HI fellow purse forumers! I need to buy a graduation gift for my daughter's boyfriend. I wasn't thinking of anything so elaborate but his mom got a really nice gift for my daughter (spa day for both of them with massages, facials, mineral pools, lunch, at a high end resort). I know it doesn't have to be tit for tat but I'm sure it cost well over $1k for both of them and they have been very kind and generous to my daughter - just took her on their vacation to a resort in the keys, invite her to their house for dinner at least 1-2 times a week, etc.
My original thought was a LV wallet bc his mom (who is very low key and not into designer stuff at all) made this comment to me recently: "R suddenly wants a Louis Vuitton duffle bag and i blame you" Lol
Clearly, I'm not purchasing a $2-4k duffle bag but thought a wallet could be good.
Then my daughter mentioned that he wanted an Oura ring (apparently they looked at them while in Best Buy) and told me to order that for him in the matte black, which i did. He's into fitness and works out so I guess this could be useful but also wonder if people really use longterm one the novelty wears off. I've also read that the Stealth color can scratch.
Then she texted me while they were in way home from the keys informing me that se saw him looking at LV wallets online from his phone and also thinks his current wallet is falling apart.
She also mentioned that they were looking at Ray-Ban meta AI sunglasses and that they were really cool. Apparently they can take pictures and short videos, play music, and answer questions like an Alexa or Google would. I just ordered a pair for my daughter and thought would be cute to add card that says, " you're future's so bright, you gotta wear shades" before she leaves for college in a couple of weeks (plus I keep trying to encourage her to wear sunglasses to no avail).
Overall, I feel the wallet may last the longest and seem more meaningful/timeless (especially if can personalize and have initials hot stamped) than something trendy but of course its also the most expensive option and not sure it would seem "appropriate " (though he's probably going to buy himself one anyway). I'm attaching photos of the one we liked along with a Burberry one i just found online that we really like as well. I think my daughter likes the Burberry one best but I suspect he may not even be familiar with the brand so may not seem as exciting to him as the LV.
Sorry this is so long, please share your thoughts.
