We had a son graduate from high school last year and sent out announcements. We did not expect gifts at all, but he did get gifts from $5 to $25 from people. Nothing over $25 except from family. I will say after seeing the cost of everything we had to get to get him set up for college, it all was very much appreciated! Even the $5.00 gift cards to walmart or target were great for him to use as he needed supplies. I want to share a really neat gift idea. Someone had given a gift in a laundry basket that had laundry soap, shout, fabric softner, laundry bag and a couple rolls of quarters. We thought that was a really great idea. He even really appreciated $5.00 gift cards to blockbuster because he never had any money and that was handy to have. But as I said, it was not expected but was appreciated.
