Birthday Present Gift Idea For 18 Year Old
I love this Birthday Present Idea for an 18 year old! When my niece was turning 18 I decided to think of a Birthday Present Gift Idea for her that would really make her feel special. I thought outside of the box and came up several ideas. I hope that you can find these ideas useful! Turning 18 is a BIG deal and I wanted her to feel special. So I put my thinking cap on and came up with these ideas. I hope this Birthday Present Gift Idea for an 18 year old helps you celebrate the special young adults in your life too.
Birthday Present Gift Idea For 18 Year Old:
Giving 18 birthday gifts that represent the official journey to “adulthood” was something that I hope she will never forget. My first idea was to put together a gift basket full of items that are nostalgic for when you turn 18. Many were inexpensive and some were even free! Make a budget and stick to it. Have fun and trust me so will your 18 year old when they open it.
Here are the 18 Gifts For 18th Birthday that I came up with. Feel free to use any of these ideas or tweak them to suit your needs.
#1 – Now that you are 18 you can join the military. I am going to suggest that you continue with your college plans instead 😉
#2 – Now that you are 18 you can join the KY organ donor registry.
#3 – Now that you are 18 you can register to vote! It is YOUR right.
#4 – Now that you are 18 you can open a bank account. We started you off with $100. 😊
#5 – Now that you are 18 you are LEGALLY responsible for yourself. As in, you can go to jail. Be sure you take this responsibility seriously. Here is a pen to sign all your “legal” documents.
#6 – Now that you are 18 you can watch “R” rated movies without an adult. Enjoy one on us!
#7 – Now that you are 18 you can buy Fireworks!
#8 – Now that you are 18 you can get your passport without parent conscent! Woo Hoo! Finally!
#9 – Now that you are 18 you can go Sky Diving! Or you might want to start with a good book 😊
#10 – Now that you are 18 you can purchase Spray Paint.
#11 – Now that you are 18 you can go to concerts and festivals. (But no skipping classes to attend 😉)
#12 – Now that you are 18 you can get married BUT let’s hold off on that for at least 5 years 😊
#13 – Now that you are 18 you can get piercings. How about you stick to the ears 😉
#14 – Now that you are 18 you can go to the Night Club. No drinking but a night of dancing can be fun!
#15 – Now that you are 18 you can buy lottery tickets! A tip – don’t waste your money but if the power ball gets big it is always fun to play.
#16 – Now that you are 18 you can be summoned to serve on Jury Duty.
#17 – Now that you are 18 you are an “adult” but don’t forget to have fun and dance like nobody is watching.
#18 – Now that you are 18 you can PAWN your jewelry or other items. My suggestion is NOT do that.
We also created this poster to decorate her bedroom door. We came up with the list of words that describe her using the first letters of her name. It was neat to see our 14 year old son join in on this project. There are never enough opportunities to tell your teens how much you love them.
Another idea is to collect 18 cards from friends and family. I did this for my niece and she loved it! The cards were filled with advice, uplifting words and kind words. She really appreciated each one and so did I. I just asked on Facebook for friends and family to send cards to her and had 18 people volunteer.
Finally, I gave her the book Dear Girl, by Amy Rosenthal. It is truly a beautiful book for girls. It would be perfect for a little girl but a wonderful reminder as your teen enters adulthood as well. I inscribed the book and hope it is a keepsake she will treasure.
As you can see I really wanted to spoil our birthday girl but create meaningful gifts too. I hope these ideas help you create the perfect Birthday Present Gift Idea For An 18 Year Old.

Thank you for recommending Dear Girl. It is really a timeless book for all of us girls. I hope that my granddaughter will sense that and will not popoo the “childish” book.
My daughter loved the book. It is a great keepsake 🙂
Thank you for the wonderful ideas.
I wanted to thank you for this amazing idea and for sharing the cute sayings! I have to admit I used some of them. My son just turned 18 and I did this for him. It was a hit and it engaged everyone that was there! He loved it!
That is awesome! I am glad he loved it!
Thank you for such fine and fun suggestions. This will make a great gift for my son.
