Electronic equipment is something that you can never go wrong with when you are thinking of buying a gift for a guy.

So, if you are thinking of buying the latest electronic gadget, there are actually lots of options for you to choose from. A personal laptop, touch screen mobile phones, iPods, digital cameras, etc. are all great gift ideas for guys.
Sports Gifts
Just like gadgets, sports are something from which guys are inseparable. So, if your birthday boy is a sports freak and indulges in some kind of sport, giving a sports kit as a gift can be a great idea. For instance, if he has a keen interest in playing football, giving a football kit will surely be appreciated. Tickets for him and his friends to watch a live match of his favorite game will also make his day very special. Another option will be to give him a chance of trying out some kind of adventure sports like scuba diving, bungee jumping, river rafting, etc.
Accessories
Accessories are also great birthday gift options for boys. As it has become a style statement among guys to wear jewelry, giving him jewelry made specially for guys will be a good idea. Other than this, designer watches are also thoughtful gift ideas for a guy. Apart from watches, you can also gift him things like cool shades, wristbands, cuff links, silk ties or may be branded sport shoes.
Gifts for Girls
Clothes and Jewelry
When it comes to girls, clothes are something that first comes to one's mind as gifts. There are a variety of clothes that you can buy, however, if you are getting confused seeing the plethora of clothes around you, a gift certificate of a good clothes store will be more than enough. In case of jewelry, you can opt for silver chain with diamond pendant, a gold bracelet, earrings made of precious stones, etc.
Surprise Party
A surprise party will be a wonderful gift idea for a girl. If you are planning to throw a surprise party for your best friend, make sure that the day of the party does not clash with the party her parents are holding for her. You can arrange for a simple party or maybe a pool party at the nearby club, if your budget allows you to. Make all the arrangements beforehand and on the day of the party, take her to the club for a casual outing. She will surely have the surprise of her life to see all her friends at the same place, just for her.
Gym Equipment
Girls are said to be fitness freaks and what will be better than giving her a latest fitness equipment as a birthday gift. A treadmill or an elliptical trainer will be the ideal gym equipment that you can give as a gift. However, if you think that such equipment is beyond your budget, an annual membership to the local gym will also be loved by the recipient. Other than this, giving her a chance to enroll into some kind of dance or aerobic classes will also be a fabulous gift for a girl.
Presents for Guys and Gals
Apart from the above mentioned ones, there are several other gift ideas that you can choose from. Let us take a look at some of them.
- If your son or daughter is turning twenty-one, gifting him/her a car will be a fabulous idea. If your budget does not allow you to buy a brand new car, buying a second hand car will also do.
- As this is the age where people get their legal license to drink, a bottle of alcohol is a very common gift for these birthdays. A bar set which includes bar tools and a shaker will also be a gift that will be loved by them.
- If you are thinking of some funny gifts, t-shirts or caps with humorous messages about turning 21 like 'it took me 21 years to look this good' or 'buy me a beer, my 21st birthday is here', etc. will be a wonderful option. Other funny gift ideas include gag gifts which are plastic bugs, stinking flowers, insulting mirrors, backward moving clocks, etc.
