What to ask for as an 18th Birthday Present?

So I'm coming up 18 soon and my mum would like to know what I want for my 18th Birthday and I have absolutely no idea. She doesn't want to spend any more than £200.
I've already passed my driving test so I don't need lessons, I bought my car and insurance myself already so I don't need money towards that and don't really want a personalised reg plate, I don't wear jewellery and already have a very good watch that I only ever wear for work. I don't really need clothes or shoes (so basically I'm a nightmare to buy for).
Any suggestions would be helpful...
Hey!
Can't you just take the money and see what you fancy?

That's what I wanted to do but she won't let me just have money for some reason
:frown:
Hmm anything you need for college? cant you save it up for a holiday? or anything you feel like doing on your birthday day, use it towards that? Have a gr8 day either way :smile:
If you're going to leave home then you could ask for practical things you'll need to buy? or you could spend it on a trip out with friends etc or if you were feeling generous you could donate it to charity, for people who really do need the money

I wanted to save some money up for a roadtrip around America but she doesn't think it is safe enough and doesn't want me to go- which is half the problem. I thought about looking at a new laptop but the one I have is only a year old so it would seem a waste to buy another one :ashamed2:

I turned 18 in September so I asked for a little trip down to my first choice uni, to have a look around (hadn't been before that)

Best birthday present ever :smile:
