ok. so i'm 17 and so all of my mates will be turning 18 this year. Does anyone know wot cool stuff i could buy for them for their 18 that isnt alcohol (thats all ive managed to buy for them so far) and isnt really expensive off some site like iwantoneofthose.com. (males and females)

any suggestions will be good. stuff for cars or guitarists would be great.

:arrow: Stuff for cars is it? Get them some bubble gum which matches the colour of their respective vehicle thus allowing them to easily fill any bullet holes in the exterior should the need arise.

I'm really glad you started this Bridgie - I'm in exactly the same situation. I used to be really good with presents, but my imagination seems to have gone AWOL and Aberdeen is CRAP for buying presents.

Ah well...

the thing is because its their 18th you think you should buy them alcohol but one of my frinds just turned 18 and now i think they have about 15 bottles of spirits to drink. good to have a few but not too many. still no luck anyway. plz keep posting. what did you older guys get for your 18

I never got any alcohol when I turned 18, not for a present anyway. I got loads of boring crap.

To be fair gigglyboots, most places are better than where you live!!!

I think 'crap' was a bit unfair as it can be okay. It's hardly central London, but I guess it's gotta be better than a lot of other places. And now that there's quite a few good internet shops on the go, I guess it's gettin better the whole time.

You should come down Milton Keynes... :) Then again, if you're coming all that way to go shopping, you might as well do the extra bit and go to London.

Hah, I'll never forget Victor Lewis-Smith's old TV show in which he posed the question, "but what is this man doing in Milton Keynes? In fact, what the f*ck is anybody doing in Milton Keynes?" - jc
