Default Urgent! Graduation gift for my HUSBAND!?

yay for my hubby! He is graduating from college and just has this last week of classes!! I'm really proud of him but... suddenly I realized that I haven't gotten him a gift! What is a good idea for a gift? He is getting his bachelor's degree in Business Administration and accounting. He is a guy that doesn't really need anything and doesn't get "into" gifts, but it seems so wrong to not acknowledge this accomplishment. Any suggestions? We will be going out for his celebration dinner on Saturday. (and that is also valentines too). I could really use some help!

What about a really good messenger bag or brief case that doesn't look too brief casey?

That's a good idea, Darcy! I was going to suggest a pocket protector. LMAO!

My DH is graduating soon with his MBA, so I was thinking for his gift I'd get him a really nice shirt with cufflinks...something much fancier than he's been wearing to school.

Cuff links, an engraved money clip, a really nice pen/pencil set with a case.

Congrats to your man Julie! That's so awesome!!

When I graduated from my college, David and I went out as my gift! And I mean out out, not just dinner or a movie. We went to dinner, then he took me shopping and let me pick something out, then to a Trans Siberian Orchestra concert (I graduated in August 2006 and walked in the November commencement, so it was Christmastime) and then out for dessert.

I now associate graduation with that wonderful date too

How about a frame for his degree for his office? They have cool ones that are personalized with your school, etc., in most campus bookstores.
