Delivery throughout Russia. What can you give a friend for her birthday: the most useful and most original gifts for any age Surprises for a friend’s 16th birthday

Sixteen years is a serious date, already an adult’s birthday. At the same time, the birthday girl is still so young and carefree. And what to give a girl for her 16th birthday? So that it would be a gift neither for a child nor for an adult? Would the gift itself surprise her, impress her and cause her to smile joyfully? All suitable ideas are below.

For adult readers, we invite you to remember yourself and your peers at 16 years old. At this age, teenagers already specifically understand what they like and what they don’t.

They have certain tastes and dreams. But the latter change very quickly, which is why there is a high chance of making a mistake with a pre-purchased gift.

Also, boys and girls aged 16 are characterized by maximalism. Either they want to celebrate their birthday “to the fullest” and receive only stunning gifts, or they don’t want anything at all.

Unfortunately, for many, 16 is the age of rebellion. Teenagers decide that their parents don’t understand them at all and give them worthless advice. Many people do not let their loved ones in on their thoughts and dreams. It is very difficult to understand what such a girl needs. At this point you will have to turn to her friends to find out exactly what to please the birthday girl on her holiday.

In addition, it is difficult to choose a universal gift option that would suit all 16-year-old girls. Some people dream of the latest collection of their favorite designer, while others are happy to receive informal clothes as a gift, others – an iPhone, and others with all their hearts want a kitten.

So what can you give a girl for her 16th birthday? There is only one piece of advice here: don’t look for something universal. Look at the hero of the occasion - what exactly she likes. It wouldn’t hurt to ask her friends and brothers and sisters. Or you can simply turn to her herself: “What do you want to get for your birthday?”

Who is the present from?

Let's decide who our donor is - we will recommend options specifically for each group.

Parents

It’s clear that the girl expects the most significant gift from her mom and dad. Its price here, alas, can even be very steep. But we only have a 16th birthday once in our lives.

A gift from parents could be like this:

  • Stylish decoration. Designer, precious, hand-made, collectible... It really depends on the tastes of the hero of the occasion. It’s a good idea to give her a certificate or choose one with her to be sure.

  • Bag backpack. Always a necessary and relevant thing. And mom and dad will help you buy a quality product that the girl doesn’t have enough pocket money for.
  • Shoes, clothes. Fashion is changing rapidly, and your beauty may urgently need a few new things for the new season. So why not go shopping in honor of the name day?

  • Book, music, video collection. The gift is good if you know your daughter’s favorite authors, performers, and directors. Choosing “she definitely needs this” is no longer an option for 16 years old.
  • Journey. Youth is a time of adventure. An expensive, but most wonderful gift is to give your daughter a trip to the city, the country of her dreams.
  • Electronics. Tablet, smartphone, laptop, smart watch, wireless headphones... Young people are greedy for new technology, whose prices do not delight their parents. But 16 years is quite a decent age to become the owner of a brand new gadget.

  • A gift based on her interests, hobby. Teenagers often change hobbies, give up one thing, start another... But if your daughter has been doing something for a long time and seriously, then why not give her something that is useful for her hobby? It is better, of course, to unobtrusively find out from her herself what she needs.

Advice! Many teenagers at 16 are already starting to think seriously about future studies. Maybe the girl will be glad to take preparatory courses, literature, and master classes in her future specialty?

Grandmothers and grandfathers

For them, even at 16, she is a sweet little girl. However, on this birthday, girls accept sweets, toys and trinkets just so as not to offend their grandparents. Do you want to really make your granddaughter happy?

What to give a 16 year old girl:

  • Accessory, decoration. An umbrella, leather gloves, a quality belt, a wallet, a laptop bag, a stylish diary...
  • Certificate for a clothing store. Of course, generations have different tastes, so it’s better not to take risks and give your granddaughter the opportunity to buy what she likes as a gift.
  • Money envelope. One of the most common options from grandparents.
  • Antique item. Maybe you have a family jewel? Now is the time to present it to her already grown-up, but so young granddaughter.
  • Bank account. You can open an account in the name of your granddaughter in a bank with the amount already available in it. Moreover, it is better to choose a long-term deposit so that she can manage the money when she definitely needs it - while studying at the university. At the same time, the amount will “grow” with interest by that time.

Advice! If you want to introduce a girl to something new with your gift, then think about whether this will conflict with her inner world? A fashionista is unlikely to be happy with a trip to tourist rafting, and a girl-athlete is unlikely to be happy with uncomfortable, albeit expensive, stilettos.

From friends and girlfriends

At the age of 16, many people’s studies do not allow them to work, and at the same time, to have more or less decent sums at their disposal. Therefore, it’s okay if a gift from friends is symbolic, made with your own hands. You will still have time to give each other expensive and status gifts.

And now:

  • Homemade postcard using scrapbooking technique.
  • Embroidered, painted portrait of the birthday girl.
  • A large collage with sweets and her photo.
  • Slideshow, video about the birthday girl.
  • Unusual congratulations on social networks.
  • Cool diary, notebook.
  • A song, a poem in her honor.
  • A large cake made by hand.
  • A toy, a doll, sewn, knitted for her.
  • A piece of clothing if you are good at sewing, knitting.
  • Handmade jewelry.

From a young man

Romantic relationships at 16 are not uncommon today or in the past. So what should a beloved guy do on his chosen one’s name day?

Here's what we can suggest:

  • Plush toy. And it’s great if she also speaks and sings. Surely the girl will be delighted with such a present!
  • Her favorite perfume. Of course, at 16 years old, not everyone has the money for such luxury - you can opt for a less expensive, but high-quality replica.
  • Bouquet! And not just her favorite flowers. You can “kill two birds with one stone” - give a bouquet of sweets, chocolate, caramel, exotic fruits, Kinders or soft toys.
  • Romantic dinner in an excellent restaurant in your city.
  • Certificate for a photo shoot – individual or joint.
  • A ticket to a concert of her favorite band.

Advice! A mandatory addition to the gift is warm words, a walk together, get-togethers, sincere compliments and wishes.

Relatives

If the holiday is so widespread that the whole family was invited to the name day, then the relatives will also have to think about a present.

What to give a girl for her 16th birthday:

  • Stylish women's wristwatch. And some girls, by the way, love modern and multifunctional smart watches.
  • Gift-impression. From a certificate for flying in a wind tunnel to a trip to a beauty salon. It is important, of course, to choose an impression that will appeal to the hero of the occasion.
  • Souvenirs, designer items for the room, desk. You can choose unusual gadgets that will help you with your studies.
  • Cosmetics, bath sets for young skin.
  • Gift for hair - multi-colored crayons, multifunctional hair dryer, straightener/curling iron, designer hairpins, wreaths, headbands.
  • If a girl likes to do manicures, then she will like high-quality tools, a large palette of varnishes, and a UV dryer for gel manicure.
  • Decorative cosmetics. To avoid mistakes, it is better to choose multi-color palettes so that the birthday girl can find her favorite tone there and experiment with new ones.

Advice! If you are not in close contact with the girl, then it is better to talk about the topic of the gift with her or her parents, so as not to purchase an unnecessary gift.

TOP gifts

Let's see what young girls themselves prefer to get for 16 years:

  1. Technology, electronics. This present traditionally comes first. My most cherished dream is the latest smartphone model.
  2. Clothes and shoes. Many people simply dream of receiving a gift certificate to choose what they need. And also luxurious terry bathrobes, unusual slippers, funny one-piece pajamas. And a truly royal gift is a certificate for sewing a festive, cocktail dress!
  3. Bag, backpack. There will never be enough of this goodness! Look at the latest trends, browse offers from virtual markets.
  4. Cosmetics. Of course, the “Young Fairy” set is no longer enough. Some girls own a collection of cosmetics no less than that of makeup artists. Therefore, the choice is again a universal certificate.
  5. An unusual notebook, notebook, diary for intimate notes. An original cover and interesting internal content - all kinds of tips, reminders, ideas of the day. And for a person who loves to draw and sketch, be sure to give her a sketchbook.

  1. Camera. Many girls at 16 are extremely creative. Most of them are fascinated by photography - both of themselves and their friends, as well as thoughtful photographs of the surrounding people. The best thing is a “DSLR”, a camera with instant printing of pictures.
  2. Book. Yes, young people today love books. Almost every girl has a favorite author or genre. Many people like to read in a foreign language. Some people love audio books. An excellent gift would be either a printed publication or an electronic gadget.
  3. Unusual content for the room - frameless furniture, exercise equipment, 3D bed linen, space night lights, fluffy carpets and bedspreads. And, of course, soft toys.
  4. Creative gift. The girl will be very happy with a certificate for a photo shoot or a ready-made portrait based on her photograph. Girls also love unusual designer jewelry.
  5. Gift based on interests. Like any other person, the 16-year-old birthday girl is waiting for a present for her holiday that will be useful for her hobby.

What to give to a girlfriend aged 10 to 20? At this age it is not very easy to please the birthday girl. Practical tips on how to choose a useful and pleasant gift for a young girl that fits into any budget.

Some girls begin to think about what to wear to a friend’s birthday a month before the special date, but they only remember about the gift two days before the congratulations. If the moment for presenting a gift has come, but it still hasn’t arrived, then you need to urgently correct the situation!

What can you give to a 10-15 year old girl?

The choice of a gift at this age is dictated by the funds allocated by the parents. If they are limited, then for a girl 10-12 years old you can buy an affordable soft toy, a symbolic T-shirt, a glamorous school item, an unusual pendant for a cell phone, or a disk with a computer game for girls. If your parents are generous, you can go shopping for electronics and choose an MP3 player, computer headphones, a WEB camera, a flash drive on a chain, or a pink keyboard as a gift for a girl who turns 13, 14, or 15 years old. Girlfriends aged 10 who love to spend time in front of the mirror will love sets of children's cosmetics, and young fashionistas aged 12 will be delighted with a bright handbag, a stylish set of jewelry or an unusual umbrella. Sports girls will definitely like sets for outdoor games, accessories for swimming or fitness, and homebodies will find handicraft kits or construction sets for girls 10–11 years old very useful. You can make an unusual surprise for a 12-13 year old birthday girl if you think about the gift in advance and order a sweatshirt with her photo. As an original surprise, you can give the hero of the occasion a bouquet of soft toys, and if your friend is constantly late for school, then a cool and multifunctional alarm clock will be a symbolic gift.

What to give a girl aged 16–20 for her birthday?

In the period from 16 to 20 years, each date is symbolic, which means the gift should be meaningful and memorable. If possible, for your friend’s 16th, 18th and 20th birthdays, it is best to give gold jewelry, such as earrings or a pendant - such a gift will remind you of youthful friendship even decades later. If you don’t have enough money for gold, then it is recommended to take a closer look at silver or jewelry steel products. For friends who are indifferent to jewelry, but do not pass by the electronics department, you can present a video player or wireless headphones for their 17th birthday. For a friend on her 19th birthday, it is quite appropriate to give her a gift that will help her stay beautiful, for example, a hair dryer, epilator or hair straightening iron. If by the age of 20 a girl has already managed to start a family and is just starting to equip her home, any items that help run the household will not be superfluous for her: a coffee maker, an electric kettle, a meat grinder, dishes. You can congratulate a girl you know or a classmate who is turning 18 years old with a symbolic gift in the form of a good pen or an unusual passport cover. If your budget is limited, then a small painting drawn from a photograph of a girl by a street artist would be a good souvenir. In order not to give a lot of small and useless things, several friends can pool their finances and present the hero of the occasion for her 19th or 18th birthday with an expensive piece of jewelry, a laptop, a tablet computer or a trip to a tourist trip. By the way, instead of a regular bouquet, it is better to choose a bouquet made from sweets or an unusual toy made from flowers.

On the eve of the holiday, a difficult question begins to torment you - what to give your friend for her 16th birthday, what gift will pleasantly surprise her and make her truly, with all her heart? This birthday is not just another holiday, it is the most long-awaited and important date in the life of a young girl. Childhood is left behind, turning 16 is a new milestone, a transition to a joyful and vibrant period of youth, when amazing opportunities open up ahead and amazing adventures await. Of course, you need to celebrate your sixteenth birthday in such a way that the holiday remains a bright and unforgettable page in your memory! This means that your friend needs to choose the gift she dreams of.

Important: you can choose a gift for your friend for her birthday in different ways, but it’s best to start preparing in advance and think everything through. In order not to make a mistake and not to disappoint the birthday girl with an unsuccessful choice, it is worth making a list of those options that are suitable, and then from them choose the one and only ideal one. There are many ideas for successful gifts for a sixteen-year-old girl, for different budgets, different tastes and needs. Choose what, in your opinion, is most suitable for the birthday girl, and give it with love!

The closest

A gift for your best friend is always something special, personal and unique. For her birthday, the birthday girl expects something similar from her best friend, hopes that she will come up with and find how to pleasantly surprise, and it will be from her that the most pleasant surprise and joy will come. As a best friend, you can safely give the birthday girl something personal, piquant, valuable - something that no one else will give. And try to choose a worthy thing!


Original ideas

You can surprise the birthday girl on her birthday with something unusual, cool and very original. Many things may not be particularly practical or necessary, but they will make a girl’s life brighter and more enjoyable, lift her spirits, and will delight the eye and soul for a long time. So, choose the most original and surprise!



Universal ideas

If you can’t find a souvenir for your friend’s birthday, you don’t want anything pretentious, personal, or expensive, but you just want to make it nice and show your attention - there are great ideas for modest, but very pleasant surprises.


Choose a gift, listen to your intuition and take your time. Let what you give to your friend delight her, create a sensation and be remembered forever. And the holiday will become a real fairy tale!

16 years is a wonderful age, a time when life is perceived easily, and those in their early thirties seem old. What to give a 16-year-old friend, those who like to give more than receive ask themselves, trying to make really good presents that will be remembered for a long time and will certainly be liked. Of course, the answer to this question must be sought based on the young age of the recipient. Some people at this time are interested in a certain sport, others listen to alternative music, and still others have some exotic hobby, assuring everyone that they will be faithful to it all their lives. But sometimes hobby gifts are not suitable as an optimal solution to the problem of what to give a 16-year-old friend. Such a favorite activity simply may not exist. Or goods associated with it cost, for example, half of your fortune. In this case, an excellent option would be to present an inexpensive, original gift to the hero of the occasion.

In view of what was said above, first of all, I would like to recommend interesting souvenirs with the possibility of applying a unique inscription or name of the recipient. So, for example, when deciding what to give your 16-year-old friend, you can buy the hero of the occasion a mug with a bright, cool inscription. This could be a version of a mug that says *All people are like people, and I am a queen*. This product will be used for its intended purpose, reminding your friend of your attention to her. This dish has every chance of becoming a favorite, and you will receive a lot of thanks.

When thinking about what to give your friend for her 16th birthday, don’t miss another interesting option. We are talking about presenting a bouquet of toys. Turning sixteen can be perceived in different ways. And, naturally, at the age of 16, the girl herself thinks that she has finally become an adult. But childhood hasn’t gone far, and even as you grow up, sometimes you want to feel small. A long-lasting, unfading bouquet collected from touching cute bunnies will definitely find a response in the soul of the hero of the occasion. You don’t need to take special care of such a bouquet, but the joy from it is no less than from real fresh flowers, and perhaps, given the unfading nature of such a presentation, even more.

The answer to the question of what to give a 16-year-old friend can be another gift, for example, a T-shirt with a bright, comic inscription. Model T-shirt *This is what the world's best friend looks like*. Great idea for a gift. Funny, extraordinary, and at the same time practical. In addition, you can choose any word that the store’s specialists will add after the inscription “This is what the best in the world looks like...”, for example, the name of the person for whom you are looking for a gift.

Holidays make our lives brighter, more fun, joyful, more interesting. Especially if this holiday is the birthday of a beloved friend. On the eve of such an event, one important question still remains unresolved: what can you give your friend for her birthday? And we will immediately address it.

Girls love to receive surprises, so we will leave an envelope with money and a gift certificate to the Everything for the Home store as a last resort or for the time when your friend turns 60. In the meantime, you are young, enterprising and unpredictable, we offer top 10 What to give your best friend for her birthday.

  1. Make a video clip about you, about your friendship with nostalgic photos and wishes for the future.
  2. The second point is very similar to the first: make a photo collage or cook certificate for a joint stylized photo shoot.
  3. You are close friends, which means you know everything about each other’s hobbies. Give your artist friend a unique canvas or expensive oil paints. If she is interested in needlework, something from the “handmade for girls” series: canvases for embroidery, accessories for making jewelry, a set for making handmade soap, etc.
  4. Invite your friend to karaoke or a concert and perform her favorite song.
  5. Z Submit a T-shirt or sweatshirt with a photo of you together and give it to your friend for another.

  7. Prepare or order a designer cake: girls love sweets.
  8. Another original congratulation: invite professional musicians or your friend’s favorite band.
  9. Do you know about your friend's dream? Perhaps it’s a trip, an expensive set, a coveted bag or a set of your favorite cosmetics? Then combine your efforts and budgets with other invited guests and make the birthday girl's dream come true.
  10. And don’t forget about beauty: instead of the usual flowers, you can present your friend with bouquets of candies or bouquets made with your own hands and with love.

What to give your friend for her 16th birthday?

Turning sixteen is a magical time for any girl, when she is ready to accept gifts, compliments and admiring glances from others. It's better at this age give emotions, pleasant surprises, which will bring more benefits than expensive material things.

  1. A surprise party to which she will be brought with her eyes closed is suitable as a gift for a 16-year-old girl. Contact the birthday girl's relatives, invite close friends, organize a luxurious program and light treats and give her an unforgettable holiday.

Teenagers are often faced with the problem of what gift to give to a friend for her birthday, so that both the memory remains and the minimum amount of money is spent. After all, little money is usually allocated for such events, but you really want to give your loved one a real gift! First of all, let's figure out what you shouldn't give: these are all kinds of paintings, figurines, books, which usually gather dust on the shelves and take up a lot of space. If you want to give something inexpensive but useful, make a gift yourself.

  • Make a beautiful bracelet from rubber bands, a pendant for your phone, or a stylish handbag. On our website there are many video lessons and various accessories.
  • Make a custom postcard and write beautiful words of wishes into it. You can use the maximum format and design a postcard with the whole class so that everyone can write a congratulation and draw a picture.
  • Ask friends, relatives and teachers make colorful signs with wishes, photograph them, print the photos and create a collage. Such a memorable gift can be framed and shown to friends until old age.
  • Make a lot of stylish boxes and put cute little things and tasty treats there: bows, hairpins, balls, chewing gum and various candies.
  • Fill the jar with M&M's, cover with a lid and decorate with a bow. Your girlfriend will definitely like this surprise.

If you have a certain budget for a gift to your friend, you can spend it on a set of decorative cosmetics, a bright handbag or jewelry. Girls who are keen on sports will love new equipment, a beautiful T-shirt or a stylish sports bag. Craftswomen will be very happy with a brand new box or hand-made set, and homebodies will love an exciting board game, indoor plants or a disc with video games.

The 18-year-old girl is increasingly thinking about the future, wants to be attractive and educated. Therefore, if you have a decent amount, give your friend certificate for spa treatments, monthly fitness subscription, an invitation to a self-development seminar or a short trip. The beauty of such a gift is that you can accompany the birthday girl and share with her all the joyful emotions of this wonderful day.
