Party invite - gift question

We got invited to a party tomorrow and the invite says "to celebrate birthdays and graduations" - they have 3 kids. One is graduating, 2 have birthdays and the dad has a birthday. The kids are like 14, 10 and 8 I wanna say....

What should I get? Would a $25 Target gift card be ok? Or maybe for the oldest one (a girl) - a GAP card or something like that?

14, 10 and 8?

i say buy the dad earplugs

j/k... gift cards are always a good idea, i think maybe either to toys r us or a book store for the 2 younger ones and gap or old navy for the older one.

Re: Party invite - gift question

Gift cards are the way to go. Target is fine for all of them. The one that graduates can get electronics or dorm stuff.

Re: Party invite - gift question

Since it seems to be a group celebration, maybe something like movie passes, Friendly's or an Applebee's gift card for them to use as a family. Another idea is a movie basket or beach / pool basket. Include something for each one of them.

Re: Party invite - gift question

Do you know them well? I would do wine for the dad, and gift cards for the kids, but maybe a different one based on their hobbies/favorite stores. So if they like electronics--best buy. Girl--favorite store. Or if they are sporty-modells or REI. Something like that.

ETA: I just read that the party is tomorrow...CVS and grocery stores usually have big displays of all different kinds of gift cards that you can get in one place.
