If you're a teacher - \nMy cooperating teacher gave me things I could use in my classroom such as an apple shaped timer, reward stickers, a please sign and return stamp, etc. You could get her things like that. I know I really appreciated it.\n\nIf you're a student- \n\nShe'll love if you make her a card and write something sweet in it, what you liked best that she did, etc.

Give her a package of special writing paper with envelopes.  Address some of the envelopes with your own name and address and put the stamps on them so she can easily write to you to keep in touch.  Also a scrapbook with pictures of things you did together, special souvenirs, etc.

Buy her a beautiful frame or plaque to show her diploma off.  Or you could take her out for a night of just plain fun, just to get away from the stress of finding a new job. Or depending on her degree, you may get something for her that pertains to what she will be doing, like a briefcase-for business, stethascope-nurse, etc.  congrats to your friend and good luck with your gift buying, your a good friend.

Gift certificate sounds good or just give her money.  I also like the idea of buying her a cd of her fav artist or a nice outfit or shoes she might like.

Well, you have another month to go so I wouldn't shop too early!  But I think the gift should depend on how committed you are or if you see this as a long term relationship.  What does she like to do?  Does she read?  If so find out what type of books.  If you know what kind of perfume she wears that would be nice.  Maybe a certificate for a spa day.

Something academic - Border's gift cards, maybe gift cards to Office Max or some such place (a lot of teachers buy stuff for the classroom and pay out of pocket, you know?).  Maybe give them something homemade that will represent what you learned from them - a piece of artwork, CD of some music you performed, a nicely bound poetry book or collection of short stories you wrote, models of molecules you studied...

You could get her a copy of "Oh, the Places You'll Go!" by Dr. Seuss. It's fun and very encouraging. Traditionally it's a gift for graduation but it kind of sends the message that you're very proud of her accomplishment.

I'm the type of person that doesn't like to just give someone a simple old gift, I like to make it a little more exciting than that. Here is one idea. Hopefully you have some time before her birthday. This is what I would do if you have about a month or a little less time before her birthday. Each day, for 21 days, give her a small gift. This could be some makeup, a new purse, some cash, starbucks g/c, a day at the spa, cds, etc. Give her something for each day up until her birthday and then on her actual birthday give her something big, that she has wanted for a while, or something that she would like really like. You could give her a trip to Vegas or Atlantic City, or take her on a cruise, etc. This is where you would decide what to give her, what you think she would like the most.\n\nI think it would be especially neat if the little gifts added up to her final gift. You don't want it to be real obvious what it is going to be, but once she has everything you want her to be able to see the connection. Let's say you are going to give her a cruise. Okay, so you could give her some small (not travel size or it may be too obvious) lotions, shampoos, etc. you could buy her an MP3 player to listen to on the plane, some books, etc. Add things in that would be of interest to her, but also useful for her trip. You could even take her to the mall one day for a shopping trip and get her some pictures in one of those machines, then she could use the picture for her passport. Then on the day of her birthday you could take and wrap the cruise documents in a large box, like a sweeper box or something, then she will open it and it will just be the little envelope with the documents in it. You could also wrap her up a box and inside of it have a clue. You could create a map or use a real map that she has to use to find the next clue, give her hints where the clue is and then she has to hunt for it, it sounds  a little childish but because she will be going on a cruise I think it would still work. Plus, it will be a lot of fun for you and her.\n\nHope this helps!

Buy her a nice digital camera.... this summer will probably be the last time she'll see most of her HS friends.  It's a good way to keep the memories, and when she goes off to college (she is going, right?) it'll be nice to get pics from her through email once in a while......

Get her something she can use for the next four years: a purse, a bag, maybe one of those cute cartooned huggable pillows (I got that for my friend, and she loved it). A word of caution: avoid clothes. That's the hardest gift to shop for (expensive and also only for the advanced... =p)

I would say something for the school would be good. Something decorative, like a small statue or a poster that would go with the school decorations. Either that, or if you know there's something he needs, that's okay. If you know something about his extra-martial arts life, you could get him something for that. But if you try to get him something Martial Arts related just for him, he's either already going to have it or he's not going to need it. All in all, I don't know that I like the idea though. As a Martial Arts teacher myself, I like to give out gift certificates to my students to give away as presents, but I don't expect presents from them, and I don't have a Christmas party for exactly that reason.

Please refrain from buying any little knicknack with an apple, school desk, little book, blackboard, teaching poem etc. on it -  I work for a school system and too many of us get these from our students (some teachers have received hundreds of these little "teacher" gifts).  What about putting together a beautiful gift basket with bubble bath, lotion, bath gel, a candle, loofa and a pretty wine glass and a bottle of wine.  Put a thoughtful note  - something to the effect; "After a tough day teaching you deserve to relax and pamper" - "and after listening to small children whining and talking all day - have a little wine yourself".   I loved a similar gift I got from coworkers - and each time I took a long bath I remembered their kindness.

You could include a sports water bottle, a gift card to her favourite store, tickets to a movie, a new CD, some beauty products, or perhaps some sports apparel. Best of luck!

Write a 'thankyou' poem to show your appreciation or just give her a thankyou card if that's easier. And remember, a goodbye doesn't have to be forever, tell her you would like to keep in touch.  It's so important to show appreciation where it's deserved, sure ur teacher will be touched by your kind/sincere gesture.

Well you could make her a fun surprise, first get a really useless or hilarious cheap gift and stay serious about it, let's say a used toothbrush. Then for the real gift i can't really help you because i don't know your friend, you are the ones friends with her so you know her better then any strangers here. I'd say a cd, or a necklace. Even if the real gift isn't great, she will just be happy she got something else then a used toothbrush.

if you are creative at all perhaps you could make her a scrapbook of things that you have done together (include pictures, movie stubs, concert tickets, plays that you have seen together, poems that you wrote for her, things that mean a lot to the both of you). Most girls would really appreciate the work and thought of a gift like that. If she is not that kind of girl, maybe an i pod or teddy bear with a gift certificate for a day at the spa, or to get her nails done.
