The 13th birthday Yvette’s Treasures is a major milestone. It’s the golden age when girls begin to transition into teen years. It can be difficult to find the right gift, but you shouldn’t stress about it. Here are some ideas that would make a 13 year old pop colorful balloons.
You can never go far wrong with something that ignites a girls’ creative side. Consider art kits. Have you seen the huge, all-in one art sets? The sets come with a wide range of tools and colors. Your little Picasso will get right to work on their next masterpiece.
For the tech-savvy ladies. Gadgets always work. Tablets, phones, and even simple phone cases can work wonders. Allow her to play, learn, and connect with her friends. Add some “funk” to her device with a pop socket.
Books! You’re right. But not just any book, no. The Hunger Games or “Wonder” are both dystopian books. These series are sure to have her turning pages faster than you could make popcorn. I’m sure she would prefer a gripping book over some screen time.
Do you want to try some old-school puzzles, too? These aren’t your grandmother’s crosswords. There are 3D games, escape rooms, and mystery puzzles that she can do alone or with her friends. It’s a great way to stretch your brain on lazy Sundays.
You can be safe when you choose beauty sets. Spa-like products like bath bombs, nail polish sets, and face masks can be enjoyed at home. Throw in a fluffy bathrobe, and you’ve got a gift that says R-E.L.A.X.
Fashion is important. It’s almost like a rite. Give her a store gift card instead of choosing her own clothes. You can also give fashion-forward girls chic accessories, such as headbands, scarves or – the teen girl’s Holy Grail–scrunchies.
Exploring music is another option. A portable Bluetooth can transform any room into a personal concert hall. A playlist of her favorite songs is a great way to make the room feel like a concert hall. You could also consider subscribing to a music streaming subscription service. Unlimited tunes is better than a candy store.
How about a Polaroid Camera if she is a social butterfly? Instant pictures to capture the moments she will cherish with her friends. These photos are retro and fun. They also make great wall decor.
Gear to fuel your girl’s passion is a great gift for the girl with a sporting streak. It could be a pair of stylish sneakers, sports gear, or a cool bottle of water. It’s the same as giving her a baton to say, “Go for ’em!”
Do you have any hobbies? If so, dig a little bit deeper. Are they into baking? You can help her achieve her Great British Bake Off goals with a baking set that includes fun molds and cutters. Is she a fan of the idea? Starter plant kits could be her new obsession.
Jewelry? Absolutely. Imagine charm bracelets that she can add to over time. This becomes a personal story, something she can wear on her arm. Each charm will bring back a memory.
A little quirky suggestion–novelty socks! You can’t resist socks with tacos and unicorns on them. She will wiggle her feet in delight each time she puts them on.
You have it. The eclectic gift ideas are as diverse as the dazzling personality a thirteen-year-old girl. It’s important to keep the gift-giving lighthearted and filled with love. Remember, the goal is to make her feel loved and appreciated on her special occasion.
