In many countries, including Slovenia, the eighteenth birthday marks an important dividing line - it is the day we come of age, which gives us certain rights and responsibilities. This birthday is therefore one of the most important anniversaries in life, and certainly the most important of those that are not exactly jubilees.
It is no wonder that coming of age is hardly anticipated by teenagers, who mark it with an unforgettable celebration.
And of course, a memorable celebration also means memorable gifts, so it''s important to make sure that you get the perfect 18th birthday present for your friend or girlfriend in time for this festive occasion.
Funny and fun gifts
As it is a very specific anniversary, the gift needs to be chosen even more carefully than otherwise. The 18th birthday is something special, only the 50th and then the 100th can be compared to it, while other birthdays are mostly not very different from the previous one and the next one. This means that we will choose a very special gift to celebrate our coming of age. This is also the custom, as evidenced by the shelves full of products for this celebration - mostly gifts that are otherwise aimed at young people, especially funny and fun gifts, but also those that are marked 18+. These are the most popular choices for 18th birthday celebrations among friends who want a funny gift to brighten up their celebrations. However, the first day of coming of age shouldn''t be just a party - it''s an important milestone on the road to adulthood. It is therefore appropriate to choose a more serious, prestigious gift, especially if you are not closely related to the recipient or are not his or her peers. It is also important on this occasion to have a personalised gift, i.e. one that is specifically tailored to the celebrant and the occasion - this can be achieved with special greetings and cards, or by choosing a gift that itself allows for the addition of inscriptions and other optional extras.
If choosing an 18th birthday present is too difficult, we can still go for the classic solutions, and there are some popular choices that have already been established especially for this special occasion. Gift vouchers, organised trips, even a car - these are gifts that are not even rare on the coming of age. Of course, there are always the eternal classics, such as chocolate. Chocolate gifts themselves are also a wide variety of 18th birthday presents. If nothing else, the birthday boy or girl will be delighted by a chocolate bar that is more suitable for adults than children - one that weighs a whopping three kilogrammes!
