18th Birthday present!
Hi
We have several (!) family and friends, boys and girls who will be 18 in the next few months, and I am struggling to come up with present ideas! My daughter says that no one wants the "keepsake " type of presents we were given, but I would like to mark such a special event with something a bit more special than my usual vouchers! Anyone got any bright ideas?

Re: 18th Birthday present!
How about something that goes with an interest? If they like cooking a really nice knife; theatre vouchers for the arty reader; match tickets for the sporty one; a pen for the scribbler.
Sometimes an experience is just as nice a keepsake as a tankard!!

A young persons railcard would be practical especially if off to uni soon.

Re: 18th Birthday present!
The idea of really good kitchen stuff for someone who likes to cook and might ge off to uni could be a big hit.
Re: 18th Birthday present!
Or a classic cook book - from basics to entertaining inc cuts of meat etc. Lots available on web these days but still good to have a 'standard' on the shelf.
We also found in several cases either the young person or parent was 'collecting' for something bigger. At least they then got something they wanted.
