Present For Daughter's 18Th

[mrs_overall]

My daughter is 18 shortly and has asked for money towards a trip abroad. As well as giving her money I would like to buy her something she can "keep" to remember her 18th but I have no idea what.
She is in her Goth phase right now so it would have to be something black. She doesn't wear jewellery and hates anything girly. I have asked her if there is anything she wants but she cannot think of anything.
I am stumped. Help!

That should be sufficient.

\\\\ to remember her 18th\\\

What is so special about her 18th birthday?

I didn't get anything "special" for MY 18th and neither did my kids.

Afternoon dave
I sent her down to my friend's handbag shop (she stocks lots of Goth stuff) and to the Goth shop in town but that drew a blank

charity gift in her name?

sqad, an 18th birthday wasn't the coming of age in your day!

my dad bought my niece a goat (for a family in africa), as she couldnt think of anything

... and there was a war on :)

[Sqad]

Ah! right .....(coming of age? what is she talking about?)

Of course....silly me.

[mrs_overall]

fluff, nice thought but remember my daughter is Yorkshire born and bred and believes that charity begins at home (i.e. is as tight as a duck's rear end)

Perhaps there might be something suitable here http://www.argoth.co.uk/acatalog/

How about tickets for some Goth band Mrs. O? She could keep the programme, ticket stubs, advertising merchandise as a memento.

A nice book from the folio society?

I've had this recommend to me by many: http://www.foliosociety.com/book/VAM/vampyre-and-other-tales-of-the-macabre

Or maybe you have a story you both like which you could find nicely wrapped?

[Sqad]

Mrs_O...LOL....nonsense, I didn't take it as rude.

Why not a gift token for an on-line Goth shop!

A black watch, everyone needs to know what time it is.
