With Virgin experience gifts, you can treat him to all kinds of awesome, edge-of-your seat thrills, including piloting, sailing, skydiving, white-water rafting and race car driving. Some of the experiences are everyday bucket list items like scuba diving or going on a hot air balloon ride, but others are tailored to specific interests.

himalayan salt block cooking tile

For the Grill Master: Himalayan Secrets Himalayan Salt Block Cooking Tile

If the birthday boy loves grilling, this Himalayan salt block can help ensure he seasons his food perfectly every time. There are three available sizes from which to choose – two of which come with a tray – and the blocks are much more versatile than he might first think.

If he chooses to grill with them, he’ll be adding a delicious, savory, salty flavor to his foods. Additionally, he can use them as serving trays for a variety of different foods, including sushi, ice cream, cheese and more.

They can also be used as building materials for salt spas, but that’s probably not going to be what he uses them for.

For the Kid at Heart: Original Smartphone Controlled Paper Airplanes Conversion Kit

If you have a buddy who is turning 25 but still a total kid at heart, this is the gift for him. It’ll provide him with an overwhelming sense of nostalgia and enjoyment as he builds an old-school paper airplane and has the opportunity to fly it at entirely new levels.

You also have the option of buying him either one or two speakers, both at very reasonable prices. The speakers will connect to anything with Bluetooth connectivity, meaning they work with either Apple or Android phones and products.

DIY guitar pick punch

For the Musician: Pick-a-Palooza DIY Guitar Pick Punch

If the guy in your life is a fan of playing the guitar or some other stringed instrument, chances are he probably goes through quite a few picks each month. Depending on how often he runs through them, buying new picks every time he wears one out or loses one can quickly become expensive, even though picks themselves are generally pretty inexpensive.

Cut down on the number of picks he has to buy by giving him this kit that’ll allow him to make his own. The Pick-a-Palooza acts much like a hole punch, only it cuts out full-size guitar picks from a wide variety of different materials instead of small holes.

personalized golf balls

For the Golfer: Wilson Ultra 500 Distance Personalized Golf Balls

For some reason, many men turning 25 often decide that it’s a good time to get involved with golfing. If your loved one feels the same way, start him off right in the sport with his very own, personalized golf balls.

These are high-quality, Wilson Ultra 500 distance golf balls. They aren’t cheap, generic brand balls that force him to sacrifice quality in exchange for being customizable. There are a dozen balls in the box, and you can add up to three lines of text with 17 characters on each line to all of them.

Whether you want to say ‘Happy Birthday’ or just give him golf balls with his name on them, this gift allows you to do just that.

tile pro 2020 pack

For the Forgetful Mind: Tile Pro 2020 2-Pack

beanie hat with headphones

For the Tech Head: Bluetooth Beanie Hat Headphones Caps Novelty Headwear

Most people love music, but listening to music with wired or wireless headphones or even AirPods isn’t always convenient depending on what else a person is doing at the time. A beanie, on the other hand, can be worn while running, exercising, in the middle of winter, on long, cool nights, etc.

Beanies are pretty universal and can be worn without too much hassle or extra added weight. This beanie comes equipped with Bluetooth technology that allows your friend to listen to his favorite music and answer his telephone calls, all without ever having to touch his phone or adjust aggravating headphones.

Your friend is sure to appreciate all the hilarious descriptions on the “pill bottle” such as the prescription written for “beer,” the dosage of “as many as you can stomach,” the referring doctor, “Dr.

Harold Feelgood” or even just the name on the prescription, which is “Mr. Hugh Jass.” If your friend has any sense of humor at all, he’s bound to love this drink insulator.

Hidden wall security safe

For the Perpetually Paranoid: Hidden Wall Safe Electrical Outlet Hidden Security Safe

It seems like in every group of friends, there’s that one person who constantly thinks someone is out to get him or who’s constantly trying to find new and interesting ways to hide his valuables. If this sounds like your friend, get him this hidden wall safe that no one would suspect is actually a safe at all.

It looks just like every other electrical outlet in his house, assuming his outlets are white. The screw in the middle that holds the outlet in the wall also acts as the key hole for the provided key.

The poster uses creative photography to write out “25 Years” and there’s plenty of empty white space around the center picture where all his friends, family and loved ones can sign their names along with little personalized messages for him.

It makes a great gift for anyone, and it can be used one of two ways. Either you can give it to him at his party and let all his guests sign it while they’re there, or you can buy it early and take it around to his friends and loved ones before his birthday and then have it framed for him, presenting it to him that way.

There’s also a small storage compartment on each drink holder that’ll hold his phone, keys, wallet, etc.

unbranded grow a girlfriend

For Your Single Friend: Unbranded Grow A Girlfriend

If the relationship you have with your friend is more of a ‘gag gift’ kind of relationship than a ‘serious gift’ type of relationship, this is absolutely, hands down, the perfect gift. Similar to the tiny rubber toys you might have played with as a kid that allowed you to grow yourself a dinosaur up to 600 times its original size, this toy lets your single friend grow himself a girlfriend instead.

This little girlfriend starts out at about two and a half inches tall, but once your friend drops her in the water, she blows up to 600 times her original size, just like the dinosaurs. It may not be the most thoughtful gift on our list, but it’s definitely the funniest.

T-shirt

Each one measures 19.4” x 1.5” x 1.8” and has both a lid to keep the food secure and a wooden handle that allows him to turn them without burning his hands. These are a must-have for anyone in your life who loves to grill.

hat and sash

For Covering Up Bad Hair Days: 25th Birthday Hat and Sash Men

This hat features the message that “25 has never looked so good!” as a reminder that even though your friend is another year older, that doesn’t mean he’s showing his age just yet. Turning 25 is one of most people’s favorite birthdays, and this hat commemorates that in style.

It’s made of 100% pure cotton and features a snap closure on the back to make it easily adjustable to most people’s heads. The material is durable and long-lasting, so the hat shouldn’t fade or tear with use.

This particular hat also comes with a matching sash. While your friend probably won’t go around wearing that, it’s a fun little addition for him to wear at his party.

Finding the Right Present for 25 Years of Living

25 years of anything is a big deal. When celebrating 25 years of marriage, the traditional gift is silver. When celebrating 25 years of life, though, there is no “traditional gift.” That makes it harder. For most people, 25 is a big year, so of course you want to get something to help your friend, relative or loved one celebrate his 25th birthday and make it special. With no “traditional gift” to help guide you in the right direction, how exactly do you pick the perfect gift?

The answer is actually quite simple. You know your loved one; if you didn’t, you wouldn’t likely feel moved to buy him a gift. Use what you know about him to help you find the perfect gift. Buy him something related to his interests or hobbies; buy him something that loudly proclaims “25 is the best age ever!” Buy him something to make his life easier or more convenient, or buy him something that’s just plain fun.

For most people, 25 is a great birthday. It’s that perfect balance between finally being old enough to settle down and not get into quite so much trouble and young enough to still have a lot of great fun. Give him something that recognizes that, spend some time with him, add a little food and drink to the mix, and he’s bound to call it the perfect birthday.
