Graduation Presents, Ideas? Options

[lojay]

Okay, so a lot of my friends are graduating from high school this year and I have no idea what to get them for their presents.

Does anyone have any ideas? My mom suggested like a Circuit City or Best Buy Gift Card, or like stuff to bring with them to college from places like Linens and Things... but I think the whole Linens and Things is a more girly thing, and I'm shopping for guys... and I feel like gift cards and money aren't personal enough.

What does everyone else think? I guess post presents for both genders that way other people can benefit from the topic too :]

This is more something you'd only be able to do if you had time, but I had, over the years, shot many, many photos of my closest senior friend- so I printed them all out at a nearby shop, and assembled a collage of photos, movie tickets to movies we'd enjoyed, concert tickets, etc. on a big poster board and wrote a big long "farewell" letter to them in the middle of it.

For another friend, I got a big scrapbook put together with some friends- we all wrote a long, personal letter (unlike yearbook signings, which we all felt too rushed to properly do) and then tied it together with ribbon.

I don't know, I guess I like giving more of the personal presents.
