21 small presents for a 21st birthday

The Volt

Hi all.

Looking to do something innovative for a friend's (female) birthday next month. I was thinking about getting a big bag and putting 21 small gifts inside instead of one big one and then explaining them all inside the card. Any thoughts? Also, if you think it's a good idea, what should I put in the bag?

I done this or tried to it for my sister a few years ago. Put in things like tea light, Hello kitty lollies, named keyring, retro hand-held game, hair bands etc. In the end I ran out of things to get her. So I threw in something completly random and humorous. It still hangs above her dresser. Good look OP.

Head into the euro store, have all sorts there like shampos, pens, hairbands and other stuff and should work out fairly good value

Retro sweets from her childhood, a beano or girly annual, a cd containing the number one single from each year of her 21 years, all things like this and then maybe a world charm for a bracelet telling her that the world is open for her.

Don't forget a picture-frame saying '21st' and include pictures in there from varying stages of her childhood, teens and special moments/days to remember for her to look back on & reminisce

Also, have a look at the retro forum here and the nostalgia thread here for items you could purchase that she would remember from her childhood upwards

Hope that helps in some way,

a hand mirror to remind her of her beauty, sweets to remind her of her heart, a poem that reminds you of her, a book of joyful quotes (you could make it yourself) to share your hopes for her future, a time capsule for her to fill on her 21st, a pressed flower (remembering my sis likes daisies), an empty photo album for her to fill with all the good times to come, a packet of wildflower seeds to spread joyfully, one of her fav books or trinkets from childhood... an old key on a chain (if she's not married) as a symbol she holds the key to unlocking someones heart once she finds him... a game of jacks (cos its silly fun), blooming flower tea, your own blend of bath salts ...................(I love gifting)
