  At their 18th birthday, teenagers are considered legal adults. While this is an important milestone in a teenager's life, it can also be a time of turmoil and uncertainty. When your child or friend turns eighteen, a special present can both comfort them and help them see their way going forward.
  
  

Profesional Clothing

• Take the 18-year-old to a clothing store and help him choose professional clothing. Whether he is going to college or he is going to start working full time, professional clothing will come in handy. Help him choose clothes that are both comfortable and reflect his personal taste and style. Getting to choose his own clothes for the next stage in his life helps him feel more confident about it.
  
  

Voice Recorder

• There is a lot going on when a teenager turns 18, and she will want a record of this time in his life. Give her a small voice recorder that she can carry around and make notes with. She might want quotes from her friends or she may simply want to record her own observations about the world around her. For a personal touch, record a message for her about how you feel toward her and what your hopes for her are in the future.
  
  

Coin

• A coin from the year of his birth is a small, casual gift for a teenager turning 18. There are many coin collectors shops and online vendors where you can find a coin from the right year, and you can also choose coins from other countries as well. If he has a interest in other countries, choose a coin from a country that he has been to or would like to visit someday.
  
  

Charging Station

• If your teenager loves her gadgets and is constantly charging half a dozen items, give her a charging station. A charging station requires only one power outlet, and it has adapters that allow her to charge a number of different portable electronics. This also allows the teenager to keep her phone, MP3 player and digital organizer in one place.
