A gift to a child of 13-16 years

Children in adolescence have almost the same preferences and wishes regarding gifts as adults. However, they are still not quite adults, and this must be taken into account - certain children's gifts are still quite appropriate, while some too-grown things are not yet needed. In short, only at first glance the choice seems simple, but in fact it is difficult. Gift to a child of 13-16 years should be chosen as carefully as possible.

Children of 13-16 years are often united by the general concept of “teenagers”, believing that these are not children any more, but also not quite adults. This view is correct, but at this age, children are not all the same, growing up gradually, and even individually for each individual child. When choosing what to give to a child for a birthday, it is necessary to build on both a specific age and the actual adulthood level of the birthday man. Approximately different ages can be described as follows:

• 13 years old. The child is just entering a transitional age, and often he himself has not quite understood it yet. However, in most cases, it is approximately at this moment that the first arguments begin that “I’m already an adult.” Most often, such reasoning is somewhat erroneous, but there is a great desire to prove to adults that they are talking to an equal. It would be nice to direct this energy to a useful course, giving something that will accustom to responsibility. As an option - you can simply distract the child with an interesting gift.

• 14 years old. At this age, children are divided into two categories - the first have the hardest stage of transitional age, and the second has only worsened, but the first, fortunately, is still greater. At the same time, responsibility at the age of 14 is definitely more, but emphasizing it is not so important anymore - you can simply donate some practical thing that a teenager or even an adult needs.
• 15 years. Now it is already growing up, but at the age of 15, children gradually begin to understand that in fact they are still quite far from adults. The transitional age has already ended almost at all, most have ended and children's dreams, which are gradually giving way to realistic views on the future life.

Now a gift will be perceived well, one way or another contributing to the fulfillment of the optimal (in the child's opinion) scenario of its future, but just bright interesting youth presents will be relevant.

• 16 years. The end of school is very close, and many teenagers at this point have time to decide on what to do after graduation. This is always a new challenge, often requiring moving to another city and living separately from parents.

Only now, many adolescents, having appreciated (albeit theoretically) all the difficulties of adult challenges, are beginning to realize that they are still children. Girls of this age can often be touched by a deliberately children's gift - for example, a large soft toy. With guys, the situation is often the opposite. They need to once again show that they are men and are able to cope with any problems.

Of course, this is a very sketchy description, and not all children behave this way during these periods, but the stages are roughly correct, so watch your child’s behavior, compare it with what has been written, and think what to give him.

There are many gift options for teens, and now they are not particularly divided depending on the sex of the hero of the occasion. What gift to choose is best described by the teenager himself, but you can not even ask him - at this age, children usually themselves enthusiastically tell about their interests and wishes, even without any reference to their birthday. You can please the birthday boy with something that he did not say out loud (or didn’t even dream about), so you should think about what to give a teenager.

One of the most common "adult" gifts of our time are gadgets, and in adolescence - it's time to give them. The child’s phone was almost certainly from childhood, but it’s obviously time to upgrade to a smartphone, even the latest models.

Against the background of the development of smartphones, purely musical devices are rapidly losing popularity, but still the music lover is simply obliged to appreciate the good player. A tablet can provide benefits not only for leisure, but also for study, and a laptop will also be an excellent gift for future students.

In adolescence, for most children, energy is no longer so boiling as it used to be, many are quietly throwing systematic exercise into sports, but some, on the contrary, understand that now they will never abandon this business.

Rollers should be given, probably, only to younger adolescents, but a bicycle is a useful gift for those who love this vehicle if you are not stingy and get an expensive and good model. Many boys (and even some girls) will also like their own pear - if there is a place at home where you can hang it.

Creativity (as well as sports) in adolescence is already abandoned by many, but there are also pleasant exceptions. A young man can give a guitar - he probably already understands that owning this instrument will easily make him the soul of any company and the favorite of girls. For the girls themselves, the most popular creative gift are embroidery kits, but this is too much for an amateur.

In a fairly developed adolescence, there are not so many options. Usually these are books, and even then they are very advanced and strictly from the interests of the birthday man. More valid and Board games - for example, quite adult "Monopoly" or "Mafia". Some advise giving and 3D-puzzles, but after 13 years it is hardly interesting.

Just the gift that will direct the extra energy into a useful course and teach that being an adult is not only “I can”, but also “I have to.” Quite small animals at this age are no longer presented. Teenage girls are crazy about kittens right now, and many guys would like to have a real dog friend. However, it happens the other way around.

In adolescence, children are already beginning to see the difference between the clothes that their parents will buy in everyday life, and worthy expensive things that can be received as a gift. The desire to look beautiful and like the opposite sex is now expressed very brightly, so good pants, a shirt or a jacket will be very useful for guys, and girls will like bright dresses, shoes or bags. Jewelry will also come in handy.

As a rule, the more options available, the more difficult it is to choose something specific. That is why it is worth to highlight several popular gifts that will appeal to the majority.

Teenage boys always have a healthy craving for adventure and success. Among youth quests are very popular, but for their passage you usually need to go somewhere on purpose. There is also a desktop implementation - for example, the now popular quest in the box "The Riddle of the Astrologer's Manor." You can measure your business skills with friends and good luck to the boy with the help of another board game, Monopoly, which has been popular for a very long time.

Girls are now very greedy for decorations. The same earrings are very popular as a gift to a girl - for example, clover earrings or any similar jewelry that reflects the tastes and preferences of the hostess. From expensive you can pay attention to the products of the brand Honey Jewelry. Very happy girl and decoration on the neck - choker Befree or other famous brand.

Since children are no longer small, there are not so many different requirements for the gift to be chosen - apart from meeting the tastes of the future owner. In general, these requirements are very close to those for gifts for adults.

Here they are:

• Security. Any gift should be safe for its owner and the people around him. Teenagers do not yet have to give weapons - neither cold, nor (especially) a gunshot.
• Quality. Even the most practical gift is given not only for good, but also for long memory. If you want a happy birthday boy not to break a gift given in the coming weeks (or simply not tossed a gift because of its unsuitability or uselessness), choose only high-quality goods.
• Certificates Sometimes when buying branded goods, not only the external and practical characteristics of the gift are important, but also documentary evidence of the conformity of the product to the brand indicated on the box. When purchasing an expensive branded device or jewelry from a well-known brand, be sure to check the certificates so as not to inadvertently donate a cheap low-priced fake.
