What should a birthday gift be?
Now let's think, what should this gift be?
When choosing a gift, answer the following questions:
- Do you personally like the chosen accessory? Remember that the values of the parents now do not coincide with the values of the teenage girl.
- Does your gift violate the boundaries of morality and morality? Teenagers learn all the information about the rules of behavior, about the culture of communication with peers and people around them within the family circle. This is especially true for mother-daughter relationships. Try to imagine: you are explaining to your daughter the morality of using this gift. If you couldn’t imagine the picture in your head, then change your choice of gift.
- Is this a personal gift? If you don’t know exactly what your child’s preferences are, then you shouldn’t get away with a duty book in bright wrapping paper or a pink elephant with a white bow. A gift from parents is a unique and one-of-a-kind gift. Someone else will give you the pink elephants.
Let's look at several options for holiday gifts and study the advantages and disadvantages of each choice.
Cool gadgets for teenagers
Of course, the leading positions in the list of gifts for teenagers are occupied by various gadgets. If you decide to present something from this category, choose current models, because teenagers closely follow emerging new products, and last year’s smartphone will no longer surprise them. The most desirable and relevant gadgets are:
Smartphone. For many years, smartphones have not given up their positions and are the most desired gift, which, in principle, is not surprising, because several times a year manufacturers introduce new devices to the market with amazing functions, completely new materials and increasingly original designs.
Virtual reality glasses/helmet. The device creates the illusion of a three-dimensional image and allows the birthday boy to immerse himself in a computer graphic world, experiencing incredible emotions and sensations.
Smart watch. A multifunctional gadget is gradually becoming an indispensable assistant for many people, and teenagers are no exception. Thanks to it, you can control phone functions with just one touch, which is very important in transport and during the cold season.
In addition, the following gadgets can delight a teenager:
- laser keyboard;
- gamepad;
- smart sneakers;
- action camera;
- touch screen gloves;
- color e-book;
- fitness tracker;
- smart pen;
- wireless headphones;
- external hard drive;
- smart speaker;
- tablet;
- gaming steering wheel with pedals;
- instant camera.
Gadgets and accessories
Teenagers cannot imagine their life without smartphones, tablets, smart watches and even alarm clocks. Therefore, the gadget will be an excellent gift that will last for at least several years.
EBook
A great idea for a 14 year old girl gift if she loves to read. You can load thousands of books into it without cluttering up space on your bookshelves.
Comfortable reading will be provided by an e-book with Moon Light backlighting.
External battery for gadget
If you have no idea what to give a 14-year-old girl, then an external battery will be a reasonable solution.
Gadgets do not hold a charge for long. A battery for a mobile or tablet will easily fit into a handbag or backpack and will help out when the charge reaches zero at the right moment.
Laptop bag or tablet case
Carrying a laptop simply in your hands is dangerous. It can be dropped, hit, damaged. And a new device is expensive.
The bag will provide convenient carrying and protect expensive equipment from damage. A tablet case will save you if it falls and prevent moisture and dust from entering.
Gift certificates as a gift for 14 years
If you are worried that you will not get the gift right, the best solution would be to present a gift certificate, which can be:
for education;

- to a sports store;

- to a beauty salon;
- for sewing a dress/suit;
- to a tea and coffee shop;
- for the services of a personal stylist;
- to the computer club;

Gift in the form of a subscription

- Sports section;
- Gym and other sporting activities.
- For football, hockey, championships in other sports.
- To the water park.
- Paintball, shooting range, bowling.
This category of gifts also includes a trip to a summer sports camp and funding for an organized hiking trip with friends.
To gain experience, you can buy a subscription for a period of one month, and if you are confident in the success of the classes, for a longer period.
Impressions and emotions as a gift
At the age of 14, few people are rational and practical, so gift-impressions are especially popular among teenagers. Besides, it’s very cool to show off such a gift to your friends, because not every one of them was given this:
- skydiving;
- descent in a zorb;
- visit to the water park;
- city tour on a Segway;
- trip to the city of dreams;
- ride in a limousine/carriage;
- swimming with dolphins;
- kayaking;

TOP 5 toys for a 14-year-old girl
14 years old is far from playing age, so the idea of a toy as a gift is immediately dismissed, but in vain. There are trendy toys that even a girl who considers herself an adult will not refuse:
- Soft toys come first. But here it is worth considering that although the girl remains a dreamer, the toys should be more realistic, for example, a teddy bear.
- Board games - "Mafia", "Jenga", "Monopoly" and others.
- Spinner - a girl will be interested in learning how to spin it in different ways, and then surprise her loved ones with her skill.
- Puzzles - Rubik's cube or other more modern versions of puzzles.
- A fortune teller ball is a modern version of fortune telling.
Books as a gift for a teenager
As you know, to become a successful person, appearance alone is not enough. You also need to have intellectual development and certain moral qualities. The following literature can help in the formation of a holistic and harmoniously developed personality:
- Diana Wynne Jones "Howl's Moving Castle";
- Olga Lucas “Thirteenth Edition”;
- Katherine Ingram "Where is Warhol?";
- Boris Vasiliev “Tomorrow there was a war...”;
- Garbert Wells "The Time Machine";
- Mary Stewart "Nine Coaches Await You"
- Natalya Shcherba “Clock Key”;
- Cornelia Funke "King of Thieves", "Inkheart";
- The Strugatsky brothers "Roadside Picnic";
- Mariam Petrosyan “The House in Which...”;
- Erich Maria Remarque “Three Comrades”, “The Hearts of Three”;
- Dan Heath and Chip Heath "Thinking Traps";
- John Green "The Fault in Our Stars"
- Natalia Volkova “Multi-colored snow”;

Original gifts for 14 years
This will probably seem unrealistic to some, but it is still possible to choose an unusual gift that will interest a 14-year-old teenager. The following non-trivial ideas can help you with this:
Kendama toy. Quite recently, this entertaining toy came to us from the land of the rising sun. It somewhat resembles a hammer and has a handle, two protruding bowls and a ball tied with string. Kendama is not as simple as anything else among the Japanese. You need to alternately catch the ball on the bowls and the spike, and the latter manipulation is particularly difficult and requires special skill. Playing with kendama calms the nervous system and helps develop dexterity and coordination. In addition, there are kendama competitions.
Aquarium night light with jellyfish. The night light will create a truly magical atmosphere in the birthday boy’s room, immerse him in a world of relaxation and help him fall asleep faster. Its artificial inhabitants differ from real ones only in that they do not require either care or food. An incredibly impressive gift.
Gyroscope. An equally exciting toy captivates not only children, but also adults. Despite its apparent simplicity, learning how to use it requires a lot of training. The top, spun to the required speed, is released onto a smooth surface and its spectacular rotation is enjoyed. The toy relieves stress and allows you to study the basic laws of physics in practice.
A 14-year-old person can also be surprised by:
- roombox;
- magnetic hourglass;
- hanging table for balcony;
- calendar constructor;
- reverse clock;
- home planetarium;
- weather forecaster;
- machine for making cotton candy;
- musical speakers “Dancing fountains”;
- ant farm;
- electronic butterfly/firefly in a jar.

Boys take their hobbies very seriously, so you can really please and surprise him with a chic gift for his hobbies. The choice depends on the boy’s interests, and you definitely know more about them than we do. However, we will offer several very common options, at least one of which will definitely suit you:
- A cool gaming mouse or keyboard is a cool solution for what to give your teenage brother if he is into computer games and is a real gamer. Thanks to such a gift, playing will become even more interesting and enjoyable, so the birthday boy will be delighted and will be able to show off to his friends.
- A cool set of modern games for a computer or console will allow a guy to get a new charge of positivity from his favorite leisure option. The main thing is to ask what genre of games the guy prefers, or even better, look at what games he plays most often, and buy the continuation of these series, then you will definitely guess.
- The guitar will allow you to improve your musical skills. If a guy is a music lover, he will 100% like your gift and will find it very pleasant and useful. A guy with a guitar is every girl’s dream, so such an idea will also be useful in terms of meeting new people.
- An action camera will allow you to shoot bright and interesting videos from the everyday life of a teenager, bright everyday life. This gift is especially relevant for those guys who love tricks, cycling or skateboarding.
- A sports bag is an excellent, interesting, and most importantly, useful gift for a boy who is interested in sports. For example, for your brother’s 15th birthday, you can give him a personalized item, or a model with a print depicting a personal logo specially designed for the birthday boy.
- A set of fan paraphernalia of your favorite team will be the most desirable and pleasant gift for a true fan who does not miss a single match and knows the history of all the players. The uniform, as well as paraphernalia with an autograph, will give a lot of bright impressions to the birthday boy; he will not be able to forget such a gift.
- A personalized medal holder will be useful to a real athlete who is involved in professional or amateur sports. A stylish personalized medal holder will help you beautifully display medals and cups. After all, your brother has something to be proud of, so let everyone see it!
If you are not entirely sure what exactly you should buy as a gift for your brother when he turns 14–15, or you have little understanding of his hobbies, you can purchase a certificate to a themed store. This way the birthday boy can buy himself the perfect gift for his hobby. You just need to choose the store you need: computer accessories, fishing tackle, sporting goods, etc. You definitely won’t have any problems choosing a store.
Money as a gift
If you know that your child is saving money for some expensive item or you just can’t decide on a gift, give a financial gift that can be designed as follows:
- wallet with banknotes;
- money cake;
- personalized bank card;
- pirate chest with chocolate coins and bills;
- photo frame with banknotes inserted into it;
- a sailboat with banknotes instead of sails;
- money tree with leaves in the form of banknotes.
For beauty and style
Adolescence often “hits self-esteem.” Girls are seriously interested in cosmetics and fashion.
It is more difficult to choose a gift in this area, since the birthday girl may only use one brand of cosmetics.
Manicure, pedicure: tool sets
A complete set for home manicure and pedicure, which includes:
- lamp for drying nails;
- gel polishes;
- files;
- top and base;
- bonder;
- liquids for removing sticky layers;
- lint-free wipes.
You can present a device for manicure and pedicure with grinding tools. But such a gift will be quite expensive.
Jewelry: yes or no?
What to give a teenage girl if she has everything is a difficult question for parents and relatives.
Jewelry is a universal idea. But it should be light and airy. No bulky stones.
An elegant pendant, earrings, or gold chain are suitable options.
What to give to a fashionista?
A teenager who is passionate about fashion can be given a certificate for various courses, or to the store of her favorite brand.
These are bags, glasses, accessories. This is a gift you can give to your sister.

What is better not to give to a girl or boy for 14 years?
When choosing a gift for a 14-year-old teenager, you should remember the hypersensitivity and vulnerability inherent in this age, and abandon the following ideas:
- dolls and soft toys;
- school supplies;
- means to combat deficiencies;
- casual clothes and shoes;
- used items;
- houseplants;
- outdated models of gadgets;
- things not according to age;
- underwear;
- souvenir figurines;
- ashtrays and lighters;
- perfumery;
- counterfeits of famous brands.
What not to give
A boy on his birthday is unlikely to be happy with school supplies, unless he is passionate about studying with terrible force. Also, he is unlikely to be interested in formal clothes or shoes, accessories like ties or cufflinks. They are not interested in this yet. You can’t, of course, give beer mugs “for growth” or a mouse pad in the shape of a woman’s breast. Toys and modern gadgets are the best gifts, both from parents and from friends and acquaintances.
You shouldn’t give him anything you would like him to become interested in. Yes, hobbies at this age can change from day to day, but the chessboard, if the young man is not interested at all, will simply become covered with dust on the shelf.
