Get the Grad Gift You Want With Deposit a Gift [Web Spy]

By Laura Dondero

The school year is almost over, and many of you may be graduating! At this exciting time in your life, you have lots of things to focus on — one of the most important being, of course, what you want as your graduation gift.

I’ve heard of lots of different types of graduation gifts, including trips, cars, new computers, housewares and furniture for your new apartment, suits for interviews and more. And while all of those things are great, let’s be honest. When it really comes down to it, there’s one thing that all of us want more than any iPad or trip to Europe — just old fashioned cash. Because if you had a bit of money, you’d be able to cover your first few rent checks or student loan bills and possibly still have enough leftover to buy a little somethin’ somethin’ for yourself.

This is where Deposit a Gift comes in handy. Deposit a Gift is a gift registry of sorts, similar to a wedding or baby shower registry. You can register for anything you’d like, and those you send your registry to can make monetary contributions to it. The money that your guests deposit is accessible in your personal account whenever you want.

Deposit a Gift is great if you have one big thing in mind, like a trip or a down payment for a car, but it’s also great if you just need the cash. You can even put your everyday expenses on your list, such as groceries, gas, or rent! Whatever you want or need the money for, Deposit a Gift is your answer.
