Graduation gifts
I graduate from college in a few days, and my parents want to buy me a gift but can't think of anything good. The best idea they've come up with so far is a NICE watch ($1500 range), which is really a nice gesture but I just bought myself a perfectly adequate $200 Citizen like a year and a half ago. I feel like I would never have occassion to wear a really fancy watch.
So, two part question here: 1. Does anyone actually own a fancy watch that they wear only a few times a year? 2. Do you have a good idea for a graduation gift? (Stay away from computers/electronics because I'd rather buy that stuff for myself)

Re: Graduation gifts
any more than a couple hundred on a watch is just overkill (though I would love to own a Sinn).
also, what do you like to do? you could have your parents spend money on one of your hobbies (new mtn. bike, etc)

Re: Graduation gifts
In my family, the high school graduation gift of tradition is a nice watch and some luggage - "time to go", get it?
Anyway, my watch was a nice Tissot (this was in 1991). Since then my father-in-law gave me a Rolex. I never wear either, except the Rolex when I play poker live. But, even though I never wear it, my high school graduation watch is a memento that I value, and I'm glad to have it.

Re: Graduation gifts
Take that $1500 and use it towards taking a trip with friends somewhere. This will be much more useful than a watch which you will be afraid to wear.

Re: Graduation gifts
P.S. Make sure you take this trip before you start working and make it a goal to get into as MUCH trouble as possible.

A hooker is a great graduation gift.
