How to choose the right gift for a guy 18 years old
18 years is a very important date for a young person - the threshold of growing up.

Memorable gifts from grandmother for coming of age
Almost every person on the planet associates grandma with something warm and cozy, and for some, grandma evokes memories of childhood and summer holidays. Perhaps the grandmother no longer follows fashion and modern technological progress, but her gifts always carry warmth and care, which is why they are so memorable and important for a teenager. An excellent option for a memorable gift for a grandson on his 18th birthday would be the following ideas:
- Warm sweater, socks, scarf, gloves. Ordinary items of clothing, but they are knitted by hand, so they are priceless. Such a surprise from your grandmother will give you warm memories and pleasant emotions for many years.
- A photo album in which you can place memorable photos. This gift option is also perfect for an adult grandson.
- Often grandmothers give family treasures that are passed down from generation to generation. Such a gift is filled with deep meaning and memory of past generations. It is worth treating such gifts with great importance.
- If a grandmother cannot choose a gift, she most often consults with her grandson’s parents. To give a good present, you can jointly choose expensive equipment that will be useful to a teenager.
- Also, grandmothers often give money so that the grandson can choose a gift on his own. It is worth understanding that what is more important for a grandmother is not material values, but wise advice, instructions and kind words.
Gift ideas for the guy who has everything
It can be very difficult to choose a good gift for a young man who already has everything he could dream of. However, even if it seems that all possible options have either already been given as a gift or will not make the right impression, you can find several optimal solutions. So, for example, a guy will be pleased to receive as a gift from a girl:
- men's bouquet with snacks;
- board game;
- personalized piggy bank;
- joint portrait;
- personalized leather diary.
Milk chocolate is a feminine weakness
Eating sweets gives girls great pleasure, but they often deny themselves extra cake in order to maintain a slim body. Let the lady of your heart take a break from worrying about her figure at least for a day and feed your beloved the most delicious chocolates and cakes!
A man can present:
- Sweets cake. Making confectionery is not your thing, but you want to please your loved one with a sweet surprise? Then make a cake from chocolate bars and candies. Take a piece of cardboard, make a heart-shaped box out of it, cover the outside with Kinder bars and fill it with a variety of sweets: Rafaello candies, Kinder Surprise chocolate eggs, Milky Way bars. If a young lady is partial to milk chocolate, such a product will delight her.
- Sweet card. Surely you have prepared a lot of pleasant words for your beloved. Then turn them into a gift! Take a piece of Whatman paper and write a congratulation on it, replacing some words with chocolate bars glued to the paper. For example, “I want us to be inseparable, like Twix. You are my Miracle".
When your beloved looks at the gift with sparkling eyes, do not forget to tell her that even such a mountain of sweets cannot spoil her amazing figure.
What can you do with your own hands?
What a person values most about gifts is not the cost, but the time spent searching for and creating the gift. Based on this statement, we can draw a logical conclusion - a gift made with your own hands will be an ideal congratulation and will be remembered for a long time. The main thing is to bring together all your skills and abilities and direct them to create a masterpiece surprise. You can do it with your own hands:
- checkbook of desires;
- cake or cupcakes;
- a blanket from your favorite T-shirts;
- panels of joint photos;
- video clip.
Colorful addition to a gift in the form of a postcard: three interesting ideas made from paper
Postcard using scrapbooking technique
To make this New Year's card with your own hands, you will need several types of bright scrap paper, which can be purchased at specialized craft stores.
Glue together several cylinders of different lengths from pieces of paper and lay them out in descending order - from the bottom to the top tier. You will get a motley Christmas tree in the form of a three-dimensional pyramid. Glue the cylinders together and glue the composition to the base of the card.
You can decorate the Christmas tree with a paper star decorated with sparkles and special pebbles for creativity with metal clips - brads.
Volumetric postcard “Winter Tunnel”
If you want to surprise your loved one with a non-standard creative solution, stop at this multi-layered craft.
Making this voluminous New Year's card with your own hands takes place in several stages.
First you need to cut out images of a winter landscape - for example, snowdrifts, a snowman, a Christmas tree, a house and clouds. For the base, you should take two sheets of thick cardboard, cut out a round “window” on one of them, in which the entire composition will be visible.
We cover the bottom sheet with blue paint, and glue the cut out clouds on top. There should be snowdrifts underneath them. To create a volume effect, glue a thin foam sheet or several cotton pads between the base and the picture.
Using the same method, you can create volume between other layers of parts - for example, you can stick a house and a Christmas tree on snowdrifts, then another snowdrift, and a snowman on top.
At the end, we place a sheet of cardboard with a “window”, securing it in the same way. The entire composition should fit in the cut hole.
Crafts using the quilling technique
Using this simple technology, you can decorate a postcard with a voluminous Christmas tree with toys.
Take several multi-colored strips of quilling paper and wrap them around a toothpick - these will be Christmas tree decorations in the shape of balls.
To make a Christmas tree, stock up on green stripes and also make twisted “snails” out of them. To make them resemble spruce branches, bend them in three places to create three-dimensional triangles.
On a cardboard base, place green triangles and multi-colored balls in the form of a triangular Christmas tree, alternating them with each other. In the same way, make a star out of five triangles and one ball, placing it on the top of the tree.
You can make a fluffy Christmas tree using small transverse cuts along the entire length of each strip. The resulting balls will be fluffy and more voluminous. You can use this method only for spruce branches or for Christmas tree decorations.
Using quilling techniques, you can depict a snowman, snowflake and other winter compositions on a postcard or add such elements to other crafts.
In addition to these options, there are many opportunities to give a gift to your loved one for the New Year in the form of a card using pieces of fabric, buttons, beads, ribbons, cotton wool, threads and even just paints using a palm print in the form of Santa Claus.
How to give money for a birthday in an original way?
It is likely that the 18-year-old boy is collecting money for a big purchase or the fulfillment of one of his wishes. In this case, a very good option is to give a certain amount of money. However, such a gift is also best presented in an original and unusual way, so that a simple transfer of money becomes a real gift. Here is our selection of options for unusual ways to give money:
- balloons with money inside;
- money crown (for this you need to make a frame out of cardboard and attach rolled-up banknotes with paper clips to the frame);
- book-safe with money;
- bouquet with banknotes;
- money picture.
What kind of surprise can you arrange?
Ideas for an unusual New Year's gift to give to your loved one:
- romantic dinner;
- private dance;
- a film about a loved one;
- a song recorded in a studio;
- quest to find gifts;
- visiting a hookah bar.
Give your chosen one an unexpected but pleasant surprise. If you are used to giving each other classic gifts and celebrate each New Year at home, surprise your spouse with an unusual holiday scenario. Go to the skating rink on New Year's Eve, have dinner at a restaurant on the roof of a high-rise building, prepare a romantic evening or invite friends to an 80s-style party. The main thing is that your loved one appreciates your efforts and remembers this New Year as the most unusual holiday.
There is something sweet, heartfelt and touching about homemade gifts. Give your loved one a hand made surprise for the New Year to show how much you appreciate and value them. If you have a little free time, you don’t need to go to the store for eau de toilette or a tie, which you give your man for every holiday. Show creativity, imagination, put love into your surprise and surprise your man with a unique gift.
Examples of unsuccessful gifts
If your beloved guy invited you to celebrate his birthday, then it is important not only to choose the right gift, but also to refuse to buy obviously unsuccessful gifts. Such surprises include:
- home textiles;
- underwear;
- bath and shower products;
- pet;
- Stuffed Toys.
