My youngest brother is graduating from Highschool next week and I have no idea what to get him for a graduation gift. I do not want to do gift cards or money, but something that will show him that he is moving on to the next step of his life. He is going to college to study digital media.... I also don't want to spend much more than $25.00. Any ideas??? One thought I had was presenting him a coupon book with prestamped and addressed envelopes for different care packages he could get throughout the year...
Well, I would say buy him a phone card but I think just about every teen has a cell phone now-a-days so maybe that isn't the best way to go!
I don't know if I would do a coupon book for a college kid. Most don't have a lot of time and when they do they have no idea where anything is! Just tell him that you will be sending him a care package on the __ of each month. Then he will have something that he can look forward to that week every month.

My favorite high scholl grad gift now is to check the college bookstore website and/or call them and get a fleece or sweatshirt blanket with logo.
The prices and shipping costs vary. If that costs too much, you might find something else on the website. Or buy him some other bed linens. Or one more idea...gift card for a fast food place near his campus.
Our standard gift is hand tools. Hammer, screwdriver (with different heads in the handle), an adjustable wrench (small), sm level, tape measure, in a small tool box.
I do a late night college studying survival kit: fill an insulated lunch bag with pop or red bull, pop tarts, granola bars, microwave popcorn, a roll of quarters for vending machines or laundry, and I even found caffinated gum. This year, instead of a lunch bag (we only had boys graduating and the store only had girlie colors for the lunch bags the day I was shopping) I used a small black duffel bag. My nieces and nephews also get care packages a couple times a year whenever I think to send them one, with more snacks or fun post it notes or goofy kid's meal toys.

I like the laundry hamper idea, especially for a boy. So if I put a role of quarters in it, laundry detergent, Fabric softner sheets that would work. Hey, do they have laundry hampers that roll?
One of my favorite graduation gifts I received was an engraved Parker pen. I use it nearly ever day.
I just gave my (male) cousin a grad gift, and made a laundry kit--pop up hamper, towels, laundry soap, quarters, and a box full of toiletry samples.
Love the laundry kit gift! Having a daughter who just graduated from college and one who just finished her freshman year, I know they could use this and appreciate it (well, actually I guess I did give them each a gift like that the day they each moved into their dorms...)
