Turning eighteen is serious stuff. Most young people see it as the final step into true adulthood, although the majority are nowhere near mature enough to actually deserve this label. But nevertheless, it does represent permission to do almost everything; you can buy alcohol and cigarettes, gamble, vote, get married without parental consent, get a credit card and watch and buy the highest-rated prescription cialis generic films available.

In short, for most people, leaping over the threshold of being eighteen represents true freedom and endless opportunity and in every case it should be celebrated appropriately. There is no better way to make the occasion outstanding and memorable than to make sure that you find the perfect gift for the birthday person: something unique and personal, which truly represents the poignancy of the event, as well as take some of the pressure off when it comes to buying 18th and even 18th birthday gifts!

However, this is, of course, easier said than done. Sometimes finding the perfect unique and personal gift can leave you at a loss. So here are some suggestions to make that special person’s big day just as extraordinary as they are.

For a lot of young people, the most exciting aspect of turning eighteen is the ability to buy alcohol and, without trying to endorse binge drinking culture, it is likely that the birthday person will want to go out and get absolutely trollied on the night of their special day. So why not present them with the most appropriate gift of all some alcohol to help them on their way?

Although this may sound rather impersonal, there are plenty of ways to make an alcoholic gift unique and specific to the recipient. For example, you can have your very own unique message printed in amazing full colour on a Personalised Bottle of Champagne. The Champagne itself is a beautiful blend of Pinot Noir, Meunier and Chardonnay created from the first pressing, the ‘premiere cuvee’, to guarantee extremely high quality. To make it even more personal, you can even present the birthday person with a vintage bottle of champagne from their year of birth.

If the recipient is a fan of the stronger stuff, then why not welcome them into the adult world with a set of 18th Birthday Shot Glasses? Each glass features a drinking-related command on the theme of an 18th birthday; they are guaranteed to get the celebrations going and make the birthday night out one to remember…or not, as the case may be!

Another gift that is guaranteed to be well received by the eighteen-year-old is an Engraved Crystal Tumbler and Whisky gift set, which contains a small bottle of whisky as well as a crystal tumbler. This can be personalised to make the birthday person feel that bit more special with a message of up to fifty characters.

If you are hesitant about encouraging the young drinker too blatantly on their special day, buy them something which they will always be able to put to good use, but which is less directly likely to send them to hospital by the end of the night! A Bottle Opener Key can be attached to a keyring and kept in a bag or pocket, being exactly the same size as a standard key. This will allow the lucky recipient to open a bottle wherever they are and whatever they are doing.

Some young people may be more excited about the prospect of legally being allowed to gamble on their birthday. If this is the case, you could treat them to a Poker Experience Day, which is suitable for complete poker novices. They are held throughout the UK at selected bar venues, where croupiers will introduce players to the rules of Texas Hold’em poker, with tips on how the professionals play. The birthday person will experience an exhilarating face to face, fun poker experience and will be guaranteed two games, with winners from the final game taking home a poker-related prize. This experience is also available for two people, so that the recipient can enjoy some familiar company throughout the day.

Hopefully, some of the pressure of finding the perfect present for this momentous occasion has now been relieved and you no longer feel so panicky about satisfying the birthday person on their special day. The best way to make the event as memorable as possible is to really personalise your gift and make it appropriate to the event, which is simply achieved using these suggestions. And now that’s out of the way, you can get on with planning the 18th and even 18th birthday gifts! These, of course, should in no way be neglected. These ideas can also be adapted to create wonderful 18th and 18th birthday gifts.
