It’s not long until your favorite teenager turns thirteen! Isn’t the “not yet lady but not girl” stage confusing? Well, don’t get your wires crossed. It can be difficult to find the perfect gift for a girl who has one foot in childhood and the other in teenagedom. It is still possible – helpful hints.
What makes her tick? Is she a sports enthusiast, a reader, or if she loves to dance, she’s probably a good one. You may find that she is an artist or enjoys singing louder than the foghorns. Start by looking at her interests. It’s not worth your time to spend hours looking for a product that she says she wants but never uses. Nobody needs a new dust collector!
Will she remain buried till the morning light? A young adult book with a message is always a good choice. Discover those worlds of imagination she can’t resist. Create a collection of the stories she loves and is willing to read.
Perhaps reading isn’t her forte. How about becoming a gadget-savvy expert? She is always thinking about the latest gadgets. She may be a fan of headphones, smartwatches and phone accessories. Look for gear that’s both fun and functional.
Fashionista alert! Fashionista alert! Maybe it’s in her shoes, or perhaps she shows her feelings on her sleeves. Accessories that let her be her true self are the best accessories for her wedding.
Crafts are a passion for some people. If she’s an artistic craftster, you can’t keep her from creating. Buy her pencils, sketchpads, and art sets that help her create a world inside her mind. Gifts can be a way to keep on giving by nurturing a budding Picasso, or bending the light inwards.
Poppin Dance Floors are also available for you to show off your best moves. She loves to dance, and anything she can do to help express that passion will be greatly appreciated. You could give her a dance bag, a quality shoe or even a subscription to a dance class. You can let her express herself with dance shoes. She will twirl and spin to the music.
The rhythmic music lover was not forgotten. She can play the guitar loudly or softly. If she is more interested in the notes and chords of music, you can give her headphones that have quality sound. She may also enjoy private guitar lessons. Introduce her to new music, like smooth jazz or classical rock.
Do not overlook shared memories. They will be cherished for a life time. You can give her tickets to a concert she loves, a day trip filled with adventure, or even splurge on SPA and movies to finish the day.
Remember the golden rule. The personal touches make all the difference. Create a playlist or scrapbook, or even engrave the initials of your loved one. This is not just a gift, but a chance to show her your personality and share some memories.
It isn’t important to choose the perfect gift. It is important to create memories. The trinket will fade, but the memory of the moment you shared with your loved ones is forever. Make a huge fuss and shout as loudly as you can to cheer on your daughter’s entry into this teenage heaven!
