The Perfect Gifts for 18-Year-Old Gals
Turning 18 is a pretty big deal, but shopping for an 18-year-old can be quite the challenge.
This can be especially true for 18-year-old women, as the gifts they want can be extremely spendy. If you can't quite get them a new car, iPhone or any of the other ultra-pricey items on their wish list, you can go with one of the items on our list of the perfect gifts for 18-year-old gals:
A Birthday Cake Flavored Lip Balm: $12
Glossier is a favorite brand of 18-year-old ladies everywhere, making this do-everything lip balm the perfect pick when you need to find a gift.

It may be a bit pricier, but it's a piece that just doesn't go out of style and is lined with a durable yet soft faux fur that will keep her warm winter after winter.
