18th Birthday gift help

Any ideas what I can get for my friend’s daughter who is turning 18 in a couple of weeks? She’s not really a girly girl, more the sporty outdoorsy type. Budget about £50. Don’t really want to go down the cash/voucher route unless I really can’t think of anything nice! Thanks 🙏

People are so particular (me included) I'd just go cash in a cool card, especially for this age group and relationship. It's honestly most appreciated.

Assuming you can speak to friend to suss out some key details

  1. personalised shirt for a favourite team (football/rugby etc)
  2. stadium tour of the same above?
  3. GoApe experience
  4. Book by a sportsperson they like and write a meaningful message inside then the rest as cash to treat themselves?

I always find the best gifts are either things I'd like but would see as too extravagant to get myself (personalised kit), activities that someone organised, or something from the heart.

All else fails cold hard cash, and some chocolate or an alcoholic beverage seeing as it's an 18th.
