Other than contributing to the bachelor party, I really don't know what to get him.<br/><br/>Not like one can bring a Cuisinart on a plane...

I was a diligent gift-giver for awhile, but after ten or so, I decided to only attend and gift for close friends. I saw little-to-no point in spending $75 on someone I knew only socially and ran into at cocktail parties.<br/><br/>Be forewarned though - getting through all the weddings doesn't mean the gift-giving season is over. After this they start having kids! Plus, they STOP sending you birthday gifts because well, you know, they've got kids and a mortgage and other stuff to pay for.<br/><br/>I like the gift-giving idea for graduation though - hmmm...

Be forewarned though – getting through all the weddings doesn’t mean the gift-giving season is over. After this they start having kids! Plus, they STOP sending you birthday gifts because well, you know, they’ve got kids and a mortgage and other stuff to pay for.

I like the gift-giving idea for graduation though – hmmm…
