What to give an 11-year-old girl?
Birthday is always a holiday, it is an expectation of a miracle, a surprise. Adults are glad for an extra reason to get together with a company, and new toys and entertainment await children. What if the gift needs to be presented not to a child, but also not to an adult? For example, a girl is 11 years old.
What should be considered?
The date of 11 years is the beginning of the period of the formation of an adult. You can't give a child's gift anymore. And I want to surprise the still a little child and give a really necessary and interesting present. The gift should please here and now, be interesting and memorable. And this is not always an expensive thing. What exactly should not be given to an eleven-year-old girl?
- Gold items. It is unlikely that a girl at this age will appreciate such an expensive gift and will cherish it. Gold is given to older people.
- clothing... If you decide to update your daughter's wardrobe and donate clothes, killing two birds with one stone, then this is not the best idea. The girl will not be very happy with such a gift, because she wants something unusual, and not the purchase of everyday things. The feeling of surprise and joy from receiving a presentation is lost. After all, a birthday is a magical holiday, isn't it? This also includes clothing for growth.
- Toys... At this age, as a rule, girls already have other hobbies. Some kind of toy can become a gift if it is collectible or the girl collects such.
- Sweets and cakes... Even if these are exclusive sweets, the girl will not appreciate them as much as adults.
Daughter gift options
When choosing a gift for your daughter's 11th birthday, you should take into account her interests, hobbies and think over so that the gift is useful to the teenager. Gifts can be roughly divided into several categories.
Several ideas can be used in each category.
Useful
It can be a book, an encyclopedia, or other developing literature. When buying a book, consider your daughter's interests or old dreams. A series of books, for example, about Harry Potter, can be an excellent gift. Or a series of encyclopedias. Maybe my daughter is fond of history, sewing, drawing or beads. When buying a book on needlework or teaching drawing, for example, you can buy a set of beads, threads or an album and good pencils and paints. If the girl is fond of drawing, you can donate paints for painting on clothes. Even an adult will be delighted with such a gift. Kits for creating various decorations will also come in handy.
The "Young Chemist" set will also be an excellent gift, thanks to which you can experiment with chemicals of different consistencies, see different chemical reactions and feel like a chemist in a very important laboratory. The set "Young Physicist" will allow you to see in reality how the laws of physics work, thanks to which many things in life will become more understandable and, perhaps, physics will become the favorite subject of the birthday girl.
The "Making chocolate" set will appeal to a girl who loves helping her mother in the kitchen. Here she can fully feel like a chef of a restaurant. The Soap Making Set is loved by many. This process happens like magic. By adding various petals, scrubs, salts, aromatic oils, the girl herself creates what she had no idea about before such a gift... The set usually includes components for the aromatic sizzling bombs so popular now.
Such gifts will broaden the horizons of the child and encourage them to study new things, to learn about the world. Perhaps the daughter will find herself a worthy hobby in return, for example, playing games on the phone.
The main thing when buying is to pay attention to the age category, which is indicated on the box.
For older children, sets are offered more complex and interesting. Many of the birthday girls would certainly not have given up on the still popular 3D pens and printers. They develop imagination, teach accuracy, perseverance.
Also, intellectual games - "Monopoly", "Erudite" can be attributed to this category of gifts. These games teach how to count money, analyze economic processes, calculate risks. The game will captivate the daughter and her friends for a long time and will help them develop and broaden their horizons. If your eleven-year-old daughter is active and mobile, you can give her the desired sporting gift. Which one depends on the wishes of the child and the capabilities of the parents. It can be a bicycle, hoverboard, skate, roller skates or trendy sneakers.
Pleasant
This category includes a phone or tablet that my daughter has long wanted. It is advisable to find out exactly what she wants, what characteristics are important for her when choosing a phone before buying such a gift. Perhaps the girl feels in herself a desire to take pictures. In this case, you can buy her a good camera to implement her ideas.
These gifts include a set of cosmetics for personal care. It can be perfume, cream, hair care product, if a girl is interested in this topic and wants to imitate adults. But the sets of cosmetics for small children will only annoy the birthday girl, since she already feels like an adult, and not a small child.
You can buy a pretty bag or wallet. Girls at this age want to be like grown girls and copy their dressing style, including accessories.
Unexpected
These are surprise gifts, impressions gifts that will delight an eleven-year-old birthday girl, if, of course, you know her tastes and hobbies well. Agree, organizing an active and loud birthday for your daughter, who loves to spend time in silence and read books, is not a good idea. Unexpected gifts include a trip to the water park with the whole family or girlfriends for the whole day. Excellent emotions, unusual celebration will surely be remembered by your daughter and her friends for a lifetime.
You can also organize a celebration in the quest room and only then go to a cafe. You can organize an outdoor quest yourself. Scenarios for such quests and ideas are found in large numbers on the Internet.
The daughter will definitely appreciate your efforts to create a personalized holiday especially for her. The effect of surprise will be important here.
The most valuable thing here is positive emotions, so you need to create the impression that the birthday will pass as usual, and nothing new is planned. A great idea would be to ride horses with the whole family, if this was a long-standing desire of the teenager. What if you arrange a real professional photo session for your daughter? This surprise will be remembered for a long time and the young girl will definitely like it.
Perhaps the most unexpected and overwhelming gift will be a pet. This can be a puppy, kitten, chinchilla, pet rat, ferret, fish, hamsters or birds. However, such a gift can be given only if the teenager has been asking for it for a long time and agrees to take responsibility for his pet and take care of him. Naturally, the purchase of such a gift must be coordinated with all family members, because an animal is not a thing or a toy.
You will definitely remember such a cool gift as tickets to a concert of your favorite artist or group. It will be more fun if you get some more for your friends. After all, then the birthday girl will have someone to share her emotions with. If you live in a small city, then a mini-trip to the nearby neighboring large city with attractions will be very impressive. A change of scenery, travel, expectations, a lot of impressions are the key to creating a good mood. On a walk, you can visit both the sights and the zoo, preferably a contact one, a dolphinarium or a planetarium. The main thing when choosing such a surprise gift is to get to the point, to guess the daughter's wish.
Money cannot be classified under any category. But you can donate them. Such a gift will be appropriate only if the child collects money to buy some large gift. When donating money, it is better to put it in a beautiful envelope, be sure to sign it. And for such a gift, you can give beautiful and favorite sweets or any other little thing, so that the daughter feels that the gift is from the heart. Children are very sensitive to indifference towards them. Just giving money and not thinking about the gift is far from the best option. The girl wants to feel the closeness of her parents, their participation and attention to their interests.
What can you give your friend?
We decided on the parents. If they are in close contact with their daughter and know how she lives, what she dreams of, they will certainly be able to pick up a gift for the soul and according to their wallet. What gift can you give an 11-year-old friend? I would like the present to be original, unusual. When you are going to a friend's birthday, it means that you have common interests with her. Therefore, you can pick up a gift knowing your friend's hobbies. The best option is a surprise gift. This could be some kind of handicraft workshop that the girl has long dreamed of attending.
You can give a certificate for the purchase of cosmetics, for example. Let the birthday girl, at her discretion, choose a perfume, cream or other accessories for girls. At this age, interest in cosmetics is shown, you can give the birthday girl a box with cosmetics. And the girlfriends will try to make up together, having fun and interesting time. You can buy a friend one of the above gifts and make a greeting card, a candle, or felted a small toy or a brooch with your own hands. Today, there are so many accessories sold in the craft departments that this gift will be different from the standard ones.
How to congratulate your sister?
My sister is a very close and dear person. Childhood passed with her, growing up is taking place.You can give your sister a more sincere present. Depending on the age of the donor, the sister can give the same gifts as the parents. Sisters and brothers communicate with the girl more closely and may know about her desires even more than sometimes the parents. Perhaps this will be a gift for spending time together, because attention and participation are expensive.
When choosing a gift, the main thing is to take into account the interests and desires of the birthday girl. Make a list of possible gifts, subtly tell stories about the gifts, and watch your sister's reactions. For example, you can say that someone of your friends was given a surprise, and then you should see how the birthday girl will react to this. Still, all people are different, and there are those who love certainty.
Carefully observe the girl, her reactions and behavior, and you can understand what is closer to your sister, and then you certainly will not be mistaken with a gift.
