8th grade graduation gift?

My brother invited me to his sons 8th grade graduation. Other family members are going and even though I'm not close to him or his kids I decided to go because I didnt want to be "that" aunt and hopefully can have a better relationship with them.

I planned on getting a card for him, but do I also need to give a gift? Its just 8th grade and it seems weird to me if I bring a gift. I wasn't sure since the last time I went to an 8th grade graduation it was my own and the only people who gave me presents were my parents.

I don't even know what to give if we do, probably money but that still seems weird.. any advice you guys can give would be super appreciated. I feel totally in the dark on this one.

    what about a gc to a book/music store? I don't know any 8th grader who doesn't enjoy magazines and music.

    I'd ditto the iTunes gc or if you know that he might be ino video games or something you can get him a gc to Target, Electronics Boutique or Game Stop.

    I actually do remember getting a CD from my aunt for my 8th grade grad.  It was a Live CD, but not the one I liked at the time, so yeah, go with a gift card :)

    Money or a gc! My son graduated from 8th grade today. At that age, it's all about having spending money.

    I'm giving my sister's stepson a usb thingey and a gift card.  (he is split between his mom and dad's house and he's getting a new computer from his dad...and he'll need something to take his homework back and forth between the 2 computers).

    I typically would give itunes or a gift card to do something.

     

    Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.
