18th Gifts That'll Grant Their Birthday Wish

Granting wishes seems like something out of a fairytale

. The princess went to the ball, found her prince charming after a few ups and downs and all was good in the world again. 18th birthday gifts that evoke the same kind of unrivalled happiness are also possible, thanks to personal gifts that are anything but generic. Unfortunately you might not have a fairy godmother or a genie in a magic lamp to grant it for you, but splashing a bit of cash or using a bit of imagination to show you really care can go just as far. So instead of getting a usual gift for this special occasion, it's time to rack your brains and find a gift that really can make an 18 year olds dream come true, even if they didn't know they had one.

The first thing to do is to get inside the mind of your 18 year old. What do they like? What are their hobbies? What would make their minds explode with excitement? No matter what the answers to these questions are, you can be sure there will be some kind of gift or experience that will make their eyes pop at how totally awesome it is.

Some special #18 birthday gifts need not cause you to empty the contents of your wallet. A football fan who can't wait to get down to the pub with his mates when he turns 18 would like nothing more than his own table football game, free to play and only a few metres from the fridge. Bringing the pub to him would surely make his head spin with the brilliance of it and you can be sure your house would be the new regular meeting spot for all his friends.

Animal lovers can think of nothing better than conserving the planet and protecting the environment. They love cuddly koala bears and fluffy rabbits and maybe even some of the more strange yet fascinating creatures that walk amongst us. Adopting a polar bear or a penguin is a great idea for those who turn soft at the mere thought of cuteness.

For those who want to go all out to grant birthday wishes, you can wave your magic wand in the direction of experience days. You might think this involves all manner of scary thrill seeking activities (which it sometimes does), but there are surreal days made for practically every taste you can imagine, which is why they make great 18th birthday gifts.

For those who passed their driving tests with flying colours and are mad about motor sports, driving experience days are fantastic. Upgrading from the family estate to a Lamborghini or a Lotus Exige is rather like Aladdin being granted his flying carpet as the preferred mode of transportation. They will definitely thank you for it. If super cars are somehow not up there on the wish list, rally driving or 4x4 extreme days might be if your 18 year old is a little rougher around the edges.

There are great 18th birthday gifts for those who might not always appreciate cars, such as members of the female sex, who may like to go to a palace of dreams, also known as a chocolate workshop. Whilst girls would normally pick out a chocolate or two, at a chocolate workshop they could learn all the skills of the trade and we can guarantee that they would literally be in heaven.

There are plenty more ideas for great 18th birthday gifts that could grant someone's wish. Have they ever been to a London West End theatre before? Do they want to be pampered for a day at a leading health spa? Is their dream to learn how to fly?

The only problem with giving experience days as gifts is that it's quite likely you will feel quite jealous when your 18 year old heads off in their helicopter to see the sights from the skies. After they have a hair and beauty makeover you might be tempted to also book yourself in for one a few days after, just so they don't put your outdated hairdo to shame. Whatever you choose to give them to grant their birthday wish, if you put a bit of thought into it, their face will be a picture of happiness and excitement. It may even have a distinctly windswept and watery look if you've just sent them on a white water rafting trip. But we can assure you they will never forget it.
