Sending a Child Off to College: Part 2

What is an appropriate gift for your child when they are graduating high school and what is not?  Below is a lists of tried and true gifts to get your grad as they enter a new stage in their life.  There are gifts on this list for all price ranges.

Digital Camera
I-Pad
Updated Laptop
Down Payment for a Car **
Bike
Gift Cards for Places Near or On Campus for Purchasing Gas, Food or Clothes
Noise Cancelling Headphones for those Noisy Dorm Rooms
Luggage
Board Games or Video Game Console and Games
Vacation
Cell Phone with Paid Plan
Small Refrigerator
Furniture
TV
Recorder for Lectures
Printer
I Pod
Watch

**If you are considering getting them a car, I would recommend just making a down payment.  Buying the car for them does not teach the financial lessons that they need to be learning at this stage of life.
