Looking for ideas for a graduation gift for my son.

I'm thinking maybe a good leather briefcase, maybe personalised. He has completed his Law degree (honours) in Trinity College. His graduation ceremony is in early December so I have a bit of time to save and hope to have around €200 to spend (if nothing unexpected comes up between now and then).

I can't ask for suggestions on fb as he would see it.

Serious suggestions/advice welcome please.

Ah stop being such a PITAtongue Hi C :)

Personalized briefcase sounds nice. Or how about an action gift before he has to settle down to the serious business of being an adult..( Well he might decide to do that, I myself have not done so yetblushing )

Your link doesn't work!! tongue

Had a look at that site earlier though. Not his kind of thing. Will keep it in mind for 2 years time though.. when my younger son graduates. He'd try anything.

I want to get him something he will be able to keep or remember. Gave him money for his 21st and he paid bills with it.

Ooh that's a good idea. Last 2 suits he had were penneys and tesco. Maybe a good quality one would be good.

You should check the prices of good suits in old fashioned "gentlemen's" shops. I am sure ye have a few of those in Wexford. They will do alterations and all to make sure of a perfect fit.
