Gift Idea for Everyone

Ah, the twenty-first birthday. It’s a momentous occasion and one that garners more celebration than any other. It is also considered by many as traditionally marking the passing of adolescence into adulthood. So unlike gifts of the past, you have the freedom to give a more mature, worldly gift. Be selective and walk a different path when choosing a gift for this memorable event and extraordinary individual. If you’re stumped, here a few to consider:

One Share of Stock: Stock entitles your twenty-one year old shareholder to declare dividends, access annual reports and more. You’ll be setting a great example and putting their financial future into motion. Personalized framing is frequently available so that your recipient can proudly display their ownership. Before ordering, make sure that you have the recipient’s correct social security number and mailing address.

Adventure: If you’re looking for an unforgettable twenty-first birthday gift, why not give the gift of an experience such as bungee jumping, skydiving or hot air ballooning. The latter two tend to be pricey, so you may want to pool your resources with a few other gift givers. Check your local yellow pages or jump online to find unique adventure gifts. Because experience is all about creating a day to remember, supplement your gift with disposable cameras and a gift card for developing the photos.

Solar Real Estate: Ever wish that you could give someone the moon? Well, now you can! Through the Lunar Registry, you can thoughtfully give that special twenty-one year old a piece of orbital real estate. You can select and buy them an acre of moon property, complete with a personalized deed certificate, a satellite photograph, geographic information for use with a telescope and more. Visit the Lunar Registry online at www.lunarregistry.com and give a gift that is truly out of this world!

Hotel Reservation: After this birthday gala, your young adult will probably enjoy getting away for a relaxing night or two. Purchase them a hotel gift certificate and have it all wrapped up!

There are so many possibilities for birthday gifts, particularly on the years with extra meaning attached to them. Keep in mind that birthday number twenty-one isn’t just about transitioning into adulthood, but also about a new beginning, the start of a journey. So on this special day, make your gift unforgettable and one that will be remembered for a lifetime.
