When a special someone’s 18th birthday is coming up, it can be hard to find the perfect gift. Instead of buying something off the shelf, why not make something that speaks from your heart? Here are some ideas for how to make a great gift for an 18th birthday.
1. Create a scrapbook or photo album: Gather photos and mementos of your time together and create a beautiful book with captions or stories alongside each page. It will be an invaluable keepsake they can look back on in years to come!
2. Paint them their own artwork: Whether you’re gifted at painting or just want to try something new, creating art for someone else is always very meaningful. Choose colors that reflect their personality, and write them a heartfelt message on the back!
3. Give them an experience: Think about what they would love to do – go skydiving, take cooking classes, etc – then buy tickets or vouchers so they can enjoy it when the time comes! It could also be as simple as taking them out for dinner somewhere fancy or going on vacation together- whatever you think would really show how much you care!
4. Make them a playlist: Music has such power over our emotions - compile songs that remind you of your friendship/relationship into one long mix tape which they can listen to whenever they need cheering up! To add an extra personal touch consider writing notes beside each song explaining why it was included in the list .
5. Put together a “survival kit”: Fill a box with items like snacks (their favorite chocolate bar), books (that have helped shape who they are today) , movies (to watch when feeling down), pens/stationery (for creative thoughts) and anything else that could help cheer them up during difficult times ahead ! This thoughtful gesture will last far beyond their 18th year .
No matter what kind of gift you decide on making for someone's special day , remember that it doesn't have to cost much money but should definitely come from the heart !
