jeff10 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Hi Folks. I thought I'd throw this out to the forum and see if I might get some ideas for a present for my daughter who turns 18 on the 6h!! HELP! I've spent days marching around the shops but just end up wandering home empty handed. We need to pull together here in pilot comradeship and help me out. All suggestions will be gratefully appreciated. Oh, buy the way. Amy's already been promised her drivers licence. She just hasn't had the time to begin. Otherwise that would be a good gift. Cheers !!

t_andrews Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Driver training. Drop your insurance and keep your daughter alive with early safe habits. Works for us doesn't it? ...the alive bit anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcs Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Give her the budget to go on a gap year backpacking and learn about the big wide world before deciding her place in it. It'll be the best education she's ever had and she'll have huge confidence on her return too! That's exactly what I'm doing for my daughters when they reach 18 or 21!

learner_driver Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I remember being 18 and not knowing what I would do for a living / fun . People always derive a greater sense of self worth when they acquire new skills e.g. a course on something she previously expressed interest . RYA certificate so she can pilot a yacht Glider Pilot course or perhaps one with an engine rally driving golf pottery kittens and knitting ? used to be popular for girls in the 50's dare I suggest Paramotoring course with the host SW !! I am sure you get the jist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff10 Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 Actually she has had a chance to do a tandem flight but prefered to watch her brother go. He was 11 at the time and loved it. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
