My daughter just graduated and I sent out announcements to basically people on our holiday card list. Most are people that my husband grew up with or worked with, well we were shocked by their generosity. Then we had a small luncheon after graduation and she received gifts there also. We had family out of town that wanted to send gifts so I did an Amazon dorm list of things we were going to buy anyway. None of this was expected but I am so appreciative and thankful.
