$0. Why would you give a coworker's kid a grad gift?
I guess I'd go $20 if I felt obligated.

My coworkers gave me my son $20-$50 - but my son works at my office
Also, not everyone gave him a gift.
I gave my coworker’s daughter $50

Not a simple question. If I was making $100k and a coworker got me a job making $250k I’d give more than $500.
In some cases I use what they gave my kids or family in similar circumstances. It really depends.

Just a coworker? Zero.
A friend and you know the kid, maybe $50. Just a coworker? Zilch

How hard is it to gift a $20 chik fil-a card? Don’t they give those out with each baptism?
Posted on 5/23/25 at 11:49 pm to Eightballjacket

Depends on thr relationship with the coworker as well as the child.

A typical cash gift for a coworker's child graduating high school is usually between $20 and $50. Here’s a general guideline based on your relationship:
$20–$30: If you're not very close to the coworker or haven’t met the child.
$40–$50: If you're closer to the coworker or want to be especially generous.
If the office is pooling money for a group gift, contributing $10–$20 is also appropriate. It’s more about the gesture than the amount. Including a congratulatory card with a personal note adds a thoughtful touch.

200-300 bucks in my neighborhood, (according to my wife anyway )

Do you actually know the kid? If not then they get $0
$20-50 is appropriate if you know the kid but aren’t that close to him
