Gifts for a 13 Year Old Girl

Trying to find the perfect gift for a 13 year old girl can be difficult because there are so many options. They are in a state of flux, sometimes very mature, and the next childlike.

This is a time for them to grow and explore their interests. So while it can be difficult to chose just one, there are lots of options.

To find the best gift for a thirteen year old girl, you just need ask them about what they love to do. Then just chose something that can help them to pursue it.

Letting someone do they thing the love the most is the best present you can give to anyone. So let's explore the best gift ideas for the 13 year old girl in your life.

If you do not know the girl you are buying for very well gift cards can be a great idea. However be careful when choosing a gift card. you don't want to pick a card for a store that they would never shop in.

There are a couple of safe bets when it comes to gift cards for teenagers - Movies and Amazon.

Going to the movies is still one of the most popular activities for teenagers.

Amazon is a good choice because they will have unlimited options when it comes to choosing what to buy for themselves.

This is a time when they are growing up and exploring cosmetics. So perfume samplers, nail polish kits, and make up kits are good choices.

This gives them a chance to find the color, style, or fragrance that will work for them. This was one of my nieces favorite gifts as her and her friends could try to give each other makeovers.

Music is a huge part of any teenagers world. Some just want to listen to their favorite bands and singers. Others want to emulate their favorite musicians by playing an instrument or some even create their own music.

My nieces best friend doesn't just want to listen to music she wants to play it. So on her 13th birthday she asked for an electric guitar.

She was so thrilled when she actually got it. She has been getting lessons and is now starting to be able to play songs by her favorite band the Beatles.

The Beatles may seem like an odd choice for a 13 year old girl, she does like more current artists as well, but that is who she likes the most.

My niece isn't really all that interested in learning to play an instrument, but she does love listening to music. So for her a MP3 player was what she wanted.

They are perfect for teenagers as they are always on the go and they are light and portable. While MP3 players come with headphones they do not tend to last very long with teenagers.

My niece can go through at least a couple of cheap sets of headphones a year. So a good set of headphones can be a good gift idea to get for them as they get older. it will compliment the MP3 player you got them this year.

My niece loves reading books. Some of her favorites are the Hunger Games series and the Divergent Series. You have probably heard of the Hunger Games since it has already a few of its books become blockbuster movies.

Divergent is already beloved by many teenage girls and it has only grown exponentially since the first movie in the series was released in March of 2014. Interest is expected to gear up again with the release of the second one in March of 2015.

Thirteen year old girls like to be fashionable. However buying clothes for them is a landmine. Will it fit or would they even wear it?

A great way to help them is with hair products. A flat iron can help them with making their hair look great.

Hair Chalk lets them experiment with colors without making it permanent. This way if they don't like how it looks (or Mom doesn't approve) they can just wash it out.

It is hard to imagine a teenager these days without the latest technological device. A lap top can help them with their education and for keeping in contact with friends. Kindle is a great portable device that is much more than just an e-reader. A camera is great for taking photos with your friends.

Sports and fitness are very important to a teenage girl. A popular choice is a gift related to the sport that they love. It can be equipment that they need to participate or even clothing articles that show they support a team.

For fitness Zumba has become very popular because it is more like dancing. They love to get together to learn all the dance moves. You can get Zumba as a video game or on a DVD if you don't know which console they own.
