Do you know a soon to be graduate?
These days I know tons of kids graduating high school since Noah’s a junior. It’s hard to believe that in one year it will be him graduating. As I am buying gifts I have come across a lot of great ideas. Of course, cash and gift cards are always a good go to. When picking out a gift card make sure it doesn’t expire. If it does expire make sure it’s not for at least two years.
