If it’s a girls graduation and you give cash don’t give all singles.

Just don't get them John Hart items. Probably 85% of my grad gifts were from John Hart. I never see anyone buy John Hart, but somehow he has a market control over High School graduation gifts. It's so odd.

Bout 20 yrs ago I gave 3 boys I deer hunted with $20 and a box of condoms each with a note saying 'use all wisely' as a graduation gift. The gifts were very well received from the feedback I got.

35,000

In pennies.

Not wrapped either, give it to them in a sack to teach the brat some work ethic so he can wrap them before a bank will cash them out.

Write this on a piece of paper and give it to them.

Life tip: Don't bet on slow horses.

Why would you need to gift a co-worker's kid?

I give my friend’s kids $100. It’s weird because I had kids much later. All of my friends kids are graduating or close to graduating. My oldest is in 4th and my youngest is pre-k.

Yeah, you gotta spit the kids out early so you can reap the cash benefits then split in a couple years when their kids start school.

Well she did turn 18 of course. Make sure to write your name and phone number on the money.
