Giving a lei is a great gift that represents the host culture of Hawai'i and is fitting for most occasions, especially graduation. Lei can be made from almost anything.... foliage (and other natural materials) is more traditional and great for compost, but you can use almost anything, including paper, string, candy, and money. The fact that you made it yourself makes it even more special,  and online examples and tutorials are plentiful! Plumeria is one of my favorites because it's easy to make and easily found all over.

Use a hole punch in an unimportant corner of the gift card, then string onto some kind of cordage.  Reuse a lanyard or other string if you can, the gift is the card.  You can really personalize the gift even when the card isn't so costly by choosing someplace fitting for that person, whether that's Home Depot, Saver's, Starbucks, Foodland, or Subway.
