Brilliant idea, I only wish I had thought of it for DS.

I do believe strongly in creating memories to mark occassions rather than just vouchers, latest phone etc. DS seems to enjoy as he often recalls such occasions. Not necessarily expensive just special.

Interesting idea...

I suspect most things need to be personal but I suppose some generic ideas might be.. going somewhere remarkable, doing something new and exciting, learning a new skill, reading something life-changing, buying condoms learning wanking techniques bonding in a manly way etc ... and then personalised for preference.

no, we haven't but like the idea for DS's 18th (couple of years yet). Am bumping because I think it's a great idea.

Have just read an article about a boy whose dad helped him plan a year of coming of age projects. They ranged from walking the London loop to taking an off road driving lesson, or arranging a dinner party. He did 13 projects in all to reflect his turning form a child o a teen.

Has anyone done anything similar? Or would you consider doing something like this? If so, what would you/ did you do?
