As junior year falls upon college students, the 21st birthday celebrations begin! With so many birthdays to celebrate, it can be hard to come up with new and creative ideas on what to get your friends. It is a landmark to have made it to 21, and you want to make sure each of your friends can have a memorable and thoughtful gift from you! Here is a list of 21st birthday present ideas that can help you brainstorm!
1. Hangover Kit
I personally cannot stress this one enough! Everyone knows that you are going to be going as hard as you can at the bars, so you will definitely need a pick me up the day after! Some must haves are: Gatorade, Advil, and junk food!
2. Beer Basket
This is the perfect gift for anyone who loves beer! Fill the basket with different assortments of your friend’s favorite beers. The mini liquor bottles are also the perfect way to stuff the basket. Regardless, make sure they are drinks your friend will actually want to drink!
3. Alcohol
Even though you can now legally get your own drinks, I think that it is a thoughtful gift! It’s a present that you will definitely be using for future use. This birthday is all about alcohol and it will not go to waste! So go pick up a bottle of their favorite and they will appreciate not having to buy it themselves right away!
4. Assortment of fun cups/shot glasses
Nothing says party, like a set of fun glasses/shot glasses! If you haven't started to collect your own set of glasses, than this would be the perfect starting point! You can either just get regular glasses, or you could get ones with cool designs!
5. 21st Birthday Kit
You’re not officially 21, until you put on the 21st Birthday sash and a crown when you head out to the bars! You will get a lot of “Happy Birthdays!” throughout the night, and it makes a great conversation starter!
6. Drinking Games
This would be perfect to use for pre-gaming before everyone heads to the bars! Plus, you can use them plenty of other times in the future when you decide to stay in with friends. It’s a great way to the start the night, and everyone will have a blast playing them!
7. Personalized glasses
This was one of my favorites, because you have something that will always remind you of the night of your 21st! This is something that you will more than likely be using throughout the rest of your life! Just personalize it with a cool design, and you are good to go!
8. Mixology Bar set
What better way to show off that you are officially of age, than your own bar set? Impress your friends by showing off your drink making skills, and give the bartenders a run for their money! Along with the set, a book for drink recipes, alcohol, or mixers can be great additions to the presents!
9. Cute dress/outfit to wear to the bars
Nothing says celebrating your 21st, like wearing a new, sparkly dress, or even a new outfit! Light up those bars, and go have the time of your life!
