HOW MUCH IS APPROPRIATE TO GIVE FOR GRADUATION GIFTS?
This is a really personal question, and there isn’t one set answer. Also, how much you spend isn’t what is important! It’s the thought behind the giving that counts. I usually spend what I can afford, based on how close I am with the graduate, etc. You can’t go wrong with a personalized DIY gift!
