fwiw i've never recieved a graduation present, nor has anyone ive known thrown a graduation party. is this a thing? I'd echo other suggestions though - something coffee themed seems appropriate.
I had a high school graduation party. Those are definitely a thing (at least in our area). I did not have a college graduation party but DH and I drank champagne the day I dropped out of grad school. Does that count?
DH wants to buy bikes now that we have a nice trail nearby to ride on. I haven't ridden a bike in 10 years.
A few years ago I decided to buy a bike, after not having ridden one since probably high school. I was a little wobbly at first and it felt awkward, but the saying is true - you don't really forget how. Have fun!

We've wanted to buy some for awhile now but haven't gotten around to it. My in-laws are trying to convince us we should pay them for the bikes that have been sitting in their garage for 15+ years.
I'm not necessarily against buying 'old' bikes but when I told them I'd like to look at them before we committed to buy them, they got all insulted. I wasn't trying to be insulting... I just well... sort of want a pretty bike...you know... with girly colors...
Here's a question for everyone... This weekend I have a triple graduation party, one of which is an MBA - what on earth do I get as an MBA graduation gift, am totally stumped. She has a job already, so would prefer not to give cash.
Either alcohol or a gift card to something spa-ish. A "treat yo self" after the hard work.

Do it!! I love bike riding! DH and I got out quite often. I hadn't ridden in a long time when he and I started dating but it was easy to pick up again.
Last year he bought me a mountain bike and we have been going trail riding... like through the woods and over hills and bumps and tree roots. I swear he's trying to kill me! I fell in a creek once, lol. Lots of fun though.

I don't blame you for this at all. I was very concerned about color when we bought my bike last year... if we were going to spend that much money on something I wanted to really like it!! It is grey, teal, and mint green with a matte finish. I love it!

Yeah! I think they took it as me saying I didn't want their 'junk' since the bikes have been sitting there so long. LOL granted my MIL understood my sentiments, my FIL not so much. But then my FIL and I don't always understand each other.

Why do I start driving on the highway without checking my gas gauge? I just got the low fuel level light and in at least 10 minutes from the gas station.

In most cars, the fuel light comes on when you have roughly 2 gallons left. So if you know your normal fuel economy (or your car tells you real-time) you can usually estimate it. For my car I usually get about 40 miles between fuel light and empty. Not that I've ever pushed it that far, but usually if I push it another 30 or 35 miles and then fill it up I'm putting almost an entire tank (down to the tenths of a gallon) into it.

I am also really good at doing that... I swear someone is stealing my gas because I don't know how I go through it so quickly, lol. Really I just have a stupid long commute and I don't pay as much attention as I should.

I have another 4 miles or so for the gas station. I'm trying not to floor it :-p

I know all of this all to well. Haha... Having the real time fuel economy coupled with the fact that my car even tells me how many miles I can go til empty is almost dangerous.

I think you'll make it. FX.
My concern is that the cheaper gas stations here always have a line to get gas, so I worry I'll have to sit in line for too long and I'll run out of gas while sitting there.

O no, I need gas Car: 54 miles to empty I'm good
DH would be so ashamed
Pssh. My DH does this too, so he can't really fault me for doing it.
The thing that bugs me is that once my car turns on the low fuel light it won't tell me the mileage per gallon or distance to empty any more.

When I still have one bar and the gas light is on it will tell me... then after a while the bar starts blinking and it doesn't tell me anymore.
DH gets on me for letting the gas go that low, he says I am destroying the fuel pump and it will need to be replaced. I know he has a point... sometimes it is hard to stop for gas though. His tank is always at least half full.

I want my next car to have that feature. I'm notorious for driving on empty. DH says he has never been in my car without the light being on. Living on the edge!!

All the suggestions I have seen so far are good ones, but how about this awesome picture frame?
