Choosing a gift for a teenage girl is a very difficult task. This is no longer a child, but still not an adult. She is unlikely to be happy with a soft toy, but is not yet able to appreciate the "adult" gifts, for example, a telescope or a microscope. The fact that usually at that age girls themselves really do not know what they want makes the task more difficult. And then you have to make maximum imagination to please the young lady.

Traditional gifts

The first thing that comes to the donor’s head is traditional gifts. These include sweets, gadgets, clothes or shoes. It is important to take into account the reason - a gift for the New Year has its own symbolic features, and a birthday present is a completely different matter, it must definitely emphasize the girl’s personality. When choosing, be sure to consider some of the advice of psychologists. Specialists in the field of developmental psychology claim that For girls aged 12-15, their own appearance becomes very important, and for their decoration they usually spare no effort or time.

A teenage girl really wants to like others, especially representatives of the opposite sex, and this is a completely normal stage of growing up.

Therefore, choosing a gift for a friend, daughter, It’s important to dwell not on what you consider to be the best for yourself, but on what should be appreciated by the person to whom the gift is intended. If you are at a loss about your choice, talk with a friend of your daughter, with the children of your friends, if they are in their teens to find out what is actually fashionable now. After that, you can safely go to choose something traditional from the list below.

Cosmetics & Perfumes

It is no secret that many girls at the age of 13-15 start using cosmetics. Naturally, bright lipsticks and acid-colored nail polishes for a young lady are not needed yet, but because try to give such a set that she can easily use in her daily life. This includes hygienic lipstick with a delicate fruity smell (it helps a lot not to weaken lips during physical education lessons on the street, on the way to school, while walking), softening hand cream, toilet water with an unobtrusive aroma of freshness or fruit.

You can add in a gift set of cosmetics nail polish of a flesh or a gentle pastel shade, a manicure set so that the girl can maintain her nails in well-groomed condition, some beautiful elastic hairpins, if she has long hair.

Favorably complement your gift set shower gel, shampoo (if you know the hair type of the person to whom the gift is intended).

Do not focus on adult cosmetics, its composition can harm problem teenage skin. There are special lines of teenage cosmetics, such as BioBeauty, MAC, Covergirl.

You can give a set of makeup products, teenagers are always happy for her, because the problem of acne during puberty is acute. pay attention to lines created specifically for teenagers: Clinique, Neutrogena, La Roche-Posay, Vichy.

Jewelry

Depending on the financial condition of the donor, you can opt for jewelry or jewelry. And the young fashionista will be happy both of them if the jewelry matches her general style, character, fashion trends. Classic chamber sets (earrings - necklaces) are not suitable for a teenage girl. It takes a lot of patience to see what kind of jewelry she likes.

To do this, consider the style of the girl herself - if she wears jeans and hoodies with hoods, flower beads are unlikely to be useful to her, if she likes thin delicate dresses, don’t give her such a fashionable bracelet with skulls this season. She simply has nothing and nowhere to put it on.

You can ask whose image and jewelry she likes the most. If she says that this is Rihanna, you need to review the maximum photos of the singer in order to catch the general meaning and theme of her jewelry, and then pick up something like that. But you can go the other way - Buy a gift certificate at a store or salon that displays a large selection of teen jewelry. And what to choose for him, the young beauty will decide for herself. In addition, the purchase process (even if pre-paid by parents) of teenagers is completely delighted.

The only things that should be avoided so far are gift purchases of very expensive jewelry. Adolescents are mobile, active and, alas, quite distracted. A girl can lose one earring, ring, bracelet, which will become a very tragic event for her.

clothing

It is better to buy such a gift for a teenage girl in her presence. Even the slightest remark about a t-shirt or skirt of your choice can make a thing completely unattractive for a young person, and she will not wear it. Even if you know exactly what the girl wants and her size, a thing can sit badly on her figure, and it is better to prevent such bitter girlish disappointments.

Clothing is not the best way to make a surprise. The young beauty will get much more pleasure from the gift if she simply invites her to go shopping and choose something beautiful as a gift for her.

Fashion gadgets

A gadget will be happy for a teenager if this gadget is of value to her, she needs. It is clear that the girl will be very happy with the latest model of a cool smartphone, but this model is not always worth as much as parents can afford. In addition, teens usually already have phones and smartphones.

If you want to please a teenage girl, pay attention to gadgets such as smart watches equipped with a navigator, Internet access, counting steps, calories consumed. The girl will be able to connect them to her smartphone and use the watch to send messages, as well as decide whether or not to accept the incoming call.

If a girl likes to listen to music (and all teenagers like to do this), you can give a portable music column. Creative girls may need a graphic tablet for drawing, which is equipped with an electronic pen. Teenager’s eternal misfortune - a discharged phone will help to eliminate an external battery (powerbank) once and for all. With it, the girl will always have a charged phone, regardless of whether there is a network source nearby or not.

Romance-minded ladies will like it a night lamp that will project a map of the starry sky onto the ceiling and walls, and scattered girls can be presented with an electronic key finder - a keychain that will respond to the clap or whistle of the hostess to indicate the place where she put the keys.

Books

Such a gift will come in handy if a teenage girl likes to read. In this case, it is worth asking which books she usually reads - regular or electronic. If the latter, then you can purchase an e-book, and to it a gift certificate from LitRes or another electronic library, where the girl can choose what she likes on her own.

You can do the same with paper books. A gift certificate to a large bookstore, for example, to Read-City, will help save you from the pain of choice and give the girl a real pleasure. Reading people, regardless of their age, like to just visit bookstores and watch books. And if you have a paid gift certificate on hand, the pleasure will be unlimited.

Don’t give books if the girl doesn’t read or does so solely under pressure as part of the school curriculum. The love of reading cannot be instilled by force.

Interesting ideas

If you want to impress a teenager, surprise him with a gift, then you should consider unconventional ideas, unusual ones. Here are a few options.

Concert or movie ticket

When buying a girl a movie or concert ticket, it is worth learning as much as possible about her preferences. This gift does not suffer inaccuracies. If it is a ticket to a film that she is not initially interested in, or a ticket to a concert of a singer that she does not listen to, does not like, then a gift of joy will not bring. Find out which artist she’d like to attend the concert of, what movie from the current repertoire of movie theaters she would like to see.

Important: do not give one ticket. Surely a girl in her teens has a boyfriend or girlfriend, with whom visiting a concert or movie theater will be doubly interesting and exciting. Present two tickets. And with whom to go to the cinema, let your young lady decide for herself.

Visit to the SPA salon

If your girl has long been interested in what they do in beauty salons and spas, it's time to introduce her to this. Present a paid gift certificate to the spa. Determine in advance what the teenager needs from the price list of the salon - spa treatments for hair, skin or complex procedures.

It is not worth giving such a certificate if the girl does not express a desire to go to such an institution. This will be met with perplexity.

Set for creativity

This is a great option for girls who like to craft something with their own hands. There are sets that will help to cook beautiful and fragrant soaps for themselves and their friends, sets that will help to collect jewelry, decorations for different occasions, there are sets for home-made production of gift candles, fridge magnets, stained glass. In general, the choice is unlimited. It all depends on the nature and scope of interests of a particular teenager.

PHOTOSESSION

No young fashionista will refuse such a gift. Good photos in the portfolio will help to decorate your pages on social networks, as well as remain for a long memory in the family album. As part of the photo shoot, the girl will be able to reveal herself, her character, and even for parents her image can be very unexpected.

For a gift you will need to choose a good photographer with professional equipment (visiting or with your own photo studio), specify the day and time of the session and please the young princess with the opportunity to be a model.

Certificate for sports classes

If the girl goes in for sports, dancing, or wants to go to the gym, give her a paid certificate to the sports club. You can pick up a pair of sneakers or a tracksuit to him.

Do it yourself

It’s quite difficult to hit a teenager with a handmade gift. But if it is a cool backpack or handbag, wallet or jewelry, the girl will definitely appreciate your efforts. You can make a beautiful box for its jewelry, sew an original cosmetic bag, make a hairpin or bezel.

Bad options

When choosing a gift for a teenage girl, you should avoid shopping:

  • dolls, bunnies and bears;
  • expensive collectible toys;
  • used items;
  • live puppies, kittens, hamsters, fish, if this was not requested in advance and the issue was not agreed;
  • dishes and cutlery;
  • school supplies and stationery;
  • boring things.
