When it comes to birthdays, turning 21 tops them all. It’s the night every college student looks forward to from the moment they move into the dorms. Instead of bringing the usual bottle of liquor or 12-pack to the party, get your friend something that will help them remember their 21st birthday for years to come!
Aged to Perfection Black Stemless Wine Glass –Perfect for your clumsy friends, this stainless steel stemless wine glass is impossible to break. Even better, it can keep drinks cold for up to four hours, so the birthday guy or gal won’t have to worry about their drink of choice getting warm. Personalize it with their name and birth year to give a one-of-a-kind keepsake that they’ll get a ton of use out of.
Rose Gold Glitter Beer Koozie –If your friend is more of a beer drinker, then this rose gold can cooler might be just what you’re looking for. Not only will it let everyone know whose birthday it is, but it’ll keep their drinks nice and cold throughout the night. Personalize it with their name or an inside joke to make it even more special. If the can cooler makes it home after all the shenanigans, your friend will be wrapping their beers in this years to come.
Blackjack 21 T-Shirt – What’s a 21st birthday outing without a t-shirt to commemorate the event? While there’s an endless number of birthday shirts out there, this blackjack t-shirt is perfect for the friend who loves to gamble. If you’re heading to the casinos to celebrate your friend’s special day, this shirt will get them a ton of attention and free drinks!
Personalized Cornhole Set –Every 21-year-old needs their own personalized cornhole set. It can be monogrammed to represent their fraternity or sorority, dorm hall, and so much more. Not only is this an incredibly generous gift, but it can transform any night into a full-blown cornhole tournament. It’s the gift that keeps on giving!
Inside Joke Shot Glass – Whether it’s an inside joke or a quote your friend just loves to say, ensure they remember it forever by having it etched into a shot glass. Paired with a bottle of their favorite liquor, and it’s the kind of 21st birthday gift that stands out among the rest. Every time they reach for a shot glass, they’ll be reminded of your friendship.
Customized Cooler – We all know how limited refrigerator space can be at a party, so bringing a customized cooler for the birthday guy or gal would not only make a great gift but be much appreciated. It can be personalized to their taste with a logo for their favorite sports team, funny meme, college logo, and anything else you can come up with. You’ll be the life of the party if you bring the cooler full of ice and drinks as well.
Funny Playing Cards – Some of the best nights in our 20s are those when we whip out a pack of cards. Imagine the next time your friend hosts a game night that the back of the cards are covered in the most awkward photos you could find of them, epic memes, or an inside joke between the two of you. With these customizable playing cards, that could be possible. It makes the perfect gift and can serve as quite a conversation starter during game nights.
For other unique gift ideas, consider personalizing a gift they can use on the day-to-day. Whether the celebration is a low-key brunch or birthday bash, stand out and give your friend a gift they will never forget.
