18th Birthday Gifts for Granddaughter

You are looking for a special gift for a beautiful and very special granddaughter. The thing is she will be 18-years-old soon. 

Although you can’t believe that the years have flown by so fast. To you, it feels like it was just yesterday that you held this tiny little baby in your arms on the day she was born.

This then takes you back to all those special moments that you have shared with her while she was growing up. The many times that she has made you laugh or smile. The fun that you have had together and the unbreakable bond that you have built over the past 18 years.

You find yourself thinking about how important she has become to you. What she means to you and that you want nothing more than to see her happy – especially on her special day.

This brings you back to you trying to figure out what the perfect gift would be for you to give her. You are trying to decide whether you should get her one big gift. Or if you should get her lots of small meaningful gifts. 

Giving your granddaughter the perfect gift does not have to be something expensive. All it really needs to be is something that is thoughtful and meaningful. And don’t worry she will love it just because it came from you. 

Your choice of gift or gifts will depend on the types of things that she likes. If you are not entirely sure you could always ask her how to ask someone what they want for their birthday. You could also choose gifts based on the common things most girls love. Then add something personalized to it. Items such as: 

• Jewelry

A special piece of jewelry that suits her taste is always a special and meaningful gift. Something like an infinity heart necklace is the type of jewelry she will wear on a daily basis.

• Makeup and beauty products

18-year-olds want to look their best when they go out to explore more of the big, wide world. They enjoy experimenting with different colors, products, and techniques.  An idea for this type of gift would be to get her a makeup bundle.

• Fashionable clothes

When it comes to choosing fashionable clothes for an 18th birthday gift it is best to stay clear of. Clothes are always welcomed by them if it is a fashionable item but it is not at all meaningful. 

If clothes are the only things that she would really like for her birthday. Then it is best to give her a gift card so she can choose her own items. Giving your granddaughter a gift card for her birthday might feel impersonal but there are ways to make it special by finding out what to say when giving a gift card.

• Accessories

Accessories make a really great gift especially if it is a useful gift. And has something special added to it? An example would be a travel mirror that she could put in her purse or makeup bag. Included with the mirror is a wonderful message engraved on the outside. Some other accessories that she might enjoy would be a gift basket. This basket comes with a journal, ring holder, bath bombs, scarf, and socks.

• Amazing decor

Spectacular gift ideas for an 18th birthday would give her amazing décor items for her bedroom or dorm room. Items like a special granddaughter musical jewelry box to keep her personal items safe. Or you could think about giving her a beautiful Inspirational wall art that will motivate her to keep going every single day

If you feel that the type of items that she would be interested in that you have in mind are too small for an 18th birthday gift for your granddaughter. You could then try doing something fun with it. Like giving her 18 gifts for her 18th birthday that might be small but are useful or meaningful gifts.

You can then wrap each gift individually and place them in different sized gift boxes for her to enjoy unwrapping one at a time.

If this idea is a little too much or you don’t like it you could then think about putting together or getting her 18th birthday gift baskets with a variety of items that you know she will love.
