Acceptable graduation gift to ask for?
I'm graduating 8th grade on the 23rd of May and there's going to be a big ceremony and all that good stuff. When we were shopping yesterday I asked her if I could get something and she said "ok, but its going to be part of your gift." So I didn't get it. I didn't even know I was getting a present, well I didn't really think about it. I don't know what is too much to ask for? I really want an iphone 4s (I thought the 5 would be too much to ask) but i don't know if that is an alright thing to ask for as a gift? Right now my phone doesn't have sound & I can't use headphones, plus its cracked, so I really need a new one.
Then ask for a phone…
It might depend on who 'her' is. Your girlfriend, your mother, your aunt, your pet spaniel?
Just be like, "so (whoever her is) you know that gift you mentioned? Yeah we'll I'd really really appreciate a new phone because mines awful! I was thinking maybe an iPhone 4S?"
You never ask for a gift. Wait until your graduation and be surprised what you get. Then be grateful.
I'm assuming that "her" is your mom and she is aware of the condition of your phone. If she's not, you might point it out to her. It's usually very expensive to replace a phone if your contract isn't ready for an upgrade.
IMO an iPhone is way too expensive for a middle school "graduation". You're not really graduating; you're being promoted.
- Why didn't I get a graduation gift? So I promoted from 8th grade, and I know I may sound selfish, or spoiled, but honestly i just don't know why. I see all these pictures on instagram showing themselves with flowers, new iphone, presents, money. All I got was good job… I don't understand, not even a card. For sixth grade promotion I didn't get anything either, just getting a good job. Did I do something wrong?
- What should i ask for for 8th grade graduation? I already have a tablet/ipad, computer, xbox, wii. I want an iphone but i don't know if my parents will get me one. I wanted a trampoline but my mom said absolutely not. So any ideas?
- What should I ask as a graduation gift? I just graduated from university and my father wants go buy me a graduation gift up to 500 dollars. There's nothing I really need right, except from money but he says he really wants to buy me a gift. I need a phone so I thought I'd ask for an iphone because I never had one, but a phone is something that I won't have in 10 years. What would be a good gift to ask that would last for life?
- Was thinking of a big gift to ask for for christmas? I always ask for a big gift for christmas and I don't know what to ask for this year. In past years i have asked for and Xbox one, computer, and an iphone 5. Any ideas? (TV is out of the question)
