1. "The Mini Bar: 100 Essential Cocktail Recipes"

I am beyond obsessed with this set of recipe books for classic cocktails! It is the cutest set that would look adorable on a bar cart and definitely come in handy when trying to make fancy cocktails!

"I love this little collection of books! I’ve given it to several of my friends for their 21st birthdays, and it’s always so well received. we even tried the mojito recipe, and it was so so good!"

2. "Somebody Loves You" Crewneck

Have you seen how cute these crewnecks are from The Mayfair Group? They are all about mental health and I love what their brand stands for! Check out some of their designs, and definitely get one for your friend as a 21st birthday gift.

They have options for both men and women which is awesome for gift-giving purposes!

"love how comfy this crewneck is! Its a happy lounge set that gets lots of complements when I wear out with jeans"

3. "Get Lit" Birthday Party Pack - Spiked Ice Cream

I feel like a 21st birthday is the best possible occasion to have spiked ice cream! Doesn't that sound like so much fun? You will love that this is the birthday party pack because it fits the occasion so well!

The flavors sound bomb and I'm sure your birthday girl (or boy) will really enjoy it!

"Surprised that ice cream was still frozen upon arrival in Arizona. Packaging was exceptional. Ice cream is delicious. What a unique gift."

4. Joolz by Martha Calvo Pearl & Chain Initial Necklace

This jewelry has been all over my social media feeds, and it is perfect for a 21-year-old birthday gift! The design is super unique but very classy and simple! I want this for myself! 

"Might be my coolest necklace right now I'm obsessed"

5. Rosé Wine Sampler 

For the girl who loves rosé, this gift set is so cute! I am actually obsessed with the packaging of the bottles and the fact that you get four mini bottles of wine! This is such a fun way for the birthday girl to try some new wine and enjoy the perks of being 21!

"The wine flights from In Good Taste are priced very well for the experiences they offer. In Good Taste flights would make a fantastic gift for someone who has just started to love wine."

6. Birthdate Candle

Custom candles have been super trendy lately, but this one might be one of my very favorites. The candle is customized with the birthdate (of who you are celebrating) and all of their horoscope stats on the label! I know some people who are into astrology and would die for this gift!

"My friend LOVED her candle!! The scent was perfect and fit her to a T. The reading was shockingly on point as well and it was so fun to see her surprise as she read it."

7. Brumate Hopsulator Slim Can-Cooler

Break out the White Claws and High Noons, this slim can cooler is amazing for keeping all of your favorite seltzers cold! They come in a ton of cute patterns and colors, but this black leopard print was so cute to me.

If you want to take this gift to the next level, find a place that will engrave this metal coozie for you and customize it with the birthday girl or boy's name!

"I got this couple months ago and I absolutely love it. Design is incredible, perfectly match with my collection. Now I am going to order gold leopard too!!"

8. Baked By Melissa Birthday Box of Cupcakes 

YUM! Don't know what to get for the girl who has everything? The birthday boxes of Baked By Melissa cupcakes are soooo cool! You get to pick all of the flavors out online (and there are some good ones) and then ship it right to the birthday girl! So cool!

"After years of epic birthday cake fails, my husband loved the Baked by Melissa cupcakes that I ordered. It was great that I could pick out some of his favorite flavors and watch him enjoy them."

9. Himalayan Salt Tequila Glasses- Set of 4

Okay, cute!! Shot glasses are the perfect gift for a 21st birthday (duh) and these ones are super trendy and cute. You could totally leave these out on a bar cart and let them function as decor, and the fact that it comes with a tray makes it even better!

"First of all, these are the best pants I have ever put on my body. Sorry other pants, these are the only pants I wear now. Best of luck in your new homes."

15. Lustered Shot Glasses, Set of 4

These shot glasses from Anthropologie are stunning! The whole line is absolutely gorgeous, but for price purposes for a gift, the set of four shot glasses is the way to go! The iridescent glass and gold rim combination look amazing!

"These are the most beautiful shot glasses I own. They sit beautifully on my bar cart. I love the unique shape and detail."

16. Trendy Potted Plant 

I think a plant is such a fun gift. Make sure you really consider the person you are giving it to though, because some people may think of this as being more of a chore than a gift! For those people, there's a gorgeous dried bouquet a little further down on this list.

The Sill is an amazing company because they ship the plant right to your door. They even offer a plant subscription service which would make an even better gift!

"The plants arrived safely and weren't difficult to take care of, which is why I've used The Sill many more times to buy green gifts for my mom and boyfriend."

17. "Tamsin" Decanter

Cute bar cart accessory alert!! I am obsessed! This pastel decanter would look so good on a bar cart, so if you know your birthday girl is putting together a bar cart, this is a perfect gift!

18. Baggu Reuseable Shopping Tote

Baggu bags make the best gift!! They are super handy, they come in a ton of different colors and patterns, and they have different sizes. This colorful one is very fun and funky, but they also have plain colors and simple patterns!

"This bag is amazing. Highly recommend. Folds up into a tiny lightweight envelope but when opened, expands to fit a TON of groceries. Sturdy and appears to be water resistant."

19. Bar Tool Set 

This bar tools set is so cute! The green and gold combination is soo classy. Just like the decanter, if you know your birthday girl is planning on putting together a bar cart or any bar situation, this set is a perfect gift!

"A very pretty bar tool set, perfect for the beginner bartender. Also lovely to have on display when not in use."

20. Colorful Checkered Swirl Yoga Mat 

Is your birthday girl super into yoga or working out? Get her something that she will use all the time and is super trendy looking too. I genuinely don't think I've ever seen a yoga mat so cute!

"This yoga mat is a must have!! Exactly like pictured!"

21. "No Days Wasted" Hangover Recovery Bundle 

This is definitely going to come in handy the day after the big birthday celebration ;). Not only do the reviews say it actually works, but the packaging is so cute. I want it just because the packaging is so cute!

"Amazing! Works like a charm. No days wasted is the best way to describe it. Wake up like you never even touched a drink or two."

22. Flower Claw Clips 

Have a super trendy friend? These flower clips are so adorable and definitely will be used by your friend often! The colors in this set are so cute and unique, your friend is sure to love them as her 21st birthday gift.

You can't go wrong with gifting a nice bottle of alcohol for a 21st birthday gift! Champagne is my gift of choice because it is so celebratory!

"One of the most popular of all Champagnes, this is now showing a freshness that wasn't always there. The crisp texture and green-apple flavors give it an immediate drinkability"

26. "One Line A Day" Five Year Memory Journal

This five-year memory journal has been my recent obsession. I don't have it, but I've been obsessed with the idea of getting it hahaha. Basically, it's a journal with a page for every day of the year, and five sections on each page to fill out on that day for the next five years. This is the gift that keeps on giving!

"It's only been about a month, but already I know it's going to be so fun to look back over the years and remember the big and little things that have happened each day. Just wish I would've started this sooner!"

27. College Town Custom Etched Whiskey Glasses

Guys love to pretend that their favorite drink is a glass of whiskey. So, fulfill their dreams and get them a whiskey glass with a map of their college town etched on it. Isn't that such a cool idea?

"The glasses came and were better looking than we had imagined. We are thrilled with them and will definitely Be sharing the idea with others"

28. Pace Breaker Lined Short 7"

Want a gift that the birthday boy will wear all the time and constantly tell you how much he loves? These Lululemon shorts are really pricey, but they really are great. Every guy I know that has these, LOVES them.

29. Koval Whiskey Gift Pack

Just like the Rosé Wine Sampler, this Koval Whiskey Gift Pack will give your birthday boy the chance to try a couple of whiskeys and find one he likes. This would pair super well with the custom whiskey glasses!

"These sneaks are great, nothing like classic styling and enduring comfort. I have been wearing Reeboks for a long time and they never disappoint."

31. "The New Craft of the Cocktail" Recipe Book

This book is super masculine, and the perfect gift for a guy just getting into making cocktails. You could pair this gift with all of the ingredients to make one of the cocktails, and I'm sure he would be very excited to make them for everyone ;).

"I’ve bought this book a few times now. It’s an excellent gift. This book is great at taking you through different cocktails, and really expanding on them."

32. YETI Rambler 12 oz. Colster Can Insulator

These YETIs are awesome, people seriously say that they can keep your beer cold overnight! I have also seen these YETI colster cans engraved with the recipient's name on them, and that is an awesome gift!

"Very thick and warm hoodie. Has a nice, heavy feel and is very warm. Also has a cool little hidden pocket inside the pouch."
