Unless he's having a party or GTG that you're invited to I wouldn't.

no invite-no gift

no thank you note-no gift

UNLESS you feel it's the parents' fault and you actually like the kid. Then send it to him via mail, but nothing major.

I agree, if you are NOT getting invited to the party, I wouldnt give a gift.

Based on your previous experiences I wouldn't give anything.

As for the thank-you notes that is your aunt's fault, she should have sat both of her kids down to do them -
I've had it drilled in my head since I was little to send thank yous and I still do!

I think the kids are old enough to know about thank you notes.

Since you are not in the loop so to speak, I would just send a card.

Re: Should we get him a graduation present?

Thanks guys. Just to clarify, I don't KNOW if they're having any sort of party or dinner in his honor - I just haven't heard of any plans as of yet.

Any more opinions?Chat Icon

WELL in away your right.... Parents should remind them of thank yous. BUT I still feel no party no gift.

Hmmm, I think maybe send something small.
Maybe send some "scratch off' tickets with a card just to let him know you are thinking of him.
With the whole "No, Thank You" card, I think thats kind of the parents fault, although, he is older now and should know his responsibilities.

I like the card with the scratchoff idea.

I would regardless party or no party I didn't invite people to my wedding yet a gift was sent because they wanted to ( i just couldn't invite all) ...I think it is up to you ...how close are you ? His annoying parents I feel shouldn't be a factor.
