When looking for a gift for your 14-year-old, remember that these young ladies have a lot on their mind and generally feel misunderstood. That’s why a journal is a terrific gift for girls of this age. They can use it to scrawl the name of their latest and greatest crushes and to release their most recent troubles and deep, dark secrets. Chances are they won’t want to talk to you about what they’re going through, so a journal is a great way for them to purge. Then you can find out where they hide their journal and read about what’s really going on. Just kidding! Okay, maybe not.

Purses, wallets and handbags gifts are also perfect for that young lady. Why? Because it brings girls one step closer to being a woman. And if you choose wisely, all her friends will be jealous of her stylin’ new bag, which your daughter will love. Where adults tend to go for the more subdued colors, young girls prefer the lighter and brighter colors, such as lime green, baby blue or a nice pastel pink. If you’re a mother, you’ve seen her trying out your bags, so why not give her one of her own? This is the perfect gift for her to start collecting money, lip glosses and all that other junk that seems to accumulate over time.

One simple gift item that is sure to please, is a gift card. For the young girl who feels that no one understands her or knows what she likes, this is the gift that keeps on giving. A gift card gives your 14-year-old the responsibility to choose whatever she likes, which is totally awesome. She learns to spend within a spending limit and has the flexibility and freedom to shop wherever she wants instead of being limited to one store. She’s a big girl now, and she appreciates when you let her make her own decisions. And on top of that, the gift card looks just like a credit card which makes her look super cool.

Shopping for 14-year-olds doesn’t have to be difficult. If you pay attention to their likes and dislikes, it can actually be easier to buy gifts for them than you think. The key is to remember is that these ladies don’t want to be recognized for the girls that they are, but for the young women that they are becoming. For that reason, when looking for a gift, choose something that shows respect for who they are. Good luck to you in your search. Use the gift suggestions above as a guide, to help you score big points with your 14-year old. And if all else fails, they will always be happy to receive cash!
