May I suggest Lee Sand's Eel Skin Bi-Fold Wallet. My DH loves these wallets. The leather is beautiful, shiny, soft, & supple. They wear like iron. DH stuffs his 4" thick & they last years. He has spent upwards of $200 on a wallet & always returns to Lee Sand's. He also gives these out by the dozens as business gifts. A young man graduating from college will need to replace his college-era wallet with something more professional.

A wallet is good....but I know my son got 4.
Depends on what you want to spend, something to do with his profession? brief case? leather card holder, travel alarm clock, dopp kit ( or whatever they call them now) piece of luggage a book, pen...anything from Cross to Mont Blanc..
And remember....money is always good!

How about a gift certificate? They were pretty popular when DD and her friends graduated college. DD got some to Target, Walmart, Bed, Bath & Beyond.

For years I gave hanging garment bags.... a good quality one and if I really liked/knew the kid then I had initials monogrammed. You can do colors and bold fabric ones for the girls and the usual simple dark colors for the guys. They always like them!

I have this thing against giving money and gift certificates.... just me.

I have given coolers filled with goodies as wedding gifts, has been well received. Also maybe a snazzy executive lunchbox or thermos or some kind of snazzy coffee maker. I gave my cousin one of those all purpose tools for graudation--he liked that. Or a snazzy toolbox with a gift certificate inside for tools.
Staples gift certificate for his new job needs.

It might be easier to give money for a graduation present and then choose a gifty-gift for the wedding. Most likely they will be registered somewhere and you can choose something from their list, and know that they will like it.

Just a thought.

My DH just received his MAster's Degree this past weekend. I bought him a custom made frame for his Degree. The company is great to work with and the frame is gorgeous! Here is their website:

Or, do you know what he'll be doing? Maybe a framed print for an office wall or something that represents something that he is interested in. When DH received his undergrad he received a beautiful clock from his Dad for his office. Just some thoughts, I hope they help! Gina

I'd give the same thing I give every graduate, my heartfelt congratulations and cash, because every kid I know comes out of college with student loans and cash is always appreciated.

No help, I know.

I would go with cash or a gift card to somewhere like Target or Bed Bath and Beyond. That way they can get stuff that they need for a new apartment or just necessities. I loved getting presents as much as the next graduate, but sometimes practicality rules! :)

my mother got my daughter an OSU bangle bracelet from the diamond cellar.she got my cousin one too when she graduated,they run about $295 dollars which is kinda high. (they have other osu stuff that is lower in price) but they both loved it. i thought it was very sentimental. if the link below doesn't work just go to the diamond cellar website.

I think the wallet with a check inside is a good idea. When my son graduated from college he got mostly money.

I agree on the wedding, look at their registry and pick something from that.

Frequent flyer miles?

Someone else already suggested it, but I love a toolbox and tools. He can also exchange it if he already has one if you get it at Lowe's or Home Depot.
