The Tools for Rules

You want your friend to have fun, but drink responsibly. The pocket breathalyzer key chain is a great gift idea. Your friend can check his/her alcohol consumption level before they gets behind the wheel. The small and attractive gadget also features an LED flashlight and a timer that shows how much time is left on the parking meter.

Beautiful Birthdays

A cute charm bracelet is a great gift for a lady turning twenty one. Choose one made of Swarovski crystal or go with another piece of quality personalized jewelry that suits their style.

Some come with poems to commemorate this important birthday.

If you can't find one premade, choose beads from a charm bracelet store and assemble your own based on her likes and tastes.

True to the Spirit of 21

Get her, or him, a pewter necklace with a fun saying like "No Limits, 21" that they can wear when they go out with their friends to celebrate their big night.

You can also buy a more elegant version with a twenty one done in diamonds for a special daughter but who says she won't like the beads "No Limits, 21" necklace?

Drink Your Gift Away

If you're going to celebrate with a six pack or two, give your friend a personalized set of bottles for their 21st birthday! It's creative, clever and so much fun.

You can order personalized beer or wine bottle labels that bear his or her name.

It's a fun treat when they open the package and look closely at the brand, not to mention they'll be a gift that they keep for a long time! How many people can say they have personalized labels on their drinks?

Girly & Cute

Have a kitty lover on your list? If your friend loves Hello Kitty, gift her with a bottle of Brut Rose champagne, yes it really does exist! And don't you just think it is absolutely darling?

You can order it through Wine.com complete with the Hello Kitty label and kitty charm around the bottle neck. I love when you can order gifts online and not have to worry about shipping it or anything, just send it straight to the birthday girl!

Way too cute for the girl who is still a big fan of Hello Kitty!

Bottoms Up!

As a nod to his or her newly granted privileges of drinking legally, give him or her an engraved flask. There are plenty of options out there and there are some that even come personalized with a lighter as well.

You can get them in pink crystal for the ladies or black leather for the guys.

Fill with their favorite beverage and you've got yourself a gift to go.
