What do I buy my sister for her undergrad graduation?

I'm running out of time! I have 2 weeks.

My parents bought her a beautiful piece of jewelry.

We both agreed that we're not going to go crazy because we're both equally broke - she already bought me a $60ish gift. (vera bradley)

She works for Coach, so a wristlet or something like that is pointless.

I looked into a Pandora charm bracelet, but for $75, I can get the base bracelet and ONE BEAD. Pointless!

She bought herself a Coach bangle with her discount as her "graduation present to herself".

I bought her a watch recently, so she doesn't need one of those either.

She hasn't decided if she's going to go to Grad School at this time, or what field she'll be going into. She's staying at Coach for the summer because she has a few vacations planned.

She's graduating with a history degree.

Any suggestions? I really need some help!

Thanks Chat Icon

What about luggage for her vacations?

GC to get clothes for work or for her trips?

What about tickets for the 2 of you to see a show or concert together? I know it may be more than $60ish, but you can usually get some good deals for matinees or maybe an off-brodway show.

I got my sister a necklace from Red Envelope that says "adh mor", it's gaelic for "good luck"... it wasn't expensive at all. (She's going right onto grad school in the fall though and needs all the luck she can get-- did that just sound biitchy?! I didn't mean it like that).

When in doubt, go to Red Envelope!!

I am planning on getting my sister who is grad. in May, a gift card to the Apple store since she wants a Mac - she can put it towards that.

Re: What do I buy my sister for her undergrad graduation?

I would give her something sentimental.

My brother got me "Oh, the Places You'll Go" (the Dr. Suess booK) for my graduation, with a really amazing, personalized note. I'll keep that book forever. It's silly to some, but to get something that sentimental from my brother (who is not the mushiest member of my family) was really nice. (I think he also gave me a check, but I really don't remember - just remember the book)

Thank you Chat Icon

I ended up ordering the base Pandora bracelet for $40, an initial bead for $17 Chat Icon

and some beads from ebay for $20 or so, and clips for another $20.

I'm OK spending $100 - she earned it!

You could frame her diploma for her...sometimes this can be pricey, though it doesn't have to be.

Is she going to be teaching? Then maybe a nice briefcase.

Or maybe some pretty personalized stationary?
