I would just put her name on. Anything else would not be street cred. smile She will always know it is from her gran.
I have an ancient Stratton case with mirror with no inscription at all and so many people have commented on it over the years. I just tell them its special and was from my mum. Has a beautiful swan on with blue background.

Like Maw I think "all grown up" etc. no matter how you word it sounds cheesy.

Mary Jane

love from, nan

The 13 characters is restricting.

Nice idea!

“All grown up “ sounds very patronising and the thing about voting could be superseded if the voting age is dropped to 16 as some are suggesting.

How about her first name
“From your loving Gran “ on the second?

Hi everyone!

It's my eldest granddaughter's 18th birthday next month, and as a little gift that she can carry around with her, I've decided to buy an engraved handbag mirror but I don't really want to write anything on it that will specifically say 18th Today or anything like that, as there is facility to put the date on in another place. Unfortunately though, I've got a mental block, and can't think what I might put, so I thought I'd consult with all you 'Grans', and see what ideas you can come up with. The layout is like this

3-13 characters on the first line
AND
3-13 characters on the second line

To give you an idea of what I'm thinking of I would like something that maybe alludes to her being an adult, ie All Grow Up! or Officially You Can Vote Now, something along those lines.

Over to you lot and thanks in anticipation.
