• Of all the milestone birthdays, turning 21 is a very important age for a young adult. Turning 21 not only gives someone the ability to legally purchase alcohol, but it is also landmark that signifies adulthood. Most young adults that are turning 21 will soon graduate from college, get their first "real" job, and have to deal with increasingly important responsibilities. That's why turning 21 calls for a special gift.
  
  

Pub or Bar Signs

• Because 21 is the age that you can officially purchase liquor in the U.S., a personalized pub or bar sign is a fun and special way to commemorate this significant birthday. Searching for a particular pub that has the same name as the birthday guy or girl is a fun way to make sure that there is a real bar named after the person. You can also have a sign designed at a local sign shop, even though this might prove to be costly, with their name and pub or bar after it. Another special idea would be to give them a sign from their local bar or pub.
  
  

Experience

• A particularly thoughtful and special gift for turning 21 is an experience gift. An experience can be tickets to a concert of his favorite band, a vacation or weekend away somewhere special for a group of friends (or just his significant other), sporting event of his favorite team, or perhaps a musical or Broadway play. These gifts are special because they are very personalized to the person's taste and/or interests and allow her to experience an event that she can enjoy with her friends.
  
  

Personalized Champagne

• Because turning 21 means that you can legally consume alcohol, it is a fun idea to celebrate with a bit of bubbly. Personalized champagne bottles with the recipient's name and date of birth are a fun and special way to celebrate a 21st birthday. Get a few extra bottles so that the birthday girl or guy can take the bottles to his friends' houses or save for a keepsake of his or her 21st birthday.
  
  

Surprise Party

• Throwing a surprise party for someone that is turning 21 is a good gift because they may not have had the money or venue to throw the party themselves. Because turning 21 is a big event for most people, it is a special way to show that you care about them and want them to have a great time on their 21st birthday.
