I'd say the monetary value would be secondary to the thought and love you put into the purchase. A well-chosen reasonably-priced gift she can have and hold for the rest of her life will always be more valuable to her than a high-priced trinket.
For example, my daughter wants to become a large animal vet (horses, cows etc), so I'd look at something like a very high quality vet's stethoscope. Then I'd chuck in a box of long vet's gloves and make a Dad joke about giving her a hand when she's elbow-deep in her work.

Had my quarterly teeth cleaning today. In addition to the usual 'water boarding' they added a new one, laser rays for the gums, claiming it reaches places the usual stuff can not.

Yep....that's my thought. We are leaning between $300.00 and $500.00. I don't think I'd give any less than $100.00 to other family members if they were graduating from college, so certainly a granddaughter gets more....Of course we could just put some of the receipts from the money we dished out to keep that VW running in a card. You know, the VW we "suggested" was not a good idea. She is graduating with high honors, (just a fraction of a point from highest honors), so maybe that's worth a few extra bucks too, she's worked hard!

I bought a new pair of sneakers yesterday, I wear size 13 4E so I’m limited to my choices but went with a pair that I have had before that are comfortable but they did tend to squeak.
