During the past several weeks I have been invited to several high school graduation parties.
I always wonder if I should be purchasing a gift instead offering the normal check. Checks are a good gift and if you want to make it better, give $2 more if you are too lazy to buy a card.
Many years ago upon graduating from high school, Roger Woeste and his wife gave me a Dopp Kit. I still have this gift and use it when I travel. As of today, this is the only high school graduation gift I can remember, so it means something to me.
What is a Dopp Kit? Reminiscent of the toiletry bags carried by American GIs. First produced by Charles Doppelt in the early 1900s, the Dopp kit was a popular alternative for packing such men's grooming essentials as deodorant, a razor, a comb, and cologne when traveling. The popularity and practicality of the Dopp kits resulted in their issuance to millions of new U.S. Army recruits during World War II.

Thank you Charles Doppelt for designing the best graduation gift.
