What are some good high school graduation gift ideas?

Several of my friends have children who are graduating from High School this year. What is something nice, but not too expensive? I usually give my nephews and nieces $50 for graduations, but I can't afford to give that much to too many people, especially when I'm not that close to them. Any ideas?

    Diploma frames are good. Granted, everyone wants money, but diploma frames will last a lot longer. Address books are nice, so you can write down all the great HS friends that you'll never talk to again. Maybe a nice leather bound daily organizer/planner. If they're going to college, a hot-pot, fan, coffee-maker, mini cassette recorder or something along those lines would be great.

    Well i just graduated, and the people who arent really close to me, gave me like 20-30 dollars. All i got for graduation is money so yeah...you could give them a gift card somewhere.

    Stick with the money. It's the best thing you could give someone who's starting a new, scary sage in life. Even if it's only $20 apiece, it's the fact that you thought enough to give and to the kids, money is money!

    Money and gift cards are probably the best gift. Here is a list of practical gifts that you could tailor to your needs and don't have to break the bank:

    some thing gold ~ Like a chain with a splash gold medal on it. I have been given my god daughter a Saint Christopher medal on it ~ She enjoyed it!!!!! (She replaced into going over seas and that's an emblem of robust shuttle) good success!

    You can give them things to put in there dorm rooms such as blankets, lamps, etc. But if there not going to college how about $10 in a card? it's better than nothing and you barely know them....
