What to buy my 18-year old nephew?

My nephew has just turned 18 and I feel I should get him a present for reaching his official "manhood". It's a long time since I was that age and I don't really know what 18-year olds nowadays want. I would like it to be something useful.

Depends on a few things really
1) How much you're aiming to spend
2) What sort of lad he is, is he a hard working educational kinda lad, or a bit of a player with the ladies, or heavily in to computer games etc... (Not saying they are each exclusive before any gets the wrong idea)
3) Your relationship with him, all well and good us suggesting a crate of beer, a 12 pack of jonnies and a bundle of wank mags as a joking "pat on the back, now your a man" kinda thing, if you have a awkward or minimum relationship with him!
Is he into his car? - could buy something for his car, but perhaps not fluffy dice
Beer (well any alcohol) always goes down well
Does he like his computer? - he could appreciate computer games/bits and pieces for his comp.
Does he wear jewellery?
Does he smoke? A zippo lighter can be a nice present.
Boys are hard to buy for though :grump:
Thanks to you, that's what I keep reading it as now...
Repeating earlier posts depends completely on what they are like, how much you want to spend and your relationship with him.
Can't go wrong with the mandatory bottle of champers (they aren't that expensive really) then if you want to splash out a little, get a nice aftershave or something :thumb:
Good idea
indeed, i could do with a skivvy to clean my house:yes:
As for attracting the ladies, I can't help him on that, I'm afraid, he has to do that part himself and I don't think watches or whatever is the answer.
