What are you getting or got them for their 18th other than a car or money?
Really need ideas … thanks! |
|
A photo album? A letter? Something else personal. Otherwise, just give money.
A small toolkit is useful for college, maybe you could use that as a metaphor in a letter. |
| How about a nice watch? |
He has the iwatch |
Found a keepsake keyring online with a coin made in 2008 attached |
|
My gift to him will be that I no longer harp on him since he is a legal adult! I hope I can keep my own promise.
I am also planning to leave him alone for long stretches of time, I bet he’ll love it (unless he goes away to college). |
| Tickets to a sporting event. |
| Tickets to a Broadway show and a session of improv classes per his request. Surely your son has interests that you can find personalized gifts for. If not - Amazon gift card. |
Me too, but that’s not a nice watch. How about a nice Datejust? https://www.rolex.com/en-us/watches/datejust#cfg/datejust/m126334-0028/dial |
| We bought my son a new set of golf clubs |
That’s cringe Get him a patek. You never own a patek, you just look after it for the next generation A classy calatrava that he can wear for the most special of occasions and then pass on to his children. |
| Luggage |
| Is he going to college in the fall? Are there things he'll need? XL sheets? Gas cards if he's taking a car with him? Suitcases if he'll be flying back and forth? Small tool kit or first aid kit? |

Want to share a unique, fun idea to gift someone that we recently did:
Lawless Forge in Sterling, VA https://lawlessforge.com/sterling We took a class and created/forged chopsticks although there are other class options to make other things. It was so different and so much fun! A great experience. And the folks who run the classes were so nice and encouraging. A gift certificate to a class here is now my new go-to gift for young adults. I guess I could gift it to anyone but so far that is who I have given this to. |
| I like to give memories for milestone birthdays. I took my firstborn to an NFL game at the home stadium of his favorite team. |
