When it comes to teenage girls, gifts are either a hit or a miss. They’re either going to love it or they’re going to hate it. So here’s a clue to make sure it’s the former: Go to SuzyToronto.com to do your shopping. Then remember that teenage girls love humor, wit, sarcasm and sassiness. They’re going to love the gifts you select for them at this site if you keep that in mind.
For teenage girls, gifts are about being recognized as an individual—a unique and developing woman all her own. Selecting a great gift hinges on you recognizing that she is an emerging woman and celebrating her growing maturity with her. She doesn’t want anything lame or cliché’, but she will appreciate a gift you select with her especially in mind.
Consider selecting a gift that reflects a new and developing interest she’s recently embraced. Has she taken up golf, tennis, or scrapbooking? Is she volunteering to teach younger students at Sunday School? Or perhaps she is very aware of ecology and the environment. Consider a t-shirt that says “She Who Loves to Golf,” “She Who Loves Tennis,” “She Who Loves Scrapbooking,” “She Who Loves to Teach,” or “She Who’s Gone Green,” as appropriate, to show her you’re paying attention to her interests. Teenage girls gifts should let her know you’re noticing her and what she is doing. She may not say it out loud, but that makes you score big!
Other great teenage girls gifts are those that incorporate your awareness that she is entering the world of womanhood. For instance, a small box of “The Sacred Sisterhood of Wonderful Wacky Women” note cards will let her know you now view her as an adult, not a child, and make a big hit.
Likewise with a mouse pad that says “Behind Every Successful Woman Is A Substantial Amount of Chocolate” or “She Who Is A Wonderful Wacky Woman.” For teenage girls, gifts like these let them know they are on their way—and they’re not little kids anymore.
At SuzyToronto.com, gifts aren’t specifically designated for teenage girls. Gifts are equally appropriate for women of 16 or women of 60—all of whom have a great sense of humor and style, of course. But many of the gift ideas do offer a unique opportunity to encourage teenage girls. Gifts like the “Love the Fin You’re In” mouse pad and the “Trust Your Crazy Ideas” memo pad let them know it’s okay to be exactly who they are and to make no apologies for that.
Magnets with positive sayings like “You Are Absolutely Over-the-Top Amazing! . . . Don’t Ever Forget It!” and “Inches and ages and sizes don’t tell you anything about the amazing woman inside” also reinforce and encourage girls in this age group to hold tight to their individuality, even in a society where conformity seems to be the norm.
SuzyToronto.com believes in the power and solidarity of women sticking together and supporting each other—no matter what the age of the woman. And it’s particularly encouraging to find a site like this that can help us strengthen this concept starting with our teenage girls. Gifts that build self-esteem like these are gifts that will keep on giving long beyond the occasion for which they are given.
