For The Girl Who Has Everything: Christmas Gift Ideas
Christmas isn’t always the easiest time of year. A celebration that’s supposed to be all about spending quality time with your family has turned into something that’s a whole lot more about what gifts you buy and receive. If your bank account isn’t feeling too healthy, it can be extremely stressful as you figure out your finances to work out what you should and shouldn’t purchase for your loved ones. Young women are particularly hard to buy for – they seem to have everything they might need already, so it’s hard to know what else to buy! Here are some gift ideas to help you make your Christmas gifts worthwhile.
Make-Up
Make-up is always a great idea as almost every teenage girl enjoys experimenting with it. First of all, make sure that she actually enjoys and wears make-up. Then you could go along to a beauty counter at a department store or Sephora with a photograph of your gift recipient and ask what colors would suit them. If you’re still not sure what to go for, go for an eyeshadow palette. Urban Decay Naked palettes, Too Faced chocolate palettes, and the Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance palette are all great choices with colors to suit all skin tones.
Clothes
If you’re confident in your fashion taste, clothes are a great gift idea. Look into what popular celebrities like Gigi Hadid, Lupita Nyong’o and Kristen Stewart are wearing – they’re always on trend and also manage to wear clothes that are easy to translate to the high street. Check out trends like bomber jackets and faux fur for clothes that will keep them warm and fashionable at the same time, and look for deals like Abof coupons to save a little money. If you’re not sure about sizes, go for a warm scarf or a cozy hat.
Look At Their Hobbies
If you’re buying a gift for someone, chances are, you know a lot about their hobbies, right? If you know they love music, buy them a gift card for a ticket website, and if you know they’re into musical theater, google the best obscure Broadway shows and buy the soundtrack to Next To Normal or The Last Five Years. Encourage hobbies like art by purchasing art supplies as a gift, or maybe a glossy art history book. If they love jewelry or make-up but you’re not sure what exactly to get, buy some form of storage like a smart clear Perspex case or a jewelry roll so they can take their favourite items on vacation safely.
Ask Them For Ideas
Being a teenager is tough partly because you often feel as though your opinion is rarely consulted on anything. Asking the teens in your life what sort of gifts they want guarantees that they’ll get what they asked for, and a weight will be lifted off your shoulders too. You could even ask for a list, so you can pick out one item on it so Christmas will still be a surprise! No matter how silly or frivolous you might think the items on the list are, get one anyway – Christmas is all about making people happy, and that’s a great way to do it.
