Whats a good gift for an 8th grade gradation?

Question

If your daughter was graduating 8th grade in a few months, what would be your gift?

Answer 1

Gift Cert. to a Salon/Spa

IPOD shuffle. It's not bad for $69.

Gift Card to her favorite clothing store

If the two of you are close, maybe a weekend trip someplace.

Take a road trip, do some activites, stay the weekend at a

hotel.

I remember my 8th grade graduation and I think I got a gold bracelet and my family went out to dinner.

Answer 2

I agree, digital camera is a good choice but money is good too. It really depends on what she likes and the kind of things she likes to do.

Answer 3

hahaha i'm a freshman this year and when I "graduated" from 8th grade my dad just told me to beware the freshman hunt lol

Answer 4

a cute purse, new phone, digital camera, or a make-up set

Answer 5

My daughters arent quite that old yet, but my niece graduated from 8th grade last year. My sister bought her a digital camera and a manicure and pedicure and she got her hair done. (she had an end of the year dance that night). I got her a bracelet and a good book that i thought she'd like.

Hope i helped, and congrats to you're daughter. Only four more years to go.

:)

Answer 6

Cellphone. I know that when I was a kid i'd have killed to have my own phone line that nobody else could interfere with. Preferably a cool cellphone, like a pink RAZR or something like that.

Answer 7

Cell phone or digital camera

Answer 8

We got our daughter a digital camera for hers.  when the start high school they get more involved in school activities and want to take a lot of pics and this has been a lot cheaper on us in the long run and she loves it.

Answer 9

A good cell phone if she doesn't already have one (but I would put texting limits on it). Or, I would give her a good digital camera. For mine I got a Canon Powershot S3 IS that I loved...until my dad ran over it...now I have a Powershot S5 IS and it is amazing. I am a photography bug :D

Answer 10

im an 8th grader about to graduate and i would say money or an electronic device that everyone else has, if she gets something that everyone else has it would boost self-esteem and make her feel cool.

Answer 11

a f**kin' pat on the back. "good job kid."

Answer 12

either a cell phone, or a digital camera.

id say digital camera because there will be timeless memories throughout your high school years.

Answer 13

a car

Answer 14

for mine my mom gave me a really pretty necklace!!! :)

Answer 15

She gets a gift?  I didn't get a gift at my 8th grade graduation.  What a ripoff.

Answer 16

As a parent, keep it under $40.  Grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc. should keep it under $20.  It is a milestone, but not one for which a large gift would be appropriate.

I would likely give my daughter something that would further enhance her education.  A nice dictionary/thesaurus set would be appropriate.  A nice pen with her name engraved on it would be good, also.
