- A new handbag will please most girls of any age.colorful daisy handbag image by Lijuan Guo from Fotolia.com
If there is a girl in your life that you need to find a gift for, you might be nervous that you are no longer in touch with changing trends and might select a gift she will not enjoy. While girls can be difficult to buy gifts for if you are not intimately familiar with their tastes, keeping the general interests of young girls in mind can help you make the right decision. - At some point during their teen or preteen years, most girls discover the magic of handbags, leading to a lifelong obsession for some. If the girl you are shopping for is in her teens or younger, it is likely that she would enjoy a new handbag equally as much regardless of whether it is the first or the tenth in her collection. If you are unfamiliar with her wardrobe, select a handbag with a major brand name and a neutral color such as black or brown.
- If your daughter is on a shared family mobile phone plan, chances are that you either have to severely limit her usage, or that you have received a bill with unexpected overage charges at some point. Many phone carriers are now making overage charges a thing of the past by offering unlimited talking and texting for lower fees than ever. Check to see if a low flat rate plan is available through your carrier. If your carrier does not offer this type of plan, consider purchasing a separate pay-as-you-go phone for your daughter.
- If your gift recipient never seems to go anywhere without wearing the signature white earbuds of an MP3 player, consider purchasing a speaker dock compatible with that player. While earbuds can sound very nice thanks to their ability to pump music directly into the ears, this same ability can make them fatiguing to use. Giving her a speaker dock might also reduce the amount of time that she spends wearing her earbuds, allowing the family to socialize with her a little more.
- If the girl you are buying for spends a great deal of time on the computer, it is likely that she enjoys sharing her thoughts on random subjects with others on social networking and blogging websites. For this type of person, a domain name and website hosting are the ultimate gift. This will allow her to explore the world of Web design--which is now more accessible to novices than ever before--and will also give her an email account at her own domain. It may even contribute to her future career plans. Domain names ending in ".com" cost approximately $10 per year. When registering the domain, look for a registrar that offers free privacy protection so people cannot use your domain registration information to find your home address and phone number. If you are not the recipient's parent, make sure that you get approval from the girl's parents before doing this, as some parents might prefer to avoid the potential privacy issues and let their daughter explore Web development later in life.
- Young girls love to dress up like their mothers, but it can attract the wrong kind of attention when a girl begins wearing makeup at too young an age. One gift that can allow your young daughter to practice her "grown up" look without growing up too quickly is a set of stick-on nails. Many companies make simple stick-on nail designs with elements such as flowers and butterflies, designed specifically to appeal to young girls.
