Ah, 18…an age which is supposed to represent maturity and entry into adulthood. Of course, this doesn’t mean newly legal adults want sensible gifts that ignor their inner child.

Obviously numbered and personalised gifts are a regular choice as 18th birthday gifts as people like to mark the significant birthday with a memento. Gifts such as ‘18′key necklaces, mugs and key fobs however seem a little obvious and clich© these days , so why not get your son or daughter a personalised gift that is that little bit different?

A bottle of personalised vodka is sure to go down well now that your child is now legally allowed to drink! Having their name on the bottle and presentation box should also urge them to savour the contents instead on binging through the entire bottle in one night (£25 approx) Not a vodka fan? Personalised bottles of wine are also available.

Your daughter or son is bound to love a personalised calendar (£10 approx) which you can fully customise with pictures of their friends. Look for recent photos on their Facebook profile so that you can surprise them with this useful

Newspapers from the day of a persons birth are increasingly popular as birthday presents and are often presented in attractive presentation cases too. Each comes with a certificate of conformation for authenticity indicating that the paper as an original as such; newspapers from significant historic dates may come with an additional surcharge due to their value. (£40 approx)

A nice gift idea is to pen your own personalised message in a bottle to your son or daughter. You can do obviously arrange this yourself but paying a gift company to print your message and provide an attractive bottle should ensure that it is a gift which will be cherished by your 18 year old forever.
