FH is graduating next month ... i want to get him a gift, but i have no idea what ...
i don't really want to get him 2010 'stuff' because he was supposed to graduate like 5 years ago but just took a college break (he's a late bloomer... but better late than never)
any ideas?
TIA

no, this is undergrad ... he majored in broadcasting and doesn't have a real job yet (he has a BS job though). He's looking for marketing / promotions jobs but he's not really getting many call backs from those types of places.

I know this might sound really nerdy, but the frames colleges sell for diplomas are a really nice gift because they don't come cheap. I am got one for DH's PhD, and he was thrilled!

Haha these are all things FH has wanted/received these past birthdays/christmas. A laptop is what we're buying ourselves as a wedding gift after the wedding! LOL!
What about a night out to dinner and a Broadway show? The BHB thread got me thinking. LOL!

Haha sorry, my attention is elsewhere today. It's Staff Appreciation Day so it's like a circus at work. LOL! You'd think people never saw free food in their lives!
Well it's a good idea anyway.
Ooh I really like the Kindle idea, too. What about an i-phone? If he's into the tech stuff.

Kindle is a great idea but we don't read. He already has an ipod that he never uses. And he jsut got a new phone like a month ago so i wouldn't buy him an iphone.
he's freakin' difficult! lol (actually, he's usually really easy to shop for ... but i'm looking for something different than the 'norm', i guess)

Hmmm tickets to a comedy show? A helicopter ride over the city? A surfing lesson? I'm trying to think outside the box. LOL!
