Choosing the Best Gifts for 20-Year-Olds
20-year-olds are at a point in life that human developmental experts refer to as ‘emerging adulthood.’ They say that at this stage in life, 20-year-olds have a number of milestones to navigate as they officially leave behind their adolescent years and face their adult years. Because these young people find themselves at the ‘in-between’ age — considered adults yet still dependent on their parents, they need a lot of mentorship and guidance. Any written or audio material that can help them as they navigate through this stage of life would make a good gift.
Many in this age group are in the process of identifying their career goals and are also preparing to achieve them. Some will be in college, others may be working as apprentices while others are establishing their first business. Possible gift ideas would include anything that betters their college experience, a tool kit for their apprenticeship, or a diary and office organizer set for the emerging business person.
How we identified the best Gifts for 20-Year-Olds
We looked at the person holistically and found that the average 20-year-old still enjoys having fun with friends. We, therefore, recommended gifts that can be enjoyed with others as a way to encourage social interaction as part of the individual’s personal growth.
At this age, peer pressure is no longer a defining factor. Psychologists say that by the age of 18, people get better at setting boundaries and this leads to a decline in peer influence. With this in mind, we picked items that speak to a 20-year-old’s individuality and that improve their quality of life. A useful gift is always well received so we made sure to include those in our gift offering.
Tips for buying the best Gifts for 20-Year-Olds
- Ask them what they want
To make life easier for yourself and avoid wasting money on unwanted gifts, ask the 20-year-old in your life, what they want you to get for them. Once you have this information, do your research, determine whether or not you can afford the item, and then act accordingly. - Pay attention
If you tune in to the life experience of the 20-year-old you know, you will be able to figure out what’s going on with them and what their challenges are. By paying attention, you stay connected to them and soon you will see what they need which you can then provide in the form of a gift. - Consider their interests
As the saying goes: “One man’s meat is another man’s poison” — no two people share the exact same interests. Get gifts that honor what your recipient enjoys doing and you can be sure to get a thumbs up when you present the item.
