Experience I have been writing a daily etiquette advice column for 8 years.

Question Is it appropriate for my husband and I to give our daughter's boyfriend more than a card for high school graduation? She and he have been dating for approx. 9 months and are NOT discussing engagement or marriage.
He's a great fellow and has done a lot for her. What do you think?
Answer Dear Jan,
If you and your husband wish to give him a gift (in any form) as a
token of your esteem for him,please do. As you are not his peers,but
mature adults, giving him something to help him out as he starts a
new phase in his life is fine.
Best regards,
Amanda Gamble
