Graduation present
Graduation present
Can anybody help me with an idea for a graduation present? She is from a very wealthy family´- neighbours of ours - and has just about everything she wants and needs.

Money. That is what they want and also need, wealthy or not. The amount depends on your relationship. It has been years when I last gave a graduation gift. I think we gave 100 € or 200 € to our godsons, and 50 € or 100 € to my husband´s nephew. 20 € should be enough for a neighbours kid. Post offices sell congratulation cards that have "a money pocket".

And get a nice, unused 20 € bill from a bank, not some wrinkled used thing from your wallet. Plus a rose on top of it.

OTOH if you think maybe she is so rich that 20€ won't make a difference, you could always buy her a book (eg about Australia if that's where you are from) and write something nice on the inside cover.
We gave cash to our niece as she gave birth 3 months after graduating from High School and needed the money for baby stuff. But as the others said, it is traditional to give a rose as well.

Some time ago, I bought a 3D puzzle, level 8 (Hanayama cast puzzles, http://stores.brilliantpuzzles.com/-str ... Detail.bok, brain teasers 
category). It took me some 3 hours to dissasamble it, some 2 hours to create a different shape, and a lot of time to get it back to original shape (and was not able to do it without help from our friend google). I will write something like: since you have finished school, you have now a lot of time. She will remember it rather than a 20 euros banknote that you can spend on 4 
downtown.

Someone with more time could translate this http://www.taloussanomat.fi/raha/2008/0 ... 814039/139 but in summary: kids want money, gift cards, cheque etc. They don't want jewelry, glassware or cookware.

Yes.... the ubiquitous Alvar Aalto vase and a set of Hackman saucepans. Pretty sure they were NOT on my wish-list when I left school
