    On One Hand: Give According to Your Relationship

    Money is the most popular graduation gift, according to Hallmark Consumer Research. Most people responding to a Hallmark survey agreed that $25 to $50 is a good amount to give a graduate you don't know well. For graduates you know well, gifts of $50 and up are more appropriate.

    On the Other: Give According to Your Budget

    You might not have room in your budget to give a large sum to the graduate in your life. In that case, give what you can afford. If $25 is all you can manage, then give that. If you're worried about appearing stingy, consider giving something else, such as a scrapbook or a photo frame.

    Bottom Line

    Ultimately, the amount of cash you give a graduate is up to you. A rule of thumb is to give an amount you're comfortable with. If $50 seems adequate, give that. If you have the means and the desire, give more. The graduate will be appreciate the cash, no matter how much he receives.
