High School Graduation Gift Ideas?
Posted on 4/14/19 at 7:54 am

My son is graduating high school in May. Honors student with an “A” average. LSU is paid for, so if he doesn’t screw around, he graduate debt free. (As a side note, his tuition is covered by veteran’s dependent program, and everything else is covered with scholarships.) Two things I’ve thought about getting him are a new car (drives an ‘05 Suburban with 250k miles) or cash. But I have reservations about both. When I cashed my student loans every semester, I blew it on shite like drugs, alcohol and stereo equipment. I’m still paying for all that crap to this day. This e are the most expensive drugs you can buy, with interest. Second, the car, as much as Id love to, Id have to take out a loan to do so, and I think I want to be done going into more debt for my kids.
What say you? What were some cool gifts that you got for graduation or heard about?

A nice watch, something to remember this chapter in his life. I received a Rolex on my graduation day, and have had wore it ever since.

Sounds like he needs a new vehicle.

Solid brag on kid thread
New car is bad idea. It will get beat up in no time.
A powerful computer wouldn't be a bad idea
Offering to cover books for first year would be another idea
Covering kid's car insurance is a third idea
What hobbies does he have?

Help him with these and he'll better be able to budget wisely for things like books and tutoring.
Actually, a newer car might not be a bad idea. Doesn't have to be brand new and expensive.

Get this kid a sled

A new car is a terrible idea if he is going to be parking full time on campus

Graduating high school shouldn't be a big deal. I'd get him something small, a couple hundred bucks spent at most, and get the expensive gift for graduating college, which is much more of an accomplishment.

Get him a nice bike to commute between classes.

Can I hear some more about this?

Bike sounds good. Unless the kid ain’t into a bike.
Why don’t you just ask the boy what he’d like?

This my thinking. Get Him something nice, ie. $1000 budget.
Buying someone a new car for graduating high school, something they should be doing anyway, is over kill

Take him on a weekend trip with you to somewhere both of y’all want to go. Make it memorable and you’ll both have that for the rest of your lives.
