There may be no one more challenging in the world to buy for than a teenage girl. Her tastes tend to change faster than the weather, making gift buying extremely challenging. However there are a few gifts that almost every teenage girl will love, so having a list on the go can make special occasions much easier to handle. Keep reading if you’d like to learn more about some gift ideas for your teenage daughter that she’s sure to love.
1. Jewelry
Like moths to a flame, most teenage girls love jewelry. While her style will be as individual as she is, there are a few timeless pieces that you can purchase that almost every teenager will love. My favourite of those is a silver locket, because you can also put a special photo inside which makes it a more sentimental gift idea without any room to embarrass your teen. Other classics include gold hoop earrings, and pretty silver chains such as box chains which are very decorative.
2. Make Up
Most teenage girls love experimenting with makeup and while many parents may find themselves resisting it a little, I think it’s great to be supportive. You can buy some specific make up for them, or a giftcard for a makeup store like Sephora so they can choose their own things. While this might not be to your taste, it’s much better that they’re purchasing higher quality makeup products that are not as likely to block their skin, cause breakouts or allergic reactions.
3. Clothes
There are ew things in the world that teen girls love more than shopping! So why not entertain this and get them a gift that serves a few purposes. As a parent, it’s your job to provide for your kids and that includes clothing. However, often teen girls have a list of clothing wants longer than what any parent would consider reasonable, so by giving them shopping vouchers you’re helping them get those things while also getting them a ‘gift’ rather than just having it in your normal spending expenses.
4. A Staycation
While your teen is growing up, it means that you probably only have a few years before they move out of home. You should do some fun things to make the most of this time. If an overseas trip isn’t on the cards, why not do something fun like a Staycation or a quick road trip somewhere. It can be a great way to play tourists, even in your home city, and can be such a fun bonding experience. Sometimes it can be a little challenging to find quality time together, especially if your teen is unmotivated to do things with you, but by going somewhere else or staying somewhere else you can change the vibe a lot. You might be surprised by how much they come alive in a different place!
Getting the right gift for your teenage daughter can feel challenging, especially as she’s constantly changing her wants and likes. I hope these tips inspire you to find something she’s sure to love.
