Ideas for DS’s 21st birthday

DS is turning 21 this month. He’s asked for money to go to Ibiza. We’re ok with that, but still want him to have something to actually open on the day. Any ideas would be great as he’s a picky bugger so no point in buying clothes or jewellery/watch etc as he won’t wear them. He has headphones and all the tech gear so I’m really struggling!

A decent suitcase for his holiday?

Aftershave, travel toiletries including sunscreen, underwear, pack of beer, multi restaurant or cinema gift card, pack of favourite snacks, something with the logo of his favourite footie team, first aid/hangover kit for his holiday ?

For my DS we can’t go wrong with an extra set of headphones as he loses or breaks them all the time.

Initially I had assumed you were going to ask advice about clothing brands but as this seems to be a more general question around suggestions for birthday gifts, you may want to have this moved to chat.

Have I misunderstood and you are thinking of something as a keepsake rather than random bits to open with the money as his main present?
