Graduation gift

lkamenko

My oldest is graduating High school next week!  Can't believe it. I need your help with the ideas for the graduation gift. He wants a car, but this is not going to happen, sorry kid.

I am thinking something in 100 - 125 dollars range, something that would be useful for him in college, perhaps? He is very much in to computers and games and not very outdoorsy (sp?)

I was thinking about some gift certificate for the expierience, but can't think of anything particular. Please help me, gals.

TIA.

If he's going off to college, maybe one of those subscriptions for monthly boxes of stuff, like snacks? I think Naturebox is the one for healthy snacks, not sure what else is out there. 

I found some fun options here:

He is going to college, but not starting his program until January 2015, so for another 7 months he is stuck with us

Thank you, ladies, lots of good ideas. I like the how to boil a water cookbook  - he will need one. Also mini fridge is an awesome suggestion - I think he will like it even now to have in his room, so he does not have to get out to grab his soda from the kitchen fridge.

I looked at the groupon and found a tickets to the local rock music festival for two deal. Do you think it's a good idea? I just want him to get out of the house once in a while, the kid is glued to his laptop in his room...

Mini fridge. New TV for his dorm room? Or blu ray player? My mom gave me a nice laundry basket filled with towels, my bath caddy, laundry soap, dryer sheets, etc. that was really nice! I also like the mini Keurig idea or a coffee maker.
