We’re not afraid to admit that 21st birthday gift ideas are somewhat tricky to come up with. What gift for her is special and sentimental enough to mark the occasion without qualifying as a timestamp keepsake she’ll never use?
This milestone birthday represents her entrance into adulthood and the start of her glorious twenties. Unlike an 18th birthday, turning 21 also marks the beginning of many other milestones – from graduating from university to travelling the world and maybe even getting her first real job. Essentially, her 21st birthday must be celebrated with a bang.
Thankfully, GLAMOUR’s shopping editors have some experience in the field, having either already turned 21 or having best friends, sisters, nieces and cousins passing the adulting start line too. So, whether you’re after wear-forever gold jewellery gifts to personalised Prosecco and luxury gifts that scream just how much you love her, we’ve got you covered with ideas to suit every budget.
In need of some more present ideas? We’ve tracked down the best 18th birthday gifts, 30th birthday gifts and 40th birthday gifts, as well as the best gifts for sisters, gifts for mum, gifts for dads, gifts for teenage boys, gifts for teenage girls, and the best gifts for couples.
