18th birthday gifts for girls!? HELP

DeFuckingLightful · 08/06/2022 18:12

SO- I am the WORST big sister ever. It’s my baby sisters 18th birthday; TOMORROW!! I have no excuse as to why I forgot, just a very busy home life and she lives very far away. Can you lovely people please suggest something I can order her that will be delivered tomorrow!? Amazon gifts look quite tacky, she’s not a big fan of jewellery and my mind is just blank! Thank you very much in advance!

How about a voucher for something you can do together that is a passion of hers or a hobby?

You haven't mentioned a budget so not sure what you're looking to spend. If it was a token gift to keep plus money could you get a nice photo frame and pop to Boots and get a photo of the two of you printed?

Tickets to something she would enjoy seeing maybe? A alcohol hamper? What’s your budget?

Honestly cash is what they want! However as if you want her to have something could you get some flowers delivered with a promise of a spa treatment, nails done or meal out.

I can do around £50 give or take. @Someaddedsugar Lovely suggestion but we very very rarely see each other, so not sure how we could make this happen. The picture is a great idea that I hadn’t thought of!
@Sarah3587 alcohol hamper is also a good one, another thing that hasn’t crossed my mind!

@mumonthehill yes I was thinking maybe a just a bank transfer but I feel it’s not enough for the big 18! At least I’ve got you lot for some good inspiration!

Some sort of subscription? I got a lovely book one for my last big birthday but there are loads of different sorts.

Few months subscription to a beauty box?

Thank you you lovely lot, I ordered her a cocktail set with a personalised cocktail glass, my favourite photo of us in a beautiful personalised photo frame, and transferred £20 ‘for hair or nails or whatever you want to treat yourself too’ to make up for the fact the presents are going to be a little late x
