    Default 18th Birthday Help!

    So I'm running out of time and out of ideas so thought I'd see if anyone here could help.
    Been going out with my girlfriend for 18 months now and its her 18th in just over a week.
    I haven't a clue what to do as a present!!!! I think I've probably done decent jewellery enough so any other ideas please?

    Thanks
    Dan

    In my experience, the women in my life have always been grateful for jewellery.

    Aside from that, you could try gig/concert tickets, or if you drive you could treat her to a day out somewhere special and do a picnic hamper with all the trimmings. I guess a lot depends on what kind of thing she likes. Can you shed any more light on her likes and dislikes?
    Prepare for the worst. Hope for the best. Live somewhere inbetween.

    Thats a tough one ! It's been a few years since I went out with an 18 year old. What is she in to ? I assume a night in the woods with you making her comfortable & doing the cooking wouldnt appeal ? (it wouldnt in my house)
    You seem to be in to Music, is she ? What about a meal followed by a gig ? Possibly staying the night ?
    I am 43 though so maybe I am being old fashioned even though I am still a teenager at heart, (until I try to move too quickly).

    Nice meal out, hotel, then maybe spa treatment for her or something. You can often find decent breaks offering spa treatments for the ladies.

    I asked my Dad the same question many years ago, his reply was 'if she likes you she will like anything' I hope he was only joking ??

    It was my wifes birthday not that long ago, (30ish lol) I took her to London, did a cruise lunch on the Thames, follewed by the London eye, then in the evening took her to see Ghost the meusical (not into musicals 1 bit, but this was awesome!!!!)

    Then hopped on a train to Stratfford for some retail therapy, not my idea of a great couple of days lol but she loved it!!
    It only cost around the £200 mark!!
    Hope this helps
    Steve
