Send him a gift card. Once I sent money in the mail and I was lucky to get it back because it got lost and the postal service could not find the address so I got it back .

Either send him money or a gift card for something that he really likes.  I feel so sorry for the class of 2020 because they will not get to experience the graduation experience.

Send a gift card, that way he can get use it as he wants. I t is so sad that this year's graduate's don't get to enjoy that last final send off with their friends.

When I have a graduate I always send money ( check/cash)  and a card,,,  Let them get what they want or need.  They are hard to buy for at that age  LOL

My daughter mentioned it to him that I wanted to get him something for graduating. He told his Mom that he would appreciate a back pack for college :) So I had a back pack and a class of 2020 key ring sent to their house, I hope he likes. I'd rather send him something that he really wants and a check too will be in the mail !!....thanks everyone !!

Maybe you can give a speech via facetime for him.  Dress up for it to make it formal and send him a gift or two.

I know right!! To work all these years and not get to experience prom or graduation must be the worse!! My daughter is taking it well though.

Either send him money or a gift card for something that he really likes.  I feel so sorry for the class of 2020 because they will not get to experience the graduation experience.

i have a nephew graduating from college and a niece graduating from high school. I feel for both of them. I think i feel worse for my niece. She missed a big portion of her senior year and graduation.
I have found that cold hard cash is a welcome gift for anyone graduating or other celebration! :rainbow: :peace: :wave:

I feel so sorry for the graduates both from high school and college.  You have worked so hard to finally get to this place and it’s been taken away from you.  It only happens once and it’s so sad you’ll miss the graduation, the high school senior prom, parties, and seeing the happy and proud faces of your family.

While I feel for all the 2020 graduates who will not have proper graduation ceremonies this year, I also feel that people generally go overboard when it comes to high school graduation.  Yes, it is a milestone in a young person's life.  But, it is the BARE MINIMUM that society expects our young people to achieve.  So, keep that in mind.

I know a lot of people getting lawn signs made with the grad's name on it with a special note and sending it to them.

Who knows, it may encourage him to be your referral once he moves out.
