It’s his 21st birthday and I don’t know what to get him? Everyone’s gone through that dilemma. The internet does not seem to have any great ideas either. So what do you get him eventually?

21 is a very confusing age. It is an age where one wants to be responsible but also still loves being irresponsible. You’ve reached adulthood 3 years back but still don’t feel like an adult. Finding the ideal 21st birthday gifts for him is definitely puzzling.

How Do You Come Up With The Right 21st Birthday Gift Ideas?

Write down your minimum budget – He is turning 21 so you are probably young too and cannot afford much so write down your budget. Look for things that are within your budget limit.

Be vigilant – Listen to everything he says. He might just drop a hint. Make sure you know all his current obsessions, be it a game or a new fitness regime or even a band. This would help if you are looking to gift him a new game, a concert ticket or anything tech related.

Research – Is his favorite team playing anytime soon? If so, can you get the tickets? If he likes travelling check if there is any holiday deals for you two. If he is the adventurous type, plan a hiking trip or tickets to skydiving. Find something that is once in a lifetime opportunity. At 21 he would probably want to take all the risks in the world.

Make a list – If you have any ideas just right it down. Ask his family and friends for advice. Has there been something he has always wanted? If there has, that would just be one of the best 21st birthday gifts for him.

Now You Can Check It Off - Birthday Gift

Go through your list. Cut off anything that he already has. Cut off anything that is too sentimental. Cut off anything that says marriage or long term commitment. You do not want to scare him. It is always best to go for something more long lasting or something that he is not going to forget. Cut off the things that are off your budget limit.

After you have done all this, I am sure you are left with very few 21st birthday gift ideas. Go with your gut. Choose what you think he will like best. After all he is your boyfriend and you should know him better than anyone else.
