ALT-1 Gift Ideas for Girls Aged 17 20
Finally a woman, but still someone's baby girl, young ladies 17-20 can be a challenge to shop for. Many girls at this age are stepping into the real world of adulthood and find this transitional time a little shaky.
But this is a beautiful age to shop for, as the perfect gift could help your special lady find her path during this pivotal time in her life. Below I have included several gift ideas to help you find something that your 17-20 year old girl will love.
CLOTHES-MAKEUP-ACCESSORIES
Most girls at this age are thrilled to get new clothes, shop for new clothes or just try new clothes on. This also includes the latest accessories and make up trends. Providing a gift card, a day shopping or even the latest handbag could be the perfect gift for your girl. Young ladies heading off to college or entering the workforce may also appreciate the thoughtful shopping time to help build a more professional wardrobe.
SPA DAY
This could end up not only being a gift for your special girl, but also you. A day at the spa could be a great mother-daughter bonding experience. But don't limit yourself to just a mother-daughter experience. This makes for a great gift for any young lady in your life whether you choose to accompany her or not. A gift like a day at the spa shows that you respect her as a woman and care about her well being.
COLLEGE SAVINGS
A wise investment as a gift to your young lady is to invest in her future. College tuition increases yearly, and sometimes girls this age have the stress of finding a way to pay for college. So consider making a contribution to their college education fund or even help them get one set up. Your interest in their goals and future is a very thoughtful gift in itself.
GIFT CARDS
Many girls at this age have many interests. So narrowing down the one that will produce the best gift can be difficult. Gift cards are always a safe bet when you aren't sure what to give. Take notes to find out some of your girl's favorite stores. Also consider other gift card options like grocery stores or gas cards if your young lady is away at college or already living on her own. Places like the movies and nail salon are also options.
QUALITY TIME
Sometimes the best gift we can give is of ourselves. So maybe spending some time with your special young lady is the perfect gift. You could make her favorite dinner, visit a museum or even picnic at the park together. Also, if in your budget consider planning a weekend getaway to a place you know she will love. This provides for a great opportunity to adjust to your girl reaching adulthood.
ODDS AND ENDS
These are gifts that are apparent to a specific situation. If you notice that your girl is driving back and forth to college on bald tires, you might offer to purchase new tires as a gift. Sometimes young adults at this age have a hard time asking for what they may need, so keep your ears and eyes out for thoughtful ways you can help and make a gift out of it. Gifts like this are just as special because it shows you cared enough to pay attention. So next time your young lady mentions that she would like to take a yoga class but doesn't have the money-DING DING! You have a gift idea!
Shopping for young ladies 17-20 can be a lot of fun. Girls this age are blossoming into young women ready to take on the world. They are filled with ambition and motivation, but they still have those special qualities about them from childhood. So take some time and consider the details of your special girl. I am sure you will find a gift that she will appreciate and treasure for years. Happy Shopping!
