Sometimes it is not easy for a teenager to choose a birthday present. He may certainly need the latest model of a cell phone or player. Or it is necessary to upgrade the computer, and the parents do not understand anything about this. Or even a teenager wants money in order to go with friends to a fashionable cafe. In order for the birthday to remain in the memory of the child and his parents as a wonderful holiday, it is necessary to attend to the choice of a gift in advance.
A teenager is not yet an adult, but no longer a child. Some parents find it difficult to get used to the new status of their child, so sometimes they are thrown to extremes. Your child will no longer be delighted with new cars and dolls. Also, he is unlikely to be interested in status things that are appreciated by adults - an expensive watch, a pen, a leather-bound diary.
Surely your son or daughter has a dream. Try to do it on your birthday. It's easier for those parents whose children want a puppy, new videos or a rare edition of a comic book - these things can simply be bought. If your daughter dreams of sleeping as a singer, and your son wants to stop looking like a nerd, you can only contribute to the realization of their desires. Present the girl with a vocal training certificate, and the boy with a gym membership and lenses. Teens will surely love it.
Most young people are addicted to technical innovations. Mobile phones, players, gameboys, tablets, netbooks will be great gifts. However, if you are not versed in technology, it would be better to choose a gift together with a child or find out the exact characteristics of the gadget so that the surprise is truly desired.
Chances are, your teen has a hobby. Even if it seems like a waste of time to you, it is very important to the child. Show respect and give him a gift that will come in handy in his studies. A son or daughter will accept such a gift with gratitude.
The media play a huge role in the lives of young men and women. Films, games, TV shows and comics are watched, collected and discussed with friends. If you know that your son or daughter is an ardent admirer of any work, order him a mug or a T-shirt with your favorite hero, purchase a figurine depicting a character in a Western online store. The teenager will love it.
For adolescents, his authority among friends is very important. If the child insists that instead of a gift he wants to go bowling or to a concert with friends, let him do it. Thus, he will increase his social status in the company, which will be the best gift for him.
