Looking for suggestions for a gift for my granddaughter who will be turning 21 soon. She is in college and I want to get her something more than money in a card.  Thanks in advance.

A keepsake necklace could work. I was thinking of something that she could treasure forever remembering her grandmother gave it to her on her 21st birthday.

Great idea. Keepsake jewelry piece is meaningful for years to come.

Last year I actually started wearing a ring my aunt, who served as my godmother for my confirmation, gave to me. It's gold with two rubies (my birthstone) and two (not sure what...they don't look like diamonds, maybe white topaz) clear stones on each side. On a diagonal, like they form almost a flower shape (not linear.) Anyway...all these years later, it looks nice, I wear it from time to time when I have on gold. I think of my aunt.

I agree with a keepsake piece of jewelry. I would go with something classic in whatever is her favorite to wear- necklace, ring, bracelet, or earrings.

How about a ring with your birthstone and her birthstone together? That would be special.

You can give her a personalized cell phone cover. This way you know she will have it with her at all times.

I bought one of my daughters a bracelet and the other daughter a necklace from Tiffany’s. They both loved them! Not sure how much you want to spend but there are some between $250-$350.

I agree with the other posters.  Jewelry ALWAYS works, especially Gold.

All paid expense trip to somewhere she have never been before.

Do you want to get her what you want her to have, or what she wants? Don't laugh.  I'm serious.  If you want to give her a keepsake, give her something of yours.  If you want to give her a gift, give her what she wants or needs.

You might remember what you gave her; she might remember what you did for her.

You need to base this on 2 things:

 - what is her love language (quality time, gifts, service, positive affirmations, affection)

 - what is her natural inclination (likes experiences, sentimental, active/doer, intellectual)

What works for one, doesn't for others (ie if she's not sentimental, a keepsake jewelry piece will be a flop).

She would benefit the most from a 'Dressing Your Truth' kit/membership (whatever they call it - there are different offerings). It's lifetime help/knowledge of herself and others.
