I have a friend whose son is also graduating from preschool soon and she is going all out....she is having a graduation party for him in a couple weeks.
I dont want to go that far, but am going to have a cake for DD tomorrow night and both sets of grandparents are coming. I want to make it special for her especially since my husband wont be there.
I want to get her a little present, but is that a silly thing to do? What do I get for a preschool graduation gift?

I edit often for clarity/typos.
Kids these days *graduate* from prek, K, sometimes 3rd grade, 5th grade, 8th grade, HS & College. My family agreed when it all started that we would only celebrate/gift the graduate at the HS grad level.
I strongly encourage people - especially those with large extended families - to talk about this kind of stuff early.
There will be Kg grad, possibly one each time you move to a new level of school, depending on your school system that can be every 3 years. That's a lot of graduations.
I have 2 in HS, and for the little ones, like this we had lots of pictures, and usually a special meal, going out to dinner with Grandparents. That was it.
Next year we have the whole HS Graduation thing, I'm not planning on having a big shindig. There is so much stuff the school does that I don't see a need.
We just had a very small immediate family gathering (10 people) with burgers and dogs. My DH and I gave him $40 to put in his piggy bank and a "congrats grad" balloon.
He was happy to hang out with his family and play with his cousin and baby sis.
And as tushnurse said, your DD will graduate K next year, and so on...
On the other hand, any excuse for a party, I say!
