While every birthday is a special occasion, certain birthdays stand out as being more momentous than the others. We've got the perfect gifts to help celebrate passage into all of these exciting new stages of life, from birth to 100 years.
A Birthday Gift for Every Occasion
For milestone birthdays, you'll want to give something to commemorate the occasion.
- 1st Birthday - Making it through that first year is a major accomplishment. Although your recipient won't remember the occasion, you can still give a lasting keepsake they'll treasure for the rest of their life, like a trinket box, stuffed animal or photo frame.
- 13th Birthday - Turning 13 marks the end of childhood and the beginning of adolescence, so you'll want to commemorate the occasion with a gift that is a bit more mature, like a makeup brush kit, perfume atomiser or secret stash box.
- 16th Birthday - Getting a learner's permit is a big deal, and your young driver will need a keyring for their new keys. Even if the 16-year-old in your life won't be driving just yet, they'll still become more independent, so a sleek wallet is another great option.
- 18th Birthday - Turning 18 is one of the biggest milestones, as it marks the start of adulthood. It also comes with the ability to legally drink alcohol, so help your recipient celebrate with a personalised glass for their favourite beverage.
- 21st Birthday - The 21st birthday is the next chapter of the journey into adulthood. A gift of a photo album full of photos of the last 21 years would certainly be a gift to treasure forever.
- Decades - After 18, the biggest milestones are the decades, with each representing a new stage in life. From 30 to 100, we've got all the decade birthday gifts you'll need for everyone in your life.
Personalise Your Milestone Birthday Gift
To complete your gift and make it truly special, don't forget to add personalisation. Names, birth dates and well-wishes can take your gift from so-so to spectacular, so be sure to add this personal touch.
