18 year old token gifts

[CameraSly]

I'm after census of opinion please

I have several 18 birthdays coming up where token presents will be acceptable

I'm thinking of putting together a gift pack of things like anti spiking drinks scrunchies, straws etc as no doubt they'll all be experiencing night clubs etc for the first time soon.

So MN, good idea or not? Opinions please.

Token gifts often just mean more landfill, kind of the equivalent of party bags for kids. Give a token ten pounds instead, will be most more appreciated

I'd go something like Costa coffee gift cards or cinema vouchers etc.

I'd go for vouchers, cash or a lottery ticket /scratch card.

..

Brown beer tokens are very acceptable for 18 year olds!

It's a bit patronising tbh. I had zero interest in going to pub/clubbing at 18. I would have preferred a book voucher.

I actually think that's a really weird thing to give someone as a birthday present. I'm sure there are many other token gifts

No sorry your idea isn't great. Go with cash or a voucher as suggested above.

Ok.

Thanks everyone.

Cash or vouchers are highly appreciated at that age. You can make Smartsgow 3d video cards instead of usual ones as a nice adding, but that would be it from me.

Their birthday is an awful time to remind girls how at risk they are of sexual violence. Any time the rest is the year would be ok. Do these things even work?

Yeah that’s a bit of a rubbish idea - on your birthday, here this is to stop you getting spiked and date raped!

Those saying beer tokens - I have an 18 yr old who doesn’t drink alcohol.

just money or vouchers that can easily be spent

Oh don't do that as a pp said its their birthday but here's a "safety kit " just in case somebody wants to harm you down the pub. Give them a gift card instead,
