Tips if you do give cash or gift cards
If you’re still having trouble picking out the perfect gift, that’s okay. Gift cards and cash are still an option that new graduates will love. To help you make sure you gift the right amount, here’s a guide to help:
- Generally, you can give $20 to $100 to a high school grad.
- For college graduates, it’s appropriate to give $50 to $200.
How close you are with the graduate (as well as what you can afford) can also help dictate how much you should give as a graduation gift.
