Stuck for a special 18th present

So we’ve got various bits and pieces but nothing that says special for an 18th. He’s already got a decent amount of savings for uni next year from a well paying job so a lump some of money won’t be very exciting. Doesn’t want a watch. Not interested in driving lessons. Are premium bonds too boring for words? Any other ideas?

I am buying ds a Swiss army knife when he is 18.

He does have his Child Trust Fund coming too which is 4k so he doesn't need much.

DS was the same. We got him a 21st present instead, we did agree this in advance.

Is he a football supporter? We got a hospitality ticket for DS which included a hotel stay. Not cheap (£350 ish per person) but he loved it.

Not really enough of a fan for this, no.

The watch he didn't want for his 18th!

He picked a really nice one and we have agreed an engraving to go on the back
