When you reach 21, the world is your oyster and the best thing to do is to celebrate as you mean to go on.

So when you plan that 21st birthday party, make it a memorable occasion. You'll always remember the people who were there to celebrate with you, so invite as many friends as you can. Spare no expense with the champagne and nibbles and party on into the early hours, taking plenty of fun photos which can be used as evidence in the aftermath! You will of course be expecting lots of 21st birthday gifts which will hopefully be original and fun, so you'll thank your friends for using their imagination when choosing them.

Luckily when it comes to shopping for those all important 21st birthday gifts, there's plenty out there to continue the theme of living like there's no tomorrow, or to put it another way, living like there are plenty of tomorrows!

Making the most of yesterday

 Making the most of the past is about nostalgia for the memories you've lived through so far. Your birthday boy or girl may not remember as far back as their birth year, but the '21st Birthday Classic Years CD and Greetings Card' is the perfect introduction, with no less than 20 classic hits from 1988. They'll also appreciate gifts that are engaging and interesting and the 'Personalised 21st Birthday Year Book' is perfect for anybody who loves history and current affairs. Containing the original Times newspaper from their birth date, it's a stunning souvenir bound in leatherette and embossed with gold lettering. And if you know any film buffs that are approaching 21, the 'Framed 12 inch DVD laser' is the ultimate in 21st birthday gifts. Take their favourite movie of all time and honour how much it means to them by framing it within a laser disc alongside a silver plaque enhanced with a sample of the film's original artwork. The silver plaque is engraved with your own personal message, so it'll be a talking point and a stunning and original piece for any wall.

Making the most of today

 Today is here and that means party time! If a big celebration is on the cards, 21st birthday gifts that play a role in the celebrations are worth their weight in gold. There's no substitute for instance for the lovely 'Handmade Party Guest Book'. Leave it somewhere central throughout the party for all the guests to write their own personal messages, jokes and anecdotes. At the end of the night your 21 year old will have a priceless memory of that special night to treasure forever. Not only will it make entertaining reading for many years to come, it's also a beautiful item in itself, ring bound and mounted in delicate patterns and pastel shades. The party girl or boy will of course need to stand out from the crowd on their special day, so don't forget those little details that say it all. We're thinking of special touches such as the '21 Today Large Badge', or how about the '21st Birthday Star Badge' in solid pewter? Last but not least, no party will take off without the alcohol and 21st birthday parties' call for a special bottle of wine. The '21st birthday Personalised Wine' is just about the most perfect thing to get the party in full swing!

Making the most of tomorrow

Looking to the future is what being 21 is all about, whether it be making plans to travel, study for a chosen career or plan a home and family. 21st birthday gifts that are there for the future are always welcome, so why not consider what future they have in mind. If they're planning to travel, the 'Bon Voyage Passport Holder', the 'Leather Travel Journal' and 'Travel Notes' book make perfect 21st birthday gifts. And if they're setting up home, there's a whole range of colourful storage files which make excellent gifts for anyone who may have a tendency to be disorganised! The 'Vehicle Documents File for her', the 'Family Document File' and the 'My Recipe File' are not only essential for anyone starting a family; they're also attractive and make a colourful addition to any home.
