Jewelry

Jewelry is a popular gift for women, including 18-year-olds. A beautiful piece of jewelry is bound to make an 18-year-old's birthday a good one. Along with dressing up an outfit or adding a touch of glitz to her look, jewelry can be very meaningful. Pick out a piece that uses a special stone, such as her birthstone. For girls who wear charm bracelets, give her a few charms reflect significant things in her life. For a final touch, have jewelry engraved with the date or a personal message.

Spa Trip

Let her relax at the spa.

A day at the spa is a relaxing experience that will make an 18-year-old feel like a queen on her birthday. Along with appreciating the healing benefits of the spa's serene setting, pamper her with a variety of treatments. A facial, scrubs, wraps, massages, manicures and pedicures will leave her feeling rejuvenated. At the end of the day, let her stop by the spa's shop to take home a few scented candles or lotions.

Concert Tickets

A concert is a fun way to celebrate a birthday.

Let her rock out on her birthday with tickets to a concert. Look online or in the newspaper to find out if one of her favorite bands is scheduled to play in the area. If so, purchase a couple of tickets for her and a friend. Plays, musicals, comedians and other shows are also great ways to celebrate an 18th birthday and are sure to be experiences that she'll never forget.

Perfume

Let her create a signature scent.

Perfume is a common gift for women of all ages. Before hitting the mall, find out the recipient's favorite scent. Along with the perfume, round out the present with lotions, creams and other cosmetics in her favorite fragrance. For a perfume that lets the birthday girl truly stand out, let her make her own signature scent. Custom perfumes, such as Aromachology's "Custom Fragrance" or Scent Crafters put a special twist on the traditional gift by letting the customer design their own perfume.
