I'd get her something for a teacher but not an ornament or anything else related to Christmas since she's Jewish.\nTry http://www.teachergifts.com/  Or you could just get her a gift certificate to a teacher's store. That way she can get what she wants. She'd probably appreciate it because she probably ends up buying some supplies for the classroom with her own money.

How about a present from the Oxfam Xmas catalogue. $150 can buy something that will benefit a whole community in Africa or India.\nWithout being too presumptuous, as they are both doctors I doubt they really need anything. \n\nI was bought a goat for an African village last Christmas and a bicycle for a midwife to use for my birthday and thought they were the best and most thoughtful presents. \nOxfam sends out a card thanking the person and explaining what their gift means to those in need.

I would get them a card for sure. You could get them a little holiday themed plushie. Those are always cute and my friends love them. Those can be easily found almost anywhere. My friends also like the little bottles of Bath and Body Works stuff. It fits inside purses and the stuff they have is great! They usually go for about $2.50 a bottle, and sometimes they have special sales. They have a lot of different types, so it's pretty fun. Inexpensive jewelry is nice too. Claire's offers a lot of that.\n\nHope this helps!

Do NOT focus on the fact that she's Japanese when buying a present. It's like assuming that since you're American you only eat fast food. \n\nFor a teacher you should find a pretty figurine, a snow globe, or something that would look good on a desk... Maybe you can get a nice pen engraved with her name or a thank you message.\n\nWhatever you get make sure to write a well thought out thank you note and wrap the gift with plenty of care.\n\nThe gift isn't actually as important as the thought behind it.

something tasteful and personal, but not too personal. Lik a gift basket or something. Don't give the female bath products. Try tea and cookies instead. For the guy, some small tech thing is usually welcomed. you can get nice stuff of this nature without spending too much, too. www.gifts.com can help, too

A bridesmaid/groomsman gift that I've seen and thought was cool was pocket bartender from Sharper Image.  I've seen them other places too.  Would fit the laid back and alcohol aspects.

There's plenty of graduation cards at the drugstore.  I had to think of something similar for my cousin who graduated from law school.  I just got him a fancy clock for his desk from Z Gallerie.

Perhaps you could give him a usb drive (thumb drive) so he can save his class notes on any available computer and always have them available, without toting a lot of extra weight.  Many are on sale now from $20.00 (256 MB) and up.

Well, if you ever need to get them a present, take a look at "The Duct Tape Book". I included a link to it on Amazon.

You can make a "gift certificate book." Each certificate could be something different like, "A Free Massage," "Home Made Dinner of his choice," "Breakfast in Bed," etc.\n\nOr if you've been with him for a while, you can make him a scrapbook with photos, magazine cut outs, inside jokes, movie/concert ticket stubs, etc... \n\nBe creative :)

I wouldn't spend more than $50.00 dollars. Some traditional gift ideas are money clips, cuff links, a pocket watch, and etc. You can also give him a gift card to his favorite store or restaurant.

I think graduation gifts are sometimes the hardest to shop for.  Do you get the grad a fun gift they will enjoy, or a practical gift they need and will use?  Though impersonal, gift cards are sometimes the best option so they can get what they want.  My friend's mom coordinated his gifts by registering at a store for things he would need for college life.  The cool part was that most of his gifts were wrapped in new bath towels or washcloths that he would need as he moved out on his own.  Another gift he got was like an assorted gift basket of different items, but put in a new laundry basket.  If your friend is planning on moving to a college dorm or out on his/her own after graduation, household items might be a good idea.  One gift I got when I graduated high school was personalize stationary with envelopes and stamps and a phone card so I could "keep in touch".  I don't know if a guy would go for that though...  Whatever you decide, make sure there is a lot of thought behind the gift.  You can even "dress up" a gift card by putting it in a CD you know he'll like.  Good luck!
