a list of original and inexpensive birthday gifts for a girl

Thinking about what to give a girl for 18 years, first of all, you have to admit to yourself that you won’t be able to get off with a trinket. Either you are looking for a really unusual idea for a gift, or you “close” the lack of imagination with the high cost of the present. Plus, do not forget that from the age of eighteen to real adult life there is still plenty of time.

We offer several options for gifts for a girl for 18 years, which will definitely not upset the birthday girl.

Top 14 best gift ideas for a 18 year old girl

If you have recommendations and additions on the material, you can send them to the mail [email protected] . To discuss advertising cooperation, call +7 (495) 637-65-16 (on weekdays from 9:00 to 18:00).

A gift for the most beautiful girl

Your present must be beautifully packaged. It must be given without fail with a bouquet of flowers (find out in advance which birthday girl prefers) and a prepared witty speech. And the main gift can be something that emphasizes the beauty, grace and good taste of the heroine of the celebration.

1. Jewelry

It is logical that the eighteenth birthday becomes an occasion to present the first serious ring, pendant, brooch. The problem is that not all adults realize how segmented the jewelry market is now. That is, there are treasures for every age. There are few universal things that are equally suitable for representatives of different generations.

So you have to put yourself in the place of yesterday’s teenager, put aside your ideas about beauty and thoroughly understand the tastes of the birthday girl, take a closer look at her wardrobe, make-up. The worst option is to give an expensive piece of jewelry, “so that it is”, as a contribution “for a rainy day”.

2.

Illuminated mirror
A large dressing room mirror with lamps around the perimeter will make the girl feel like a movie star. Effectively! However, LED-lit mirrors are not as ruthless in terms of power consumption, and they are often easier to fit into the interior.

3. Wrist watch

Design will be decisive when choosing a completely non-functional, but spectacular accessory. Wristwatches do not have to emphasize the status (and what kind of status is it at 18?), but they must certainly be combined with the girl’s lifestyle. Sports watches, bright and original or vintage … Perhaps, just a boring classic is the least appropriate here.

A gift for communication

At this age, a girl is surrounded by friends, life is in full swing. Classmates, former classmates, colleagues (some already earn their own living). Therefore, the birthday girl will definitely appreciate the gifts for communications.

4. Smartphone

It seems that the days when young people needed an iPhone to feel like adults are gone. But still, a smartphone for the eighteenth birthday will have to give a top-end or so. This gift is not a shame to discuss with the birthday girl in advance. After all, it is quite possible that she already has a specific model in mind.

For health

Healthy lifestyle is not just a fashion fad these days. Among the birthday gifts, there must be something for the health of the birthday girl. Don’t be stingy, choose really healthy things, not cheap protein bar sets.

5. Juicer

No matter how your relationship with a healthy diet develops by the age of eighteen, a juicer will come in handy. In a glass of fresh juice after breakfast, there is both goodness and a slight flair of aristocracy. And fresh juices are a good reason to think in an adult way about what enters our body and what are the consequences.

For travel

18 years old is the age at which a girl can completely independently decide where to go or go. So feel free to choose travel gifts for your birthday.

6. Tent

You yourself know that in life, sometimes quite suddenly there are moments when a tent is desperately needed. Especially in youth. But keep in mind that a stuffy, uncomfortable and poorly protected tent from moisture can prevent you from spending the night in camping conditions for a long time. Fortunately, there are few such copies left on the market.

7. Suitcase

A symbolic gift recognizing the girl’s right to complete freedom of movement and as if saying: «The whole world is open to you from now on.» Let the suitcase be compact — this will once again emphasize that the thing is purely personal. Secondly, he must be cute. And, of course, on wheels.

For creativity

At the age of 18, a girl can have several hobbies, usually all friends and relatives already know about them. Ask them and please the birthday girl with something that will definitely come in handy. Let your gift become a necessary, favorite thing for her.

8. SLR camera

A rare modern girl is not interested in photography, at least at the Instagram level. And 18 years old is a very suitable age to fully experience the difference between a DSLR and a smartphone camera. It would just be nice to be sure that the birthday girl is seriously passionate about this type of art. Because the cheapest DSLRs cost the equivalent of a smartphone with four cameras.

9. Home recording kit

Musicians often start writing songs by the age of 18. The opportunity to record them at home is the most valuable gift for such a girl. The musical instrument is already there. Now you need an external sound card, a microphone and headphones. All of these can be purchased as a set or individually. Sound cards usually come with software, a music editor in the beginner version. The enthusiasm of youth is definitely enough to easily master the basics of working in such a program.

For sports

Movement is life, and at this time there is so much energy in girls that there is enough for dancing until the morning and for active sports. A sports gift will definitely not leave the birthday girl indifferent.

10. Exercise bike

Large Russian cities are not yet friendly enough to two-wheeled road users. But pedaling is a good habit. Especially when compulsory school physical education is a thing of the past.

The most cost-effective option in terms of space savings is an upright exercise bike, or even better, a foldable one. What is nice, expensive copies differ from the available ones mainly in additional electronic gadgets. With the main goal, burning calories, everyone copes. Only portable simulators cause distrust here.

11. Balanceboard

The board on the roller was originally intended for the training of athletes for whom balance and coordination of movements are critical. But the thing «went to the people», became fashionable and self-sufficient. We recommend giving along with skater protective ammunition.

For comfort

Show the birthday girl that you care about her health and comfort. Let your gift remind her that someone is worried about whether she is cold or wet. Just consider color preferences so that your present does not lie dead weight in her closet.

12. Original umbrella

An unusual but reliable women’s umbrella will be a great gift if the birthday girl does not expect too much from you. After all, it’s one of those things you don’t usually buy for yourself. In addition, umbrellas tend to get lost somewhere, which means there are never many of them.

For fun

The pleasures of adulthood can be hard to resist. And here the old wisdom comes to the rescue: «If you can’t win, lead.» Why not choose a symbolic adult gift as a gift for a girl?

13. A set of wine accessories

Such a set (if it includes something other than a corkscrew and a cork) will encourage a deeper acquaintance with the drink, the formation of the right consumption culture. A book that tells about the nuances of winemaking will not be superfluous at all. By the way, understanding wine is a youth trend that is only gaining momentum.

For a business girl

Emphasize your admiration for the birthday girl by listing her best business qualities. The birthday girl will definitely appreciate your speech. And a gift can be something useful for her active social activities, study or work.

How to choose a gift for an 18-year-old girl

By the age of majority, most teenagers are active in social networks. Perhaps the idea for a gift will be prompted by the posts of the birthday girl.

At the age of 18, many are captivated by stereotypes about adult life and the distribution of social roles in it. You should not confirm teenage fears with gifts and scare with dull scenarios for the future. For example, a set of crockery or kitchen utensils could be interpreted as referring to «stove seat». And it’s a completely terrible idea to give something for the coming family life.

Emphasize with a gift that the girl is entering a period of unprecedented freedom. That she is free to make any decisions. It may not be entirely true, but at this age you still want to believe in a fairy tale.

Adult skin care products, like any cosmetics that remind you of age, are a bad idea. There is no need for them, but they can sow unnecessary anxiety about the future.

Money is a boring gift. But we have to admit that due to the lack of good ideas, as well as in case of failure of gift intelligence, it is better to present a swollen envelope for 18 years.

Eighteen is a very important milestone. Formally, the girl will become an adult, but she is still waiting for a gift with vivid emotions of a teenager. A better moment to fulfill some of her big dreams may not turn up. So don’t save!

Portrait from words . Here’s what the original can be presented to a girl on her 18th birthday from a guy or best friend who needs to say more with the help of things than words can fit.

Bluetooth shower head . Suitable for a birthday girl who loves to sing in the shower. Now you can arrange concerts right to the accompaniment of your favorite bands and performers. From now on, water procedures will bring much more joy.

In addition, you, as a brother, sister or loved one, can act nobly and help the birthday girl eat half of the present.
