I have a small dilemma with grandnephews and savings bonds.

A few years ago, I came into a small sum of money. With part of it, I bought my two grandnephews one $500 savings bond each. My original plan was that each of them would get the bond upon his graduation from high school. The money could be used toward whatever they and their parents saw fit.

The older boy will graduate from high school next year. His brother will be three years later. My question is, do I stick with my original plan or do I give both of them their bonds at the same time. If I wait, the younger will end up with a bigger gift. But if I don’t, the original purpose of it being a graduation gift is gone. I’m fairly sure there won’t be any hard feelings between the boys either way, although my sister (their grandma) might comment on it if she realizes the difference in amount.
