Okay some of my friends oldest kids are now starting to graduate from high school.

What the heck is being given as gifts to these kids?  Gift certificates or is it better just to write a check?  Anyone know?

Cars! Trucks! Jet planes!

Hot Wheels makes some good ones... :D

Hmmm... I remember getting some cash, a very nice watch, a few *ahem* things from my girlfriend, a dinner at a really nice restaurant.

*ponders* You know any of these kids hobbies?

This is a quiet girl who reads a lot.

Hmmm... well, I guess it depends on how much you wanna spend.

-A nice gift certificate to a good bookstore.
-A first or collector's edition of a book or series of books she likes...

*smiles and shrugs* Obviously I don't know her, but does she like to write as well? Draw?

I don't know her well enough to say.  I'm thinking some cash might be a good bet.  Kids always need money to buy stuff.  Maybe that is the safe way to go.

Cash is almost always good for kids that age. That way she can purchase what she desires with it. :)

Well I got nothing when I graduated, even though I got straight A's.  But my ideas would be some cult literature like "Generation X" or "Catch 22" or "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance", "On the Road" etc. etc.  And maybe wrap them in a Hello Kitty Knapsack, or other Japanese kitch. Oh and a personal message from you in the books so she has a memory attached to them.

Thanks for that advice NC.  I just might stop in and pick up a copy of Zen and the Art of MM and send that along too.
