Post by ragtopW »

[smilie=q-mark.gif] [smilie=q-mark.gif]
So.. I get a Graduation announcement in the mail.. from a young man I have known since he was..4 years old.. and haven't seen in...9 years. (or so)
(some background)
I was involved with his mother when I moved to Idaho..
long story short.. I moved.. she didn't. she got married
and I haven't spoken to them in 9 years..
I would like to send something, but I have no idea what
a gift card??? for who.. (or where)

any ideas?? (oh yeah.. If I print up the article from the news paper in the other
thread... do I go to jail??) :lol:

High School Grad who is a boy.. A subscription to either Playboy(if they have class) or Hustler(if they don't have class) is always a good idea to bring a boy into manhood.
Did you hear the one about me being a punk?
Did you hear the one about me being a drunk?
Did you hear the one about me losing my nerve?
Or how I'm just another f**** sheep in the herd?
Did you hear the one about me giving a s***?
Cause if I ever did I don't remember it.

Ugh.. I feel sorry for you. I have always said, best for a boy to look at twins than a lonely stranger.

Send him a check. Having attended 3 graduation parties so far this year cash and checks are the preferred gift.

I say money too.

Maybe he has a myspace page. Check it out, see what his interests are if you want to get him something more personal.

I have to agree with cash or a gift card (one from Best Buy was a great suggestion). I've found that to be what works best.

As the mom of a grad..........money! Very grateful for that! :D

If you know where he is going to college, the PA schools you can get gift cards they can use on campus ie: $100 book, that you only use 45 pages of!

Or see if there is a fast food place or Target near by.

I know the grad want cash, we gave our gift cards last year and everyone thanked us - it got them through finals and midterm muchies (well drinking too I guess :roll: )
