				Graduation Gift For A 46 Year Old Friend
			 
			
			We recently got a College Graduation Invite from a friend that is 47 years old that we have known for about 2 years.  Most of these things happened 25 years ago.

			Nice bottle of booze. At that age, while still proud of their accomplishment, I'm sure they aren't expecting gifts. But I don't know much about anything really.

			1969 or 1970 (since the age in the title is 46 and in the post is 47) something; Wine, Port, Coin set and the like.

			Rent out a whole oriental massage parlor for him and all his buddies for an hour.  Bring a bottle of Ativan and some Viagra, and a really nice Scotch for the drive home.

			Who sends those invites out, high school, college, etc? I always viewed them as looking for freebies.  
		
	
		
	
			
			
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
			Congrats to him for going back to school late though. Last edited by A930Rocket; 04-28-2016 at 08:55 AM..  |

			I dont think a gift is expected for a 47 YO graduate, but a bottle of booze would be nice and minimize chances for awkwardness if others do/dont bring gifts.

			I'm guessing "the gift" idea is your wife's? 
		
	
		
	
			
			
		
		
		
		
		
			Don't get me wrong, I think it is great for someone to finish their degree later in life. I, for one went back to school in my 30's and changed careers. However I never associated graduation from college as a required gift event (not like going to a wedding)
