18th Birthday Presents

[BotsMaster]

Buy him an IPad.

 

[moses]

$200 prepaid credit card?

 

[Matty_G]

Me and my brothers get each other a slab for birthdays. Nothing more, nothing less. Easiest thing ever.

 

[thecatattack]

$200 in booze.

 

[Hlebalicious]

My dad got me a packet of chicken twisties for my 18th....seriously. Wasn't even the big packet as well.

 

[Marns]

This was part of my 18th birthday present. 4.5L.

 

[Ed_Gein]

^ Cruel joke to play for an 18th birthday IMO. Jim Beam, yuck.

 

[sheahen]

I came in here to vouch for Southern Comfort. Not bad at all IMO.

Anyway,

What's he going to plug the headphones into?

Does he have an iPod?

yeah, his iphone or lappy or i pad

 

[Silent Alarm]

I'm 18. Buy him those douchey chinos that are elastic and tight around the ankles. He'll be just like all my friends and everyone else!

You could always dip chicken Twisties in it?

 

[HugeJohnson]

Get him a ticket to a music festival if he's in to it.

 

[Mister Carlton]

Ticket to Cave exploring.

 

[Silent Alarm]

Get him a ticket to a music festival if he's in to it.

This is actually a really good idea. Everyone has a casual interest in music, but most people at 18 will have a bunch of mates who'll go to festivals. Whether they're douchebags with their shirts off at Future, or us skinny kids at Laneway, ask him if he has anything planned this summer. It'll be about $130/150, but he should have fun and drink heaps of piss and get sunburnt.

Unless he goes to Laneway.

So I'm turning 19 in a month and my parents and family are asking me what I want. My problem is that I don't know. I've always just asked for kiddy stuff like xbox games, footy gear and that sort of thing. But now I feel as though I should ask for something more grown up since I'm moving away for uni next year. What sorts of things do you ask for when you turn 19?

Money. And then more money.

Golf clubs... well that's what I asked for for my 21st

Sorry, but this thread is for 18th birthday presents.

Can I please retract my support.

 

[Dan]

Centrefold, ask for Bob.

 

[Gough]

I gave a cricket loving son of a friend a nice hardback copy of the Wisden of their birth year for his 18th. That went down pretty well.

 

[MarcusP2]

Can I please retract my support.

How old are you? This was inevitable.

Same here! Unfortunately I didn't get any

 

[rayven]

Plenty have pointed out before that the moment you procrastinate, cash is the best and most adaptable universal present except one. That one is a car.

It depends, do you need things when you're going to be moving out? Get them to contribute stuff to that.

Or ask for money.
