Do I need to get a graduation gift? (Details below)

Question

My husband is about to graduate from a really intense 9 month full-time certificate program at Harvard. He had worked really hard. His parents are flying in for the graduation and my parents will go too. I paid for his tuition ($50,000) as well as supported our family for the entire year as the sole breadwinner. Do I also need to get him at least a token gift? If so, what?

Answer

Id get him a celebration cake or something. Nothing too much since you practically paid for everything

Answer

Can you guys get away for a night to celebrate for you both that he’s done?
Then when he gets a job, maybe a new bag or something. Hershel is the big brand in the Boston financial district.

Answer

Have something custom made for him.
A pen and paper set? Something that's related to the courses he took?

Answer

If you do, definitely something small since you already paid for so much. Even if it's just a congrats card and his favorite food/dessert.

Answer

Get him something small but meaningful. He conquered Harvard and that's a huge accomplishment. Give him something that he can look back on and think, my lady got me that, because look at how much I've accomplished. I couldn't have done it without her. Something having to do with his degree with something like an engraving or something like that. Just let him know you love him and you're proud of him

Answer

I would just get him something small like a card and a cake.

Answer

I would do something small. Like a small dinner at home. Cook his favorite meal. And a cute card. You don't have to do anything crazy because you did pay the whole thing. But graduating is a really big accomplishment, it would be nice to do something small you show how proud you are that he did it.

Answer

Yea! Doesn’t have to big big, just something thoughtful. Get him a bottle of his favorite liquor, or something he can use in his new career path- a monogrammed pen, stationary or something like that.

Answer

We paid about 25k for my graduate school and my husband 100% supported me the entire time and was the sole bread winner while I was in school. I just graduated in December and instead of Christmas/grad gift we just did a spa getaway together. But I wasn’t expecting a gift. It doesn’t seem like your husband is expecting a gift but I would do something to acknowledge this huge accomplishment of his! Make his favorite dinner, take him out to celebrate, invite friends and family over, just something.

Answer

Thanks everyone! So many great ideas in here. I better get cracking!
