Girls at the age of 14 are very controversial: they rarely know what they want and practically do not have unshakable attitudes regarding their own place in this world. These are no longer children, but still not adults, and therefore choosing a gift for such a person is a troublesome and responsible matter.
Age features
14 years - adolescence with all the ensuing consequences. And in each case, the puberty period proceeds with individual characteristics. But almost all girls at this age tend to sharply, sometimes rapidly changing their own views, beliefs, hobbies. The young lady begins to pay more attention to her appearance, she wants to like the representatives of the opposite sex and this is a perfectly normal situation. So the girl grows psychologically, turns into a girl.
Girls at this age are easily offended, they can be insulted even with a carelessly thrown word, a look and an inappropriate gift too. They are dubious, critical of their own appearance and at the same time - great romantics in the soul, dreamers and dreamers.
All this must be taken into account when choosing a gift for a young person of 14 years old.
It should also be remembered that the girl is still looking for herself, every day she mentally tries on herself different images, professions, life paths, beliefs - she has not yet formed her own. But she may have very specific wishes, for example, often at this age girls dream of a large tattoo in their entire arms or back, pink hair color, like an anime heroine. therefore it’s worth asking the teenager’s opinion about a possible gift, but you don’t need to rush to fulfill all the wishes of a fourteen-year-old beauty.
When choosing a gift from adults, some prudence is required, but you should not give the child what you like and obviously do not like the hero of the occasion. Look for compromise options.
For a young person at a specified age, it practically does not matter from whom she will receive the desired gift, since ideas about what is decent and what is not have not yet settled in a beautiful young head. The donor himself has to take this factor into account.
Give a girl such a present which will exactly match the degree of closeness of your relationship. A strange gift will be beautiful panties from a distant relative who last saw the girl for a toddler, but the same panties as a gift from her mother will be quite appropriate and pleasant for the girl.
Escaping with a duty book with fashionable tips for teens or a soft toy is the destiny of the weak and indifferent. If the hero of the occasion is dear to you, approach the choice of a gift for her based on her character, interests, hobbies, wishes, but taking into account the principles of rationality and decency.
And before you start choosing, check out the list of what exactly don’t need to give.
- Slippers, pajamas, bathrobes - we are talking about the most ordinary products of this kind, but today kigurumi costumes that teenage girls use both as home clothes and warm winter pajamas can be quite appropriate if the girl dreams of such an image.
- Any presents who are called in one way or another to correct the flaws in the appearance of the young person (girls at the age of 14 are already painful about their flaws). Therefore, the book on how to lose weight in three days, how to turn from an ugly duckling into a swan in a week, as well as makeup kits to combat acne will only offend the girl. An exception is anti-acne cosmetics and care products presented, for example, by mom or grandmother.
- Gifts designed to correct the character and inclinations of the child. It's about encyclopedic and scientific publications that some parents present to their children who do not want to study well in the hope that books, stationery and other attributes of excellent students “will make a real person out of a daughter”. They will not, but only cause bewilderment and grief.
The exception is cases when a girl is really interested in science and wants to receive just a reference book or an encyclopedia as a gift.
Top Useful Gifts
In thinking about a gift for a young fourteen-year-old person who is someone like you, for example, daughter, girlfriend, sister, you can go into such impassable wilds that it will be difficult to figure out what a teenager needs and what you want to present to him. The gift should be pleasant, desirable and in demand, useful specifically for the girl. We present some of the most common choices for fourteen (birthday), New Year's and Women's Day for persons of a specified age.
- Gadgets. Gifts that fall into this category are considered the most desirable among teenagers. If you specify the names, then most often teenage girls want to get a new smartphone, tablet computer, laptop or netbook, e-book, smart watches with a built-in calorie counter, steps, as well as the ability to access the Internet and send messages. Whatever the attitude of the older generation to gadgets in the family, this is a win-win gift option. In addition, the benefits of gadgets with moderate use cannot be denied: they can store and use electronic textbooks, programs for preparing for exams.
- Accessories for gadgets. It is quite appropriate to accept such gifts from friends and classmates, especially since they are not so expensive and you can find quite budgetary and affordable options for any occasion. Such presentations include a selfie stick, a fashionable case for a phone or tablet, a stand for gadgets, headphones (wireless devices are especially popular today).
- Cash. A great gift option if by the day of the celebration there wasn’t a single idea worth presenting or the girl is not a close relative to you. Girls at this age are very fond of buying something themselves, they usually save for something, and the donated money will be very useful to them. It is only important to understand that slipping a folded bill into the fist with the birthday girl or the culprit of another celebration with words of congratulation is a bad form. Present a safe deposit box with the first installment in it, either put the bills in a beautiful envelope or make a bunch of them, inflate a balloon, inside of which I will lay the bills donated neatly folded and tied with thin ribbons.
- Interior things - oddly enough, but girls at 14 years old, and women at 50 years old love things to decorate the interior. Especially by the way will have a gift if the girl has her own separate room. You can present it by first asking what style the room is furnished with, a stylish suitable table lamp, separate comfortable sofa cushions, a fluffy and soft plaid, high-quality large posters with the image of her favorite artist, musician, athlete. For any interior, a stylish and useful night lamp is suitable, which projects a starry sky on the walls and ceiling, as well as an unusual alarm clock, which, for example, needs to be caught or shot from a laser pistol so that it shuts up at the appointed time.
- Toys - the girl grew up and Winx dolls will not suit her anymore, although earlier they caused wild delight. Now the toys should be completely different. Usually, at age 14, girls really appreciate anti-stress toys, for example, a soft toy-heating pad in bed, a spinner, an interactive ball of magic predictions, a ball-perplexus, and other puzzles. At leisure, many girls with great pleasure collect puzzles and this is not unusual. Among board games, give preference to “Mafia” and “Monopoly”, and among games for a large company, you should pay attention to “Twister”.
- Book - Better if it is electronic. Her girl will be able to fill with works of her own taste. But if a girl prefers paper books, then it is best to give her a certificate in a large book distribution network, in which she herself, as part of a paid certificate, will be able to choose the books that she is really interested in.
- Gift certificates - this is, in general, a cash gift option, but with a deferred perspective and purpose. If a girl dreams of going to a beauty salon, why not give her a certificate there - let her feel like an adult by doing a manicure and hairstyle in a real beauty salon. A pet lover can be presented with a certificate at a pet store, and a sport and active lifestyle enthusiast can be presented with a sporting goods store.
Useful and versatile gifts also include sweet sets. Today it is possible to order a personalized chocolate set with personal wishes on each candy.
Girls love flowers, jewelry, perfumes (if you know exactly which fragrance a young fashionista prefers).
We take into account interests
If the sphere of interests of the young princess is known, it is better to choose a thematic gift that she can use in her favorite activities. A thematic gift of interest should not be too expensive, because interests themselves at this age often change, but it must be necessary. Here are a few hobby gifts ideas.
- A girl who is interested in cooking, cooking - A cookbook with vivid illustrations and step-by-step recipes, an original kitchen apron with an unusual pattern, a set of silicone molds for baking muffins, cupcakes or low tide shaped candies, a set of food colors and decor for cookies and cakes that the girl will bake with her own hands.

Fashion Ideas
Choosing clothes or accessories for a teenager is a very difficult task, because fashion does not stand still, moreover, a particular girl may have individual preferences. It is safe to say that a girl will not refuse a fashionable thing, nor a busy accessory, for example, an umbrella with a print, a handbag or a backpack, a scarf or sunglasses, but she still must choose such things herself. Therefore, it would be better to give her a shopping trip to the store with a predetermined amount, within which she can choose her favorite things.
With jewelry, everything is somewhat simpler - it is difficult to find a girl who would not be happy with beautiful earrings or a ring, but don’t give too expensive jewelry, because at this age children are very mobile and distracted, expensive jewelry can break, get lost. It is better to choose jewelry that will exactly match the style of the fashionista.
It is important to remember that massive, heavy jewelry is not suitable for a teenager, it is better to give preference to thin, elegant bracelets, chains and earrings.
Cosmetics is also one of the gifts that teenagers desire. Many girls at the age of 14 are already starting to use decorative cosmetics, but without an exact knowledge of the preferences of the young beauty, she should not choose shades, lipstick and mascara. It is better to give preference to leaving cosmetics for teenagers, avoiding a direct hint of acne and other "delights" of the puberty period.
Almost any girl will be pleased with the gift dryer, curling iron, and ironing. But such gifts are best presented in a set with heat-protective hair products, as well as with clear recommendations that frequent thermal exposure destroys hair.
Also, a teenager at 14 years old can give his own manicure set.
If the budget is limited
If the budget for a gift is limited, do not worry - even inexpensive gifts are amazing, especially if they are made with their own hands. You can bake a girl a box of cookies with predictions, sew or tie a very interesting phone case, you can give a handmade box for various girlish secrets and little things. Very interesting and solemnly look bouquets made of chocolates and wrapping paper, home-made hair clips from beads, leather; bracelets, headbands, lovingly decorated with your skillful hands.
From inexpensive gifts, you should pay attention to the name mug from which the girl can drink tea or cocoa in the morning, as well as the “smart” keychain, which whistles on a conditional signal and allows her mistress to quickly find the keyring where this keychain is attached.
