a>] annual membership for my son, who will be selling his car when he moves to San Francisco.</p>

<p>Grandparents of several here are buying luggage sets, at the suggestion of the grads.</p>

<p>Itunes gift cards are always appreciated. Besides music/videos for their iPod, if they have and iPhone or iPad, the Itunes cards can be used to buy Apps.</p>

<p>How about a roth IRA. I believe it can be used later on as a down payment for a house.</p>

8

<p>In lieu of cash, how about a few shares of a particular stock that is related to the graduate’s degree</p>

<p>someone on another thread talked about a family tradition of belt buckles from Tiffany’s.</p>

<p>The stock or Roth IRA idea might work. I will suggest it to the grandparents.
I don’t think any of my kids would want their diploma framed as a gift.
Keep the ideas coming. The biggest problem is this is a no frills kid.</p>
