Celebrate with the perfect Sweet 16 gift.
Celebrating a 16th birthday is a special time for the average young woman. Most mark the occasion with a formal party, complete with a lengthy guest list, festive decorations and a fancy dress. Just as a Sweet 16 celebration is meant to be unique and memorable, so should be the gifts.
Personalized Gifts
Personalizing a Sweet 16 gift is a nice way to make it stand out in the eyes of the recipient. She will appreciate the fact that you went to the extra trouble of adding her name or initials to your gift. Almost anything, from stationery to luggage sets to jewelry, can be monogrammed or otherwise personalized. Check stores and malls for engraving and other personalizing services, and remember to leave extra time for this work to be completed.
Jewelry
Most teenage girls enjoy jewelry, and such a gift also can serve as a keepsake of her special birthday. Consider jewelry that includes a birthstone or another favorite gemstone or color. Other options include charms, pendants or other pieces of jewelry that highlight the birthday girl's name or initials.
Pamper Her
If your teenager enjoys pampering herself, fill a basket or other decorative container with makeup and a variety of lotions and shower items. A gift card to a local spa that offers manicures, pedicures and other beauty services also is sure to please.
Electronic Gadgets
Teenage girls love to be in contact with friends, and the latest electronic gadgets can help them keep in touch quickly and stylishly. Consider the newest cell phones and laptop computers. A sleek, digital camera can help chronicle her Sweet 16 birthday and more.
Clothing and Shopping
The well-dressed teen is always on the lookout for additions to her wardrobe. A gift card to a favorite store is perfect. Taking a teen out for a day of shopping is another fun option.
Entertainment
Many teens strongly identify with their favorite musicians and other performers. Check to see if a nearby venue is hosting such a group or performer. A gift of tickets to the event will be well-received.
Automotive Gifts
You might not wish to purchase a car as a Sweet 16 gift, but there are related items to consider. A monetary gift toward the purchase of a car is an option. The purchase of driving lessons is another timely and useful gift.
