Our Favourite Gifts for 18th and 21st Birthdays

Whether you’re a godparent, aunt, or parent, it can be tricky to find a gift that feels original, useful, and meaningful for years to come. That’s why our bespoke leather-bound book service is such a favourite.

We take the interior of any book — from Harry Potter to treasured poetry collections to beloved sports stories — and rebind it in a leather of your choice. Add embossed initials or a name on the cover for a truly personal touch. A one-of-a-kind gift that will be enjoyed now and cherished for a lifetime.

Our personalised leather Perudo set is a firm favourite — and a bestseller for good reason. Neatly packed in its cotton travel bag, it’s as chic on the coffee table as it is easy to take away on holiday. With its timeless mix of colours, it suits any age or occasion. Play as a family, at uni, on a weekend away, or at a dinner party — this is a game that brings everyone together.

Carrying on the games theme, we can’t resist these towelling backgammon sets — perfect to pack for every adventure. Light and portable, they can handle sand, sea, or even a splash from the pool without worry. Add embroidered initials or a name for an extra-personal touch, and they become the ideal companion for holidays, weekend getaways, or even a gap year abroad.
