DD will be finishing her Ph.D. work by the end of May, and already has a j*b lined up to start in June.
DH and I would like to get her a gift to mark the occasion, but can't seem to think of anything special. She will probably need to improve her wardrobe, but will be making plenty of money to afford to do her own shopping once she sees what's typical at her site. She will likely want a new car within a year, but that's beyond our budget.
Her sister is going to get her a nice watch. (The new Ph.D. typically wears her running watch to the lab, and fashion-plate sister is appalled.) I think the watch is a good idea -- something nice that will likely last a long time. But she certainly doesn't need two new watches.
Any ideas?
