Gift Idea

Pick your favorite book and include cash or a check as a bookmark. For example, I often give Meg Jay’s book, The Defining Decade as a high school or college grad gift and include two $20 dollar bills and a $5 bill for book marks in 2025, for example. Alternatively, write a check for a variation of their grad year, or simply skip it.
