Ideas for an 18th birthday present

interesting-items — Fri, 24 Jan 2014 06:19:35 GMT

Hi,

We need to buy an 18th birthday present. What kinds of presents are given nowadays to girls turning 18? The recipient is a friend of one of my kids, but not an extremely close friend.

Looking forward to your shedding some light on this.

Many thanks.

Do you have a budget?
The things I got for my 18th were jewelry, wallets, cosmetics and plush toys.

Try posting your question in the Community Spirit forum...that is the best place for this type of question as it is not really an ebay problem.

why not ask your kid

if it is her/ his friend surely they'd know what the birthday person wants / likes / needs ???

I wouldn't even want to guess what an 18 year wants these days.

Okay, I can guess, as this demographic seems to be into instant gratification, but I wouldn't publish my guesses here.

I've got 2 teen girls around that age and they love Anything... Dr Who, Anima/manga, driving the car (so anything for their car if they have one), jewellery, makeup, music (i-tunes card or something like that). My two have grand ideas of travel, so anything to do with travel.

Good luck!

Lyndal1838,

This is the Community Spirit forum. Did she post it on another one as well?

When my daughter turned 18yrs, I gave her money towards rego of her car and a few things she wanted for her car and as something to keep for herself, I gave her a gold bracelet.

Depends alot on what the girl likes, my daughter had just bought the car (second hand) and that at the time was her main interest.

The bracelet was a keepsake for turning 18yrs.

If money is no object, a nice red Ferrari would be great

It was originally posted on the Buying board, which is where I posted my answer.

It was moved from there to here on CS.
