Great gift ideas for teenage girls

Most teenage girls are easy to buy for. If they don’t let you know what they want, which they are very vocal with then there is normally a couple of ideas you can use that are full proof. They want to start feeling like they are an adult, so you have to think along those lines when you are shopping for them. Here are a couple of ideas that you can use when you have run out of ideas to get her something.

Collectibles. Almost all teenagers like to collect things, whether it is horses, fairies, animals, frogs, anything. They love to collect things and they place them all over their room. You can either find out what they collect and buy them something for their collection or even expand their collection into something new. If they collect statues then you can get them a blanket or picture with what they collect on it. I would steer away from clothing as teenage girls are very picky about what they will wear.

Jewelry. I do not know a teenage girl that doesn’t like jewelry. It doesn’t matter if it is gaudy or elegant, she will love it. Something to keep in mind though is if she doesn’t have her ears pierced, don’t buy her earrings. But they love bracelets, necklaces, rings and if you get them in sets, they like that too.

Nail Polish. If you don’t know if the parents allow her to wear makeup then don’t go into the facial makeup, but most parents allow nail polish. Teenage girls really like the outlandish colors, from blue and green to colors that sparkle. You can also get her a kit that she can use to do her own manicures, with the brushes, scissors and polishes.

Day Spa. If you want to get a little more extravagant, plan a trip to a day spa for her, let her get her hair done, maybe a facial, manicure and pedicure. She will love it and remember the day for a long time. We used to plan a day at the spa every couple of months to have mother daughter time. It is well worth the extra money to have that bonding time.

These are just a couple of ideas that you can use. Teenage girls are fairly easy to buy for, they like things that sparkle and like to collect things. One of the best gifts for my daughter is a gift certificate to the book store. She loves to read and has many favorite authors. If you find out a little bit about the teenager before you go shopping, it will make it much easier.
