DD is turning 18 and I want to get her something special and that she'll have for years to come. My parents got her diamond earrings, so that's out. Budget is around $1500. She's starting college in the fall so I was thinking of something like an LV Neverfull, but maybe that's silly? Any suggestions? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

She hasn't given us many good ideas...a pair of shoes (which I would probably buy her anyway as I know she'll need clothes for college). I mentioned the LV and she said she'd think about it; thought it might be too flashy for her. But then she said maybe a Goyard is more "under the radar" (not sure, but I'll take her word for it). But I can't figure out how to buy it online. [ Reply | More

OP--that's what I thought! She said that everyone knows LV, but not everyone knows Goyard. Honestly, I think the LV looks and feels more durable and high quality. I'm kind of leaning toward that because I honestly think you can always use a great tote for school, work, running errands, etc. Plus, while it may be NOKD on UB, I like LV. [ Reply | More

I got a luggage set and a big Laura Ashley weekend bag. I used the suitcase set for years. I still use my weekend bag 25+ years later. I think a 2 or 3 piece set of suitcases or soft luggage would be nice. The world will travel again. [ Reply | More

A nice Longines watch is right in this price range and will last for years to come. If she does not already have a sizable metal watch it may help her to feel more confident in college and for job interviews, etc. Bags are subject to wear and tear so I would not get one for this particular occasion since you mention you want it to last for a long time.
