Unique Birthday Gifts For Adolescents
by Connor Sullivan
If you have ever had to shop for a kid between the ages of 13 and 20, you know what a challenge it can be to find something they will love. Even the most polite adolescents are sometimes finicky and they may have interests that change with the weather. One year they are just emerging from childhood and still hanging on to toys and the next, they have blossomed into nearly grown adults and their interests have matured. This makes shopping for a gift a challenge, and it discourages gift-givers from spending much money if the interest in any particular gift fades quickly. Many who need to give gifts to teens just ask them outright what they want.
This is a great way to avoid confusion or disappointment, but it takes the surprise out of gift-giving. If you are trying to come up with an idea for a great gift for an adolescent, take some time to think about their passions. It may seem crazy to imagine the passions of a teen, but they do exist. There may be an activity that the child has loved growing up and still enjoys. If this is a sport, there are endless gift options involving their favorite team or their desire to excel. If your gift recipient plays baseball, consider giving them a pitching machine for their big event. Pitching machines allow users to practice hitting and fielding skills, even when working alone. This is a gift that is especially useful for children with no siblings or kids who have to practice their skills over a summer break from school.
Those who are shopping for a child that is more creative and less the sports enthusiast still have plenty of options. Think about what crafts they may enjoy or how they like to explore their creativity? Do they consider themselves artists and if so, what medium do they prefer? If you know a special someone who loves to paint or draw, you can buy them supplies to add to an already existing collection or to get them started on a hobby in art. They may also like a gift certificate to a store that allows them to shop for their own craft supplies. Finally, they may enjoy being enrolled in an art class that lets them learn a new medium. If they have spent a lot of time at home working on drawings or paintings, they may also learn to enjoy working with stained glass or clay. Most cities have classes at the local community college or art center that teaches these skills for an affordable rate.
Finally, if you truly want to make an adolescent happy with their gift, plan something the two of you can do together that involves something they love. It can be hard to talk a teenager into spending quality time with family, but if you offer them a chance to go to a concert, a sporting event, or shopping, they may jump at the chance. Do your best to choose something you will both enjoy so you both feel enthusiastic about the outing.
