Technology:

Movies and DVD box sets

Basics:

Gift Guide 2013: Girls




Hi,
Christmas is near which means you gotta start xmas shopping and swipping them credit cards but never leave it to the last minute!

Don't know what to buy your friend, girlfriend, sister, daughter, mom, aunt, granny or niece? It's okay, don't panic. It can be hard finding the perfect gift sometimes.
Ask them what they would like for you to buy them. It's alright if they answer back with nothing or something vague because I'm gonna help you.

We'll start with kids and make our way up the age chart.

Little girls (aged 2 to 10):
Kids at that age don't have an interset in money or clothes so stick to the toys department while shopping. 
Barbies are the best dolls you can get. Over 50 years old but still the number 1 doll.
I noticed that girls at this age are curious about makeup probably because they see other people puting it on. A beginners make up kit will make them happy, lelli kelly shoes always come with make up kits so that might be a good idea.
Another idea would be jewllery, come on no matter what age you are, diamonds will always be your best friend.

Preteens(10-12) & teens (13-19) & young adults(20-25):
Clothes is a simple one but you must know their taste in clothing and size.
Makeup
Nail polish
Their favourite movie or album.
Video games...yes girls DO play video games
Paintings to hang. If they're into art, it would be a nice gift.
If you know any of their hobbies try getting something similar to what hobbie they like.
photo collage, who doesn't like meomories from the past all together.
Money or gift cards, you can never go wrong there.

Adults(26 and over):
Cute mugs
Books
home decor
gift cards
voulchers for a relaxing day out like to the spa, waterpark etc.

Seniors:
Pictures of when she was younger, thinking back to the good times.
Knitwear
okay I'm sorry but I never really shopped for seniors before considering my grandparents don't live here so I wouldn't know.

I hope that helped but it all reality the best gift is a gift with meaning, if you know something is meaningful to her, buy her some thing that will make her smile and think "I remember that time told him/her that, I can't belived they remebered". It's way more special than some random thing you bought cause it was "pretty".

A DIY gift is adorable aswell if you don't screw it up. If you're like me and you make polymer clay charms you could make them and give them away as xmas presents.

Bye Bye.
