The Christmas season is fast approaching. There
is still time to find the perfect gift for even the hardest people to shop for.
One of the hardest types of people to shop for is teenage girls.
Finding a gift that will make a teenager happy is
difficult. It can seem like all they want is expensive new electronics,clothes,
or even a custom made blanket. That is true on some
level, but even teenage girls want things that mean something.
There are lots of gifts made especially for
teenage girls. You just need to know where to look to find them. Here are a few
possible gift ideas for your teenaged daughter this Christmas.
1. Something to Save the Planet
You may or may not be surprised by how much the
younger generation is into saving the planet. It has become fashionable
and important to be conscious of your footprint on this earth. The hippy style
is back and re-vamped.
However, earth-conscious products can be a little
outside of the teenage budget which makes them the perfect gift. A reusable
water bottle is in style right now and also very useful. Metal straws to cut
down on single-use plastics are also very popular.
Getting your daughter something cute that also
helps the planet is a good little gift that will make her happy. Even a towel
that is made of reused materials can be enough. It is popular to recycle and
help the earth, your daughter will love gifts that help her do that.
2. Something to Show You Listen
There is something that your daughter has told
you she loves. It might be a movie, a book series, or a band but there is
certainly something that she cares about a lot. Getting her something to show
that you care about what she cares about is a big deal.
Teenage girls can be made to feel like the things
they care about are silly. Showing them that you listen to what they care about
and want to support their interests is a great gift that shows you love them.
It doesn’t even have to be a huge gift to show how much you care.
Get her a bracelet with a quote from her favorite
book or movie. Buy her a t-shirt from her favorite musician or even tickets to
go see them. Show her that you listen when she says she cares about something
and that you want to support her in those interests.
3. Something Beautiful
If your daughter is the type of person who enjoys
shiny things and will wear jewelry then get her some. Teenagers cannot really
afford their own good quality jewelry and will probably appreciate any that you
buy them. Especially if it is to their taste.
Delicate gold rings and thing necklaces are very
much in style right now. If your daughter is more likely to enjoy a pair of
diamond earrings or a statement piece then get her that. Girls do not all love
to wear jewelry but most people enjoy beautiful things and jewelry almost
always applies.
Finding cute, simple pieces that she can wear
every day is a great gift. It gives her something nice that she could not have
gotten herself and lets you see her use the gift you bought. It might seem
cliche but girls really do love shiny, beautiful things.
4. Something Comforting
Teenage girls are stressed. They have a lot of
emotions and a lot of school work that is making their lives seem very
complicated. Getting them something calming is a good way to make sure they
feel a little better all year round.
A weighted blanket is a great gift for your
teenage daughter. They help calm down people with anxiety but they work to calm
down anyone. They are also just super nice to snuggle under.
Another gift that might be calming is a bubble
wrap phone case. They have a nice, calming effect when you play with them and
they also give her something to mess with when she gets bored. There are a lot
of products made specifically to be comforting and a teenage
girl needs all the comfort she can get.
5. Something Electronic
When in doubt buy them a new phone. It might seem
like a gift that you didn’t put much thought into, but it will probably be
their favorite gift of the year. It is also something they will use every day
so it might be worth the investment.
If a new phone is outside of your budget there
are plenty of other electronic gifts that don’t cost quite so much. Bluetooth
headphones are very stylish and functional right now. A cute polaroid camera
might be exactly the thing they want to capture all of their favorite moments.
Technology is always appreciated by teenagers.
Having the newest phone, coolest headphones, or most stylish gadgets makes them
feel happier and makes you look like a great parent. Even if electronics don’t
seem like the most thoughtful present, they probably are the ones your daughter
wants the most.
To Conclude
Teenage girls really only feel impossible to shop
for. If you think hard enough about the things your daughter cares about, you
will come up with a lot of things she would enjoy. You might be surprised by
how much teenage girls are capable of recognizing that it’s the thought that
counts.
Getting them something that they could not afford
by themselves. Or something that is reminiscent of their favorite book or movie
can show a lot about how much you care about them. Even just getting them
something to soothe them when they are having a hard day can be enough to make
your daughter happy.
Your daughter will be pleased with any gift that
you put thought into. There is really no way to go wrong if you get your
daughter something that you know she cares about and will make her smile.
Remember, if all else fails, there is always a new phone.
