The 21st birthday is an important milestone for many young adults. It’s the time to take charge of their independence. And it’s common for young people to want to take on the world and indulge in their new freedoms.
For this, here are some cool 21st birthday gift ideas!
Airpods
Airpods are wireless Bluetooth earbuds. Even though they were originally created for iPhone and iPad, you can use them with almost any computer and smartphone.
Those who still use wired headphones will greatly appreciate this update of technology. It‘s often seen as a status symbol for young adults. And no more tangled wires!
Bluetooth Speaker
A Bluetooth speaker will be a great gift for a music lover. As most wireless technologies, they are compatible with any smartphone, tablet or computer that supports a wireless Bluetooth connection.
These types of speakers will offer a much better sound quality than you would get from your phone or laptop. Besides that, they are compact and can easily travel with you anywhere.
Drinking Game
21 is the final legal drinking age everywhere in the world. And surely many young adults would like to welcome this new life with a good party! So, this would be the perfect gift for someone who likes to bring more fun to the table.
Besides, there are so many fun drinking games out there. You just have to pick the one that will suit the birthday girl or boy the best. To make it even more fun, maybe try making a drinking game yourself.
Snack Box
A snack box is essentially a box that contains all kinds of snack foods. There are various companies out there that will compile and deliver snack boxes according to your likes, and even food allergies. You will also find options for the more health conscious young people.
If you know the recipients taste well, you might want to compile the snack box by yourself, filling it with all of their favorites. What a delicious way to start your 21’s!
Adventure
If they are someone who enjoys a good adventure, you can offer them a gift of an unforgettable and fun day outdoors. It can also be a good opportunity to enjoy new and exciting experiences together, and make great memories.
For some cool daredevil activities you might want to consider bungee jumping, skydiving, cliff climbing or paragliding. For more relaxing adventures – think of a ride in a hot air balloon, scuba diving, boat riding or even hiking. If you are still unsure about the right adventure, a more safe bet would be a fun day at an adventure park.
Powerbank
A powerbank is a portable battery charger. No one wants a dead phone so a charger like this can be a real lifesaver. As a versatile tool, a Powerbank can be used for various USB charged portable devices.
This is a perfect gift idea for somebody who already seems to have everything they need. Or if it’s super hard to shop for them. Then something useful like a battery bank will be the best choice. Can’t go wrong with it!
Travel Essentials
At 21 years of age, the world is full of opportunities. If they are excited to travel and explore the world, it would be a great idea to provide them with some of the essential tools.
Think stuff like backpacks, sleeping bags, multi-tool knives, camping cookers and tents.
Backpack
Backpacks are awesome for independent travel. They can offer large storage and are more flexible than a trolley.
Sleeping bag
A sleeping bag is a must-have item for travelers. If you know of a certain trip already in planning, check for good temperature ranges.
Multi-tool knife
A good camping knife will have multiple uses, whether it’s for preparing food, opening bottles, cutting wood or offering the feeling of self-protection. And, you can conveniently keep it in your pocket.
Camping cooker
This will be a more convenient tool than open fire for providing a hot meal or drinkable water.
Tent
A tent will provide cozier nights outdoors and a protection from harsh weather.
These items will be useful not only for camping but for any backpacking trip around the world.
Scratch-Off World Map
There’s so much to do, so much to discover. This type of poster is covered with foil, and can be scratched away just like a lottery ticket, uncovering a place on the map.
If you know someone who is eager to explore the world, this map would be perfect as a cool and visual way to track all the places they’ve visited.
Online Courses
Do you know of something that they have always wanted to learn but still haven’t? Then why not give them a good start by gifting them an online course! It could be for learning a language, dancing or for taking the first steps towards a Rockstar career by taking a guitar class.
However, make sure to consider the gift recipient’s time and pick a course that can be done without deadlines, at one’ s own pace.
Money
As a young adult, they probably know best how to use their money. Especially if they are at the beginning of their new independent life, every bit of extra money will always be helpful.
For that reason money will definitely be a safe choice of gift.
It is not easy to find the right gift for everyone. Make sure to pay attention to their interests, future plans and the ways in which they like to spend their free time. This age is a rather special one and the right birthday gift can either make it more fun or help support their start in real adulthood.
