What to give a teenage girl?

Choosing a gift for a teenage girl is not an easy task. This is no longer a child, but not yet an adult. She will hardly be happy with a soft toy, but she is not yet able to appreciate "adult" gifts, for example, a telescope or a microscope. The task is also complicated by the fact that usually at this age girls themselves do not really know what they want. And then you have to use your maximum imagination to please the young lady.

The first thing that comes to mind for the donor is traditional gifts. These include sweets, gadgets, clothing, or shoes. It is also 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 advice from psychologists. Developmental psychologists argue that for girls at the age of 12-15, their own appearance becomes very important, and they usually spare no effort or time to decorate it.

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

It's no secret that many girls at the age of 13-15 start using cosmetics. Naturally, the young lady does not need bright lipsticks and acid-colored nail polishes yet, and therefore try to give a set that she can easily use in her daily life. This includes hygienic lipstick with a delicate fruity scent (it helps a lot not to chalk your lips during physical education classes on the street, on the way to school, while walking), softening hand cream, and eau de toilette with an unobtrusive scent of freshness or fruit.

You can add to the gift set of cosmetics nail polish in a flesh or delicate pastel shade, a manicure set so that the girl can maintain her marigolds in a well-groomed condition, several beautiful hair clips if she has long hair.

You can give a set of care cosmetics, teenagers are always happy with it, because the problem of acne during puberty is acute. pay attention to lines created especially for teenagers: Clinique, Neutrogena, La Roche-Posay, Vichy.

Depending on the financial condition of the donor, you can opt for jewelry or bijouterie. Both the young woman of fashion will be delighted if the jewelry matches her general style, character, and fashion trends. Chamber classic 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 hooded sweatshirts, flower beads will hardly come in handy, but if she loves thin delicate dresses, you should not 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 of the singer's photos in order to grasp the general meaning and theme of her jewelry, and then choose something similar. But you can go the other way - Buy a gift certificate from a store or salon that has a large selection of teen jewelry. And what to choose for him, the young beauty will decide for herself. In addition, the process of buying (even if prepaid by parents) teenagers is absolutely delightful.

It is better to buy such a gift for a teenage girl in her presence. Even the slightest remark to your chosen T-shirt or skirt can make the 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, the thing may not sit well on her figure, and it is better to prevent such bitter girlish disappointments.

Clothes are not the best way to surprise. A young beauty will get much more pleasure from a gift if you just invite her to go shopping and choose something beautiful for her as a gift.

A teenager will be glad to a gadget if this gadget is of value to her, she needs it. It is clear that the girl will be very happy with the latest model of a cool smartphone, but this model does not always cost as much as her parents can afford.

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 an incoming call.

If a girl loves to listen to music (and all teenagers love to do this), you can donate a portable music speaker. Creative girls can use a graphic tablet for drawing, which is equipped with an electronic pen. The eternal trouble of a teenager - 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 persons will like it a night light that will project a map of the starry sky onto the ceiling and walls, and absent-minded girls can be presented with an electronic key finder - a keychain that will respond to the claps or whistle of the hostess to indicate the place where she put the keys.

Such a gift will come in handy if a teenage girl likes to read. At the same time, it is worth asking which books she usually reads - ordinary or electronic. If the latter, then you can buy an e-book, and to it a gift certificate "Liters" or another electronic library, where a girl can choose on her own what she likes.

You can do the same with paper books. A gift certificate to a large bookstore, for example, to "Chitai-Gorod", will help relieve you of the agony of choice and give the girl real pleasure. Reading people, regardless of their age, just like to be in bookstores, to look at books. And if you have a paid gift certificate in your hands, the pleasure will be endless.
