Sweet 16
It’s the birthday every girl looks forward to — her sweet 16th. A special year deserves a special Sweet 16 Gift, so put some extra thought into your present. To inspire you, we’ve collected some sweet 16 birthday gift ideas that ought to charm any teenage girl. And many of these gifts cover a wide price range, suitable for any budget.
Here are the Top 10 Sweet 16 Gifts.
1. Jewelry is often a good bet for a teen girl. To make your gift a little more personal for your own special girl, buy her a necklace, earrings, or bracelet with her birthstone. She’ll feel like it was made just for her!
2.Kids usually get their driver’s license at the age of 16. Many parents agree a cell phone for emergencies is a must for driving teens. Supplying your teen with a cell phone will keep you more connected while she’s away from home.
3.Laptop–. Technology is an integral part of school as well as home life, which makes a laptop perfect for your sweet sixteener. If she takes good care of her laptop, it will serve her well when she goes to college, too.
4.Store Gift Card-What teen girl doesn’t like new clothes? If you’re wary of picking them out yourself, take your special teen on a shopping spree at the mall, or buy her a gift card for her favorite store. The shopping experience itself will add to the value of the gift, and may also give you a chance to spend some time together.
5. Get your sweet sixteener a cool camera, so she can take some sweet snaps. You’ll feel like a winner yourself, because in years to come you’ll have a photo record of her coming-of-age years.
6.Magazine Subscriptions -Buy her a year’s worth of browsing with a magazine subscription. Starting a magazine article can prove much less daunting than starting a book, if your girl’s a reluctant reader. Try to match the type of magazine to her interests – whether it’s a hobby, fashions, or even reading. You’d be surprised how many specialty magazines are out there.
7. Eco Friendly Journals-Encourage your sweet sixteener to write by buying her a trendy journal. This featured journal is made of recycled materials, is acid-free, and is all-around Earth-friendly. Your teen can feel good about recording her thoughts and emotions on these pages.
8.Concert Tickets-If you know what kind of music your girl likes, check out local concert listings and buy her a couple of tickets. You can go with her yourself, or drive her and a friend. Just make sure they know how to enjoy themselves responsibly if you’re not with them.
9. Girls love to be pampered. For your favorite girl’s sweet 16th, pick up a great spa basket packed with body-loving lotions, washes, and masks. Or get her gift certificate for a spa day.
10.Last, but most definitely not least, is what many teens consider the be-all and end-all of sweet 16 presents: their own automobile. Of course, not everyone can afford such an expensive present (and the insurance that goes along with it), but not to worry. Another option is the gift of one-on-one driving lessons. It’s not as showy as a car, but will certainly be appreciated.
