Have you been gifted a key when you were on your 21st birthday? Did you scratch your head and wonder what it’s for?
Gifting keys to those who turn 21 is an age-old tradition that’s practiced around the world! It signifies that the recipient is now a legal adult and has matured enough to be a “keyholder” of their home.
21 is the legal age in many countries, and once you’ve reached it, you’re considered legally responsible for your own actions, and have the right to own property, vote, and drive! While the age of majority is now lowered in many places to 18, the importance of a 21st birthday is that it symbolizes you as a “senior member” of the family.
If you have been invited to someone’s 21st birthday bash, why not gift them a key?
