It’s not always easy to figure out what someone in your family would like for their birthday or another important event. Gifting is always better when some thought is put into it, but what if you have no idea where to even begin?
Well, you could always give a gift card, or chocolates, or flowers, but it’s nice to remain a little more specific if you can. This is especially true if you hope to make more of a connection with your relative, as special events are always an opportunity to bond.
In this post, we’ll discuss what to purchase for a teenage girl in your family, including considerations for unique personality types. After all, not all teenage girls are alike, and they may not be “into” the same kind of things as people their age.
For this reason, we’ll discuss three gift ideas for a teenage girl in your family, and see what adjustments you could make from that point on:
Trendy Fashion Accessories
It’s often nice to give someone a gift they might have purchased themselves but of higher quality and perhaps longer-lasting than they could afford. Accessories are always a helpful option for teen girls because while not all are fashion-conscious, almost everyone likes having nice clothes they can rely on. You might offer accessories like jewelry, scarves, or hats depending on the time of year, or invest in their sense of creativity with nail supplies. Just make sure you run the gift past their parent for sizing and suitability.
Headphones & Speakers
If there’s one thing that seems to be true across all teenagers, it’s that music is super important to them. Music can help define their personality, their interest, their social groups, and even their fashion. During a time when teenagers are looking for a sense of identity, having good music is always going to be helpful. As such, providing a good speaker they can enjoy in their room (like a sound bar), or a nice pair of headphones, preferably wireless, can be ideal. You might even have them engraved where possible to celebrate the event.
Planners & Journals
Not all teenage girls love organizing, but those that do, really do. Providing them with a beautiful planner or journal they can use to manage their affairs, write down their thoughts, and have a place to plan or vent can be very helpful, not only for their day-to-day wellbeing but their longer yearly plans and desire to reflect. You can even pair this gift with some nice stationery, perhaps even a fountain pen or a high-quality pen they can replace the ink cartridges for. If they’re more art-focused, a sketchbook and some pencils can be a wonderful approach to take as well. It’s all about providing them with that sense of engaging their thoughts and expressiveness, which is very important during those teenage years.
With this advice, you’re sure to find the best gift ideas for the teenage relative in your family, and show how much you appreciate them in kind.
XOXO,
