Answer 6

Answer 7

$50-100 depending on how you know them.

i got first answer.....best answer please??

Answer 8

$20

Answer 9

Whatever you can afford I am sure will be greatly appreciated.

My mother always taught me that it is the thought that counts the most and if this person has graduated from college, than I'm sure they will appreciate the thought and the cash.

Answer 10

$100.00

Answer 11

Depends on how much you can afford.  $20 is a good amount. Maybe $50 if you're well off.

Answer 12

my parents gave me $250 just cause i am their son. I think it depends on how well you know that person.

Answer 13

It depends on your age and your relationship with the graduate.

If you are young and in college your self: $50.

If you are older and are working full-time for a few years: $100

If you are an aunt, uncle, or some other close relative in need of showing a great level of support for this achievement ($150 - $200).

Answer 14

It all depends on how close to them you are. If it is just a family friend or a friends child, then $20 should be fine. And that is assuming it is not a nice sit down dinner occaison. Otherwise, it if is family, anywhere from $50-$100 is fine.

Answer 15

usually 50 $ is good.

Answer 16

50 for non family and 100 for family.

Answer 17

Ha!  Nothing.  You give them a card that says...now that you have a college education, you can get a high paying job and buy me a new sweater.  lol.  Really though, can't you think of a better gift than money?  That is the most impersonal gift a person can give.....

Answer 18

Depends on how well you know the graduate. Lots of people also give pens, briefcases, a gift certificate, or something specific to what the graduate is going to do.

Answer 19

50-100 dollars......choose me best answer

Answer 20

Give according to your means.  Its the thought that counts.

Answer 21

well if i was the graduate i would want more than 50-100$ but i would say if you dont really know the person maybe 45-50$, if your kinda close around 60-75$, and inclining  

and decreasing on a scale like that ending with your best friends being between 100-120$

Answer 22

20+ is appropriate, depending on how close you are to them.

More is better!

Answer 23

If your budget will allow $50-$100 unless of course you are like the parents, and then you may wanna do more?

Answer 24

Depending how close you are... 20 min

Answer 25

a 12 pack

oh, but I drank 6 with him

Answer 26

Give only what you can afford.  To give more would be tragic.

Answer 27

100 tha's what people gave me at my party

Answer 28

give what you can and tellemits also a retainer

Answer 29

one advice they are not earning they are studying and whatever they are spending is parents money so little amount is enough but not more than Rs.300/- that will be more than enough to spend and also to keep up the prestige.
