Graduations have been happening all across the country since May. \u00a0Do you have a graduate in your household? \u00a0Last month I traveled to Oklahoma to see my niece graduate from Oklahoma University, it was an exciting event…despite hurricane warnings and flash floods! \u00a0Money is always appreciated by grads but gadgets are a little more fun to give!<\/p>\n
