Well, I have mailed out my second item sold on e-bay. I am starting to get the hang of the whole e-bay thing. If I can just stop buying on e-bay I'll see a profit. No, really, I am doing pretty well with not buying anything. It is more time consuming than I thought it would be but I will keep it up just because any money coming in helps. I will put the money in my money jar. There are so many things coming our of our paycheck, we may still be a bit in the red. What did everyone do for the graduates that you recd' a invitation from. We normally give $30.00 is a fair amount? I guess I will buy a few extra graduation cards on sale so I will have them next year at this time. My car is in desperate need of an oil change and wheel alignment which I guess I will have done tomorrow. Really, can't put it off any more or I may regret it.

I have been selling on ebay too, and I love it. It's great to take care of those pesky little bills.
Anyway, for graduation gifts, I like to buy items in bulk, and on clearence, then put them together in a 'basket', or some kind of container that would be usefull to a college bound kid. For example, for my sister, we did a laundry basket with some simple, inexpensive household items, also some snacks, like teddy grahams, and teas, ect.
It kinda fun because you can personalize it a little, like if you know what school they are going to, or if you know their favorite candy bar or drink.
I get baskets from garage sales for really cheap, also Wal-mart and Target usually have really cute storage totes / baskets / containers on clearence all the time.
Well, I have babbled long enough! Good luck, and nice talking to you!
Have a great week!
