ALT-3 Gift Ideas for Girls Aged 13 16
It can be difficult to choose a gift for a young teenage girl who is 13-16 years old. You want to get her something that is not too immature, but she might not quite be ready for adult items yet. She may enjoy one of the following ideas.
Camera
Many young teenagers would love to be able to take pictures of their friends. This can be a great gift because the pictures can last for her entire life and give her a way to remember her childhood. There are many different digital cameras available, many of them for under $100. You can get an automatic one, which is easy to use. If taking pictures is a passion you can get her a nicer SLR camera. Include a credit for prints at a lab and a camera bag as accessories.
Computer
If the family is sharing a computer, then your 13-16 year old girl may love this as a gift. She is likely to need it quite a bit for school, so it can be an educational gift as well. You can choose from a laptop or a desktop.
Internet on the go
She may want to surf the Internet on the go, and there are various devices that can allow her to do this. For instance, the IPad is extremely popular right now as are other tablets. She may like a netbook. Consider getting her a subscription to an Internet service, or she can just go to places that offer Wi-Fi.
Smartphone
She may already have a fun, but a great gift could be to upgrade to a smartphone. The IPhone and Samsung EVO are popular versions of this. Remember that the monthly plans for these can be expensive, so you will want to be able to afford this as well.
Gift of experience
Your teenage girl may have more than enough items to fill her room. Instead you could give her an intangible gift that she will remember. For instance, you can send her away to week at Space Camp if she likes astronomy and science. She may love lessons in something such as dance or gymnastics. She may love a membership somewhere such as to a zoo if she is interested in animals. Think about what she likes in particular.
Clothing
Of course, fashion is a big thing for many 13-16 year old girls. Take her on a shopping spree and let her pick out a new favorite outfit. You can give her a gift card to her favorite store. If you are sure of her style and size, then you can pick out something on your own.
Makeover
A lot of girls of this age would love an updated look. In addition to clothing you could take her for a great haircut. You could let her get a manicure and other spa services. This is something special that you can do with her.
Gift from the heart
Even if you do not have a lot of money, you can get her something very special that is from the heart. Write a journal detailing everything that she means to you and how much you love her. Make a scrapbook of pictures from her youth. Make a video where you talk about your love. These can all produce keepsakes that she will treasure forever.
There are many great gifts to get for a 13-16 year old girl. One of the above ideas may be perfect for you.
