Sparky · 03-07-2005 8:47pm #1

My cousins turning 18 this weekend and i havnt a clue what to get him, i dont like just giving money because it looks like i hav'nt made an effort

I might get a digital camera for him, but then again im not sure if he already has one

Id love some ideas.
Thanks

so you're interested in spending a significant amount of money? like 100/200 plus?

airetam_storm · 03-07-2005 8:49pm

Interests\hobbies?
Your budget?

Willy Warmer or ****load of credit

Kevin_rc_ie · 03-07-2005 8:51pm

i wouldn't get him credit. i'd rather receive cash than mobile phone call credit.

Sme of my mates were buying me an 18th present they just rang me up and asked me for some general ideas. Better thangetting something he might not like. Just get him a real present from some suggestions and a sort of funny present that he doesn't know about. He gets a surprise and something you know he wants.

I dunno expensive aftershave

Sparky · 03-07-2005 9:05pm

id rather get a surprise, because i always give surprises, id be willing to spend 100-150 euros.

TBH, i dont know what hobbies or interests he has.

I think he might be more of a collector because ive somtimes seen models and stuff that you would leave on display on a table.

Yeah i noticed that one

airetam_storm · 03-07-2005 9:07pm

A huge model aeroplane\boat?

The camera could be a good idea

segadreamcast · 03-07-2005 9:08pm

Something cool and movie-related... this would go down well I think, especially if he's a collector of things...

ajmurphy62 · 03-07-2005 9:08pm

well i got my cousin a blow up doll for the laugh + vouchers for hmv and aftershave. spent about 150 on him, and he was pleased with them. As long as he gets pissed on the night he'll be happy, trust me. LOL

airetam_storm · 03-07-2005 9:16pm

Yeah a blow up doll is a must

Try some of the antique stores in town for cool stuff

Oh dont worry he will be getting pissed, no doubt about that, i have a feeling i may just get the camera, because i think he is just using his sister's one at the moment

A huge bottle of champers?
Would be a super novelty & he'd be all like, 'Yeh, my cousin got me that. It's cool, innit?!'

Kevin_rc_ie · 03-07-2005 9:22pm

personally speaking, i'd rather get a digital camera.

Yeah i just may well do that, its a good 3mega pixel one and has good memory, id leave the champers to my aunt because im sure they would rather get it for the celebration

kittenkiller · 03-07-2005 9:30pm

You can just save the huge bottle of bubbly for MY birthday!
