18th Birthday Present

Recommended Posts

Posted

Well its as the title says really, am looking for an 18th birthday present for my little brother, for up to £100 mark.

 

He's really into his computers and gadgets,sci-fi and shit stuff like that, but i was thinking of something different, something memorable, something that he can enjoy.

 

so just want to see what ideas people have???

Oh and i will go get him his first pint! haha

I've mentioned it in the Bargains thread but if you're going to look for presents that are quite pricey it is really worth going on http://www.flubit.com/ . They offer you any product you can find online for a cheaper price. Used it a few times now and it's saved me a fortune over the last couple of months.

 

Other than that sort of thing buying him an 'experience' might be a good idea. Skydiving, driving a sports car. I'm not that interested in that sort of thing myself though.

Butt Plugs, badminton gear and the inbetweeners box set. 

 

If he gets confused on why you brought him the other two things.

Why don't you just give him the ton? Then he can do what he wants with it.

This.

Or as its a landmark birthday what about a watch with something engraved on it. Least with that he's got something he can keep forever.

I've always found giving money quite impersonal unless you genuinely have no idea what the person would want, which isnt true for the OP. I know some people prefer to receive money from family, but I wouldn't particularly like to receive £100 from my brother as its clear he's put no thought or effort in.

Christ lol if my brother was going to give me £100 for my birthday I'd be more than grateful!

Haha you know what I meant :D

I'd prefer to receive a gift that the person has put some effort in to and got it wrong rather than just money.

If you steer away from the drugs and hookers ideas, why don't you get him a hotel room in London or something so he can go out on the town one night or a travel voucher so he can do it himself.

Set him a series of horrible challenges and if he completes them then he gets £100. If he fails or chooses not to do them then spike his tea with LSD every mealtime until you've spent the dough or he's stopped eating and drinking all together. It's all about the memories. I got a Tag Heur watch for my 18th, fook that. I sold it within 3 months and spent it on brass.
