Give an 18-year-old girl a gift certificate to a spa and make her feel like royalty. The spa provides a serene environment where the birthday girl can relax and be rejuvenated. Select a spa that can pamper her with a variety of treatments, such as manicures and pedicures, facials, massages, scrubs and wraps. Spas also often have shops that sell specialty items such as scented candles or lotions, so she can take home reminders of her relaxing day.

Many women, including 18-year-olds, love to wear jewelry. Not only will jewelry make her ears glitter or her neckline dazzle, jewelry can also hold deep significance. Special stones, such as birthstones, signify the girl's month of birth and can be used to make a piece of jewelry more special. Charm bracelets can include charms that hold special meaning to the girl. Even jewelry purchased for aesthetics alone can be given more sentimental value by having it personally engraved.
