<\/span><\/p>\n\u200b18th Birthday Gift Ideas on the Way to College<\/h2>\n
For most teenagers, turning 18 means the impending ritual of being kicked out and moving to college. This Kinverch mini fridge and electric cooler make that transition a heck of a lot easier. Let your friend move into 18 and out to college in real style. The refrigerator comes in black and blue and has the facilities to chill, cool and heat thanks to the switch settings. It\u2019s also super quiet so they won\u2019t keep their college roommates up late.<\/p>\n $70<\/p>\n Turning 18 is a coming of age story that brings with it the responsibility of adulthood. One big responsibility of being an adult is to have read all the great literature in the world which is a hard task, but this Little Black Classics penguin box set will give your newly turned 18-year-old child a helping hand. The box contains 80 small paperback books including poetry, essays, and fiction from the likes of Dante Alighieri, Jane Austen, and Anton Chekhov.<\/p>\n $73<\/p>\n Any 18-year-old boy will have a favorite blockbuster movie trilogy and, more than likely, it\u2019ll be The Lord of the Rings. If this isn\u2019t their favorite movie, then that\u2019s all the more reason to buy this extended edition box set. The box features blue ray DVDs of The Fellowship of the Ring, the Two Towers and The Return of the King, three epic movies about life’s journey. Though turning 18 isn\u2019t quite the same quest, it\u2019s pretty close.<\/p>\n $12<\/p>\n This stunning handmade ring can be personalized to feature the birthstone of the birthday girl. The braided sterling silver ring is a beautiful gift to present to your sister, daughter, granddaughter on her special day. The ring arrives in a small gift box with a gift bag which makes the wrapping process twice as easy! It would also be a beautiful gift for Valentine’s<\/a>.<\/p>\n $70<\/p>\n Now that they\u2019ve turned 18 they\u2019re really going to want to drown you out if they\u2019re still living at home and nothing drowns out background noise better than the newest Bose Mini SoundDock. This portable Bluetooth speaker is an impressive gift all year round, but it\u2019s particularly special to celebrate a big birthday. It\u2019s also perfect if your 18-year-old is moving out soon, heading to college or finding their own place as it\u2019s a necessary accessory to any flat, house or dorm party.<\/p>\n $145<\/p>\n If the thought of your 18-year-old blasting his or her favorite music from a Bluetooth speaker sends shivers down your spine (entirely understandable if they live with you) then these headphones will be the answer to all your prayers. Better yet, the Beats Solo3 Wireless Headphones are the most popular headphones on the block, and you\u2019ll throw your 18 years old straight into the realms of \u201ccoolest kid around.\u201d<\/p>\n $165<\/p>\n This unique Crosley record player is the perfect gift for any music lover and has the unique factor of being old-school quirky. The turntable is available in turquoise, red, pink, orange, green and a handful of other colors and features Bluetooth which enables you to stream your music wirelessly to speakers. The turntable also has RCA and headphone jack outputs. It’s a no-fail gift for the young adults geeks<\/a>.<\/p>\n $66<\/p>\n A compact camera is a great gift for your 18-year-old to document their future travels around the globe. Even if they only make it to the nearby park, this camera is a cool and fun accessory to have on them. The instant camera comes in five different colors including blue, pink, ice blue, green and stone grey and features a macro lens and strap. The camera comes with the first ten reals of film, after that they\u2019ll need to purchase more (which would be a great little gift from you in future years!)<\/p>\n $57<\/p>\n This personalized school years frame is an ideal gift to give to friends. The frame can be filled with pictures from day dot right up to twelfth grade and is a great way to analyze your friend’s fashion and hair choice evolve over the years. Your friend’s name can be engraved on the bottom too to add a personal touch to the gift, and there is the choice of honey, black and whitewashed frames.<\/p>\n $64<\/p>\n The Amazon Kindle ensures that your newly tuned 18-year-old is well read before they embark on life as an adult. The Kindle is an excellent way for them to read multiple books at once and is particularly perfect when traveling as you don\u2019t have to carry three books with you. This practical gift is available in black or white and has Bluetooth features that enable audio diction when you tire of reading.<\/p>\n $80<\/p>\n If your son or daughter is an avid gamer, then this is the ultimate gift to be crowned parents of the decade. The PlayStation 4 outputs gameplay to your 4K TV and features HDR Technology and HD Power, which sounds like technical jargon, but in short, it\u2019s epic. What is more, you can spend the next handful of birthday’s and Christmas’ buying the PS4 Games to go with it!<\/p>\n $400<\/p>\n We\u2019ve already listed a speaker as a gift idea but this Ultimate Ears Blast Portable speaker, unlike the Bose, is waterproof. The speaker feature has both WiFi and Bluetooth and is a great party piece and ideal travel accessory. If your 18-year-old enjoys good pool party or you live near the beach, then this speaker makes for the perfect gift.<\/p>\n $148<\/p>\n This classic Nespresso Machine is a great gift for your teenager to take off to college with them or to their new home (remember, when they\u2019re 18 you can kick them out).
