21st Birthday, present & party ideas (merged)

Being around your gf's age, I'd agree with the spa day idea. I recently went to the Sanctuary in Covent Garden (https://www.thesanctuary.co.uk) which was heavenly. They do day packages - I had a Champagne Bliss day which was membership for the day (inc use of the various pools, saunas etc), one treatment from a choice, brunch with champagne and a gift set to take away, which was £120 - they have various other combinations of treatments/lunches etc. There's a promotion on at the moment which is £99 for a package but looks like it's only valid until 30 June, don't know if that's when you need to book by or when you need to go by. Depending on where you live you might just have enough of your budget left for the train fare to London, if you're not there already!

Otherwise... I wouldn't want my bf to buy me jewellery as I don't think I'd like his taste. He once arranged a surprise day of falconry (at the Hawk Conservancy in Andover) which was great fun. I think a weekend holiday would be difficult for under £150 for both of you, but Eurostar sometimes do good deals on daytrips - have been to both Brussels and Paris for £59 each return which would leave just enough for lunch at a cheap cafe (cheap won't matter as it's romantic, and when in Brussels you just want the chips and waffles anyway). Again you'd need to get to London, and make sure she has a valid passport first!

Good luck!

It's my cousins 21st soon, and I was wondering what would be a good gift for him.

I'm looking for something cheap, and quite funny.

He is studying Art at Uni, likes photography, rock music,and drinking.

If she wears jewellery i would suggest a pretty bracelet or necklace so she can keep it. But i would recommend checking members of the family arent getting the same type of things, you can be over-whelmed with jewellery on ya 21st!

I bought my friend a jewellery box. It was a really nice one from a chinese shop in the city with mother of pearl inlay and a little picture scene made out of cork on the top.

My daughter is turning 18 next month. We have bought her a laptop computer. A lot of money, but should last many, many years.

I was bought various jewellery for my 21st. Something to keep is always a good one.


What about a photo album showing her life so far?

Is the person a friend, relation, partner?!?!?!

With the cheap / free Ryanair flights at the moment, you could take them for a weekend in Venice or Rome or similar which would be nice!
