Gifts for Someone Turning 25 Who Is a Quarter Century Old and Has Thoughts About What That Means

Twenty-five is a funny age. Old enough to feel like something — a landmark, a number that sounds like an adult — and young enough to still be in the middle of figuring things out, which everyone is at every age but feels more acute here. Some people hit 25 with a sense of arrival: they have the job, the apartment, the general shape of the life they wanted. Some hit it with a sense of being slightly behind some imaginary schedule, which is not a real thing but feels real. Either way, 25 deserves a proper gift — not a novelty item about getting old, because 25 is not old, but something that meets them where they actually are and either celebrates what they've built or gives them something useful for what's still being figured out.
