Is [the perfect grad gift]( an actual thing? Based on my personal experience, it absolutely is. For example, I still have the [stereo]( my parents gave me for my high school graduation, which has now followed me to not just four years' worth of dorm rooms, but also to nine different real-world apartments and houses. And that's not even the only perfect gift I received on that occasion: I also still have the Talking Heads album given to me by a family friend who wanted me to have something to play on that stereo. I've since upgraded it from a cassette to a CD to MP3, but the album has stayed with me in spirit through all my different eras so far. Which just goes to show that yes, the perfect gift is out there, and you don't even necessarily have to spend a lot of money—provided the gift is something classic and is paired thoughtfully to the recipient.
