so you want something that will mean something to him for a while.. not just money. and something that somehow is worthy of the occasion, not a kitchen appliance? but if he's a buddy of yours and he's graduating from college than you must be around the same age/financial situation so not something extravagant either. and not a fancy pen.

how 'bout a brief case/attache? or maybe a PDA? a really nice frame/case for his diploma? guys are harder than girls (jewelry always works). oh.. so.. if he's going to be looking for a tie-wearing type job, then a nice tie tack would probably do, or lapel pin. dressy professional guys wear some jewelry! maybe a nice lamp, if he's going on to a job/place of his own.. decent lighting is something that most people don't spend their own money on for a while and once they have it, they tend to keep it..

My mom gave me $1,000 dollars. I enjoyed it for the two months it sat in the bank until my school bill came and I had to use it all up.
