Write down all the things they like to do and read through it. This will give you an idea of the area of gift to focus on. Perhaps her hobbies are gaming and soccer. She might spend lots of time with friends - perhaps a game for her to play with her friends would work? She might love animals or coding, Write down what you know about her and see if it sparks some inspiration.
2.) Ask on social media
A friend of mine is struggling to find a Christmas gift idea for her 14 year old daughter who had just had her birthday and has everything she could possible want or need. She put a post on Facebook explaining her situation and as well as lots of empathy from people who are in a similar position, she had lots of suggestions of gifts she could get.
3.) Consider experience and virtual gifts
The perfect gift may not be a physical gift. It may be that you can get her a virtual gift. Perhaps a subscription to Netflix or Spotify. She might like some young person driving lessons. A gift card to her favorite store might be the best idea. Other ideas include photoshoots, spa days, cinema tickets, a make up tutorial or an online course.
4.) Ask her
Sometimes it's best just to ask her rather than buy her something she doesn't want. You could use this article as a starting point. She may like something you hadn't thought she would. Also you can see if it generatesa discussion and other suggestions.
5.) Look at photos
When I'm buying jewelry, clothes and other gifts for people, I will quite often look at photos I have of them and look at jewelry they are wearing on them to see the kind of taste they have. This is especially useful for teenage girls. You can see the type of jewelry, clothes and accessories they like and buy something similar they would also like.
Photos can also give you a good idea of how they spend their time. If they have a social media account, are there photos playing sport, hanging with friends or something else? Obviously don't invade her privacy, but photos can give good clues.
6.) Think about their circumstances
What problems do they have in life that a gift might solve? Perhaps they keep falling out with friends. Would a book on friendships help or perhaps signing them up to a new sport or hobby might help them make new ones?
7.) Give Something Useful
The danger of buying gifts when you're not sure of what she wants is giving something that won't be used and will end up in the bottom of a cupboard somewhere. Try and buy useful gifts. If it's winter, clothing and accessories that will keep her warm. Everybody always needs items such as socks. If that sounds boring make them funny socks or give her socks with some money or another fun item inside.
8.) Ask Friends or Family
Sometimes the people closest to them will know something they want or need, so send them a quick text to see if they have any ideas.
9.) Think about their Future
Consider what they have coming up in the year ahead. Perhaps they have a camping trip planned, they are going to be spending a lot of time studying or they have a big sporting event coming up. Maybe they have a goal they are trying to achieve. What kind of things could you get that would help them with their plans?
10.) If all else fails, money is the way...
Teenagers like money. It gives them some independence. They can keep it for when there is something they really do need or want when the time comes. Or they can save it towards their future. Consider giving it in a fun way. For example, make them do a scavenger hunt for their cash. Or hide it in another small gift.
