Imagine your 13th Birthday. The onset of teenage years is an exciting time. It’s been a year since you realized that your dolls are out of date, and yet the keys to your car still seem a bit too far away. The tween is torn between the worlds of childhood and teenage years. What can you give her? A conundrum that’s as old and as trite as it is. Do not worry, we have a treasure trove of original ideas for you to delight and surprise. See more creative and thoughtful 13th birthday gift ideas here.
But not to the extreme. It’s likely that your kids don’t want to be treated like little children anymore and are constantly bugging about their lack of a smartphone. You can go either way with a pair of stylish, wireless earbuds. They can jam to their favorite songs or/and pretend that they haven’t heard you say “Time for meal!” the fourth time.
Would you like to enter the world of video games? Video games are said to be a magnet for teenagers. You can upgrade your gaming setup with a headset like the cool ones you see on Twitch. Playing digital games or solving puzzles will make your child feel immersed in the experience.
Talk about fashion now. Today, the emphasis is on discovering who you are. This can include embracing an unconventional sense of fashion. Giving gift cards to clothing boutiques that are trendy allows them to select what suits their taste. Don’t forget that today’s love of leopard print might turn out to be tomorrow’s sneer. Growing up is part of the process.
In terms of self-expression art supplies could be popular. The right set of art supplies can help them unleash their creativity and imagination. Imagine what Vincent van Gogh could have made if, at 13, he were given an entire box of color! It’s their canvas, not the world.
Books! Do elephants or books share a similar memory? You can find a great book that appeals to anyone, regardless of whether or not they have a passion for reading. Imagine graphic novels, thrilling tales or coming-of-age stories. Many children have discovered adventure and solace in the books.
Teenagers who love sports are another animal. The grace and speed of the ball court or soccer pitch may have captured their attention. A passion for sports, their team’s jerseys or even tickets to the local match could be ignited.
You may remember the friendship bracelets of middle school. They remind you of simpler times. Add to the nostalgia by using a jewelry making kit. The kit will not only help to cultivate their creativity, but they can also use it as an accessory. Additionally, friendships made around craft tables and campfires can often lead to life-long relationships.
You can consider subscribing to a box that matches their interests. Every box can be a treasure. Whether it is books, crafts, snacks or experiments from around the world. A parcel bearing their name will always be welcomed.
Maybe a complete room renovation will be able to surprise them if nothing else works. The excitement level is higher than you may think when it comes to transforming their home space in order for them to express their ever-changing tastes. You can make your home “the place to relax” by adding LED lights and cool posters.
Also, what about a tech-free gift? The perfect instant camera is available. It’s perfect for mini-adventures and heartfelt memories, as well as cool selfies. I can tell you that there is a special magic to watching a film developing right before your eyes.
You can choose one to be the most cool gift giver when the teenagers arrive. The gifts are a way to acknowledge their individuality and help them transition out of the childhood years into this formative period. The first step to discovering their true self.
