ALT-1 Best Presents for a Girls Sweet 16
When you are a young lady about to turn “sweet 16”, it is all you can think about. It is undoubtedly one of the most significant birthdays to celebrate, if not the single most important event of a young girl’s life. So making sure you find the just right (aah ha) thing to give this birthday girl, is even more imperative.
Having a gathering of all her close friends over and celebrating in a big way is probably what most girls would want to do the most. It is a day about the birthday girl being the center of attention and marking the special day with memories of all the fun she had and all the people that were around to share in it.
More often than not, a sweet sixteen party is more on the formal side, to help add to the festivities and all little girl’s long awaited wishes for this day. This is the day that she is the “Belle” of the ball, but with a modern day twist. All her friends will have just much fun dressing up for their friends “coming out party”, besides dresses, make-up and parties are what girls do best.
If you want to keep with the traditional style events and gift ideas, you could find that special piece of jewelry that holds a close family meaning or something that shows off her style. Regardless of what you choose in the way of jewelry, most all girls will appreciate it and cherish it for years to come.
Or maybe you want to do all new things and start to create some new traditions for how you celebrate a sweet sixteen’s birthday and what types of gifts are given. You could purchase her a day full of girlie spa treatments, like having her hair done, or a manicure and pedicure. Then follow it up by having a nice dinner at her favorite place to eat and invite some of her friends to come along.
On a little more extreme side of gifts, you could go with giving her a first car. Some parents may be in the position to do just this and it is a wonderful thing to help her get her own transportation. No matter how many other vehicles she gets in her life, this will always be the best memory, because it is the “first” one. A nice camera or camcorder are some more good ideas for a great gifts that she can use for recording all the day’s events and funny moments that popped up. Then when she looks back at them all, it will be the gift that keeps on giving, by making her smile.
If you are a good friend and really want to give the birthday girl a nice gift, you could make her a special charm bracelet, or a friendship bracelet. Maybe you have a couple other friends that would like to go in together and buy something such as tickets to her favorite show or event that is currently playing or in town. (Concert, movie, plays, musicals, etc.)
