21st birthday present ideas

Help!
Ds is approaching 21. Grandparents are nagging me about what he wants. He's not bothered it's his 21st, ie happy with "regular" presents. But grandparents are traditional and want a special present to mark the occasion.

What did your sons get for their 21sts please?!

Mine got a watch. Designer, but don't ask me which as I can't remember 😆

A motorbike 🏍️ because that was the most useful thing he needed at the time and saved him time/money commuting.

But if it hadn't been that, it would have been premium bonds.

My brother had a grandfather clock.

Def not a motorbike but thanks for replying 😆

Premium bonds is a great idea. Old school that the G/Ps will really like I think. Thank you

A grandfather clock is a lovely idea, but he's currently in student accommodation and we don't have the space to store one 😊

Vintage cufflinks

I do think engraved watch/signet ring/cufflinks/pen good but also agree premium bonds ideal too as longer term cash gift with potential for prize returns.
