An 18th Birthday is really something to look forward to, the big birthday, the day you are finally an adult. An 18th is a day full of fun, laughter, partying and importantly, presents. An 18th isn't just like any other birthday so it's important that the 18th birthday gifts reflect this. Many simply do not know where to start looking for 18th birthday gifts. The gifts need to memorable and potentially last a lifetime. However, 18 year olds are still teenagers, like all teenagers, they seek excitement, novelty and thrills so a serious dull gift will not suffice. If you want to buy a gift that will last and not end up sitting at the back of a dusty cupboard, think about getting something they can use in the future. They can then enjoy the excitement of the gift on the big day itself but also over the coming years. At 18, you have your whole life ahead of you, and the world seems full of possibilities.

If you want to spice up this must have gift, why not make it humorous. There are plenty of entertaining and hilarious pairs of cufflinks around that will make him smile. You can find '18 and legal' cufflinks that have imprinted a small pint of beer on them.

There are also plenty of alcohol themed cufflinks that don't cost a bomb; you can buy cufflinks in the shape of a pint of lager and a packet of crisps, as well as silver frothy beer glass cufflinks.

Personalised or engraved items make brilliant must have 18th birthday gifts to commemorate the day. Personalised items make ideal presents for special occasions; the personal edge makes gifts that bit extra special. It is generally best to steer clear from overly traditional engraved gifts such as tankards, although these make great presents, something unique and different will have that wow factor. For women, you may want to consider an engraved silver mirror or similar item. This beautiful item will be touching and personal yet practical at the same time. She can carry it with her in her handbag for nights out, special occasions or simply when leaving the house. Every time she looks at it, she will think of you. Alternatively you could get her a hip flask. However, you could take this traditional gift and put a new twist on it. There are funky pink hip flasks available to buy that will really stand out from the crowd, you can also get it engraved with a special 18th birthday message to make it really memorable. If you want to buy something sentimental but don't have the money for expensive jewellery, consider buying an engraved trinket box. You can engrave her name and a personal 18th birthday message. This present is bound to be treasured for years to come and will really stand out from other gifts.

An 18th is heavily associated with drinking and partying. Therefore drinking related 18th birthday gifts are must haves.

For less than a fiver you can buy a Beer Stamp. You can pick from a range of different yet equally funny beer stamps including 'Don't blame me, I'm drunk' or 'Buy this man a beer', ideal for an 18th birthday night out. This hilarious gift is sure to go down well with the birthday girl or boy and their friends. Another cheap but useful and fun gift is a key bottle opener.

There are a number of must have 18th birthday gifts you should consider buying for that special birthday. Traditional gifts such as hipflasks and cufflinks are ideal presents as are more modern variations of classic engraved gifts, such as engraved trinket boxes and silver mirrors.
