Deciding on how much to give someone for their graduation can be different based on a few reasons. The simplest is your budget. If you have a limited budget then most criteria wouldn't matter and we also don't think you should worry about giving too little. It is the thought that counts so any amount would be suitable. On a tight budget, you might also consider spending money on something like Gold Bullion. Gold Bullion is something that can increase in price and still be seen as giving cash.
Now if you are not tight on a budget, then we recommend a range from $25 to $500 for a graduation present. Below is our breakdown.
